MASTERWORKS Revel in the Timeless Classics of Brahms, Debussy and Copland OCTOBER 5 OR 7

ENIGMA VARIATIONS Ludovic Morlot, conductor Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, piano BRAHMS: Tragic Overture BARTÓK: Piano Concerto No. 1 ELGAR: Enigma Variations Musical imagination runs wild in Elgar’s Enigma Variations and Brahms’ Tragic Overture, two powerful expressions of private thoughts. Bartók’s First Piano Concerto, with its scintillating folksongs and nocturnal mysteries, shimmers like a Hungarian hall of mirrors in Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s hands. Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s performances are generously underwritten by James & Sherry Raisbeck.

NOVEMBER 9 OR 11

BERLIOZ REQUIEM Ludovic Morlot, conductor Kenneth Tarver, tenor Seattle Symphony Chorale Seattle Pro Musica BERLIOZ: Requiem Berlioz’s Requiem shakes the earth below and soars to the heavens above, all while surrounding us with a profusion of orchestral and choral colors. This glorious work unites the spiritual and physical aspects of sound like nothing else in music. This concert is generously underwritten by Barney Ebsworth and Rebecca Layman-Amato.
