Kahchun Wong conductor Benjamin Lulich clarinet Seth Krimsky bassoon DUKAS The Sorcerer’s Apprentice R. STRAUSS Duet Concertino MUSSORGSKY Pictures at an Exhibition Dark and stormy French skies dominate this program, with Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice opening the program. Ravel's lush orchestration of Mussorgsky’s original work for solo piano vividly bring these images to life. Richard Strauss’ Duet Concertino is a surprising ‘first performance’ for the Seattle Symphony. Imagined as a dialogue between beauty and the beast, it highlights the lyricism of the clarinet and the gruffer solo bassoon, performed by Benjamin Lulich and Seth Krimsky. Benjamin Lulich’s position is generously underwritten as the Mr. & Mrs. Paul R. Smith Principal Clarinet.

Alpesh Chauhan conductor Hilary Hahn violin BRAHMS Tragic Overture BRAHMS Violin Concerto LUTOSŁAWSKI Concerto for Orchestra We welcome back Hilary Hahn to perform Brahms’ epic Violin Concerto. Massive in its scope but with a profound sense of beauty, this is one of the greatest violin concertos ever written, presented here with new cadenzas by Jessie Montgomery. The Polish composer Lutosławski used folk melodies to intriguing effect in his Concerto for Orchestra, making instrumental colors the engine of a virtuosic vehicle for the entire ensemble.
