Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra

Join us for an enchanting evening with the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra as we present "The Music of Couture: Stravinsky and Chanel’s Paris." This special concert event will take place on Friday, April 7, 2023, from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM at The Forum at Town Hall Seattle, located at 1119 8th Avenue, Seattle, WA, 98101.

Celebrating 100 years since Coco Chanel sold her first bottle of No.5, this performance delves into the vibrant music that echoed through the burgeoning Parisian world of couture. The evening will feature "The Soldier's Tale," a dramatic suite by Igor Stravinsky, who was rumored to be Chanel's lover. The program also includes Germaine Tailleferre's dream-like "Image" and other exuberant pieces from Paris' Jazz Age, such as "The Creation of the World" by Darius Milhaud and "La revue de cuisine" by Bohuslav Martinů.

Under the baton of Geoffrey Larson, the orchestra will transport you to the heart of Paris with these captivating works. The concert will begin with a prelude at 7:00 PM featuring Jeremy Bacon on jazz piano, and will conclude with a postlude performance by Kim Maguire, jazz voice.

The Otto Bar will be open, offering refreshments within the intimate setting of Town Hall's Forum performance space. This is a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of music and fashion that defined an era, brought to life by the talented musicians of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra.
