David Alexander Rahbee conducts the UW Symphony in a concert of works by Sibelius, Stravinsky, and Beethoven. Violinist Maria Larionoff is the featured soloist on Sibelius’ Two Humoresques for violin and orchestra and Stravinsky’s Violin Concerto in D major.

Former Seattle Symphony concertmaster Maria Larionoff has appeared as a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Seattle, Yakima and Port Angeles symphonies, the Orquesta Sinfónica Carlos Chávez, and the University of Washington and San Francisco chamber orchestras. Also versatile as a violist, she has collaborated in many chamber music festivals. In May 2002, with her husband, University of Washington double bassist Barry Lieberman, she launched the immensely successful American String Project, a conductorless string orchestra comprised of concertmasters, professors and distinguished soloists from around the world. She plays on a 1775 Guadagnini (the ex-Lorand) on loan from the family of Dr Benum W. Fox of Chicago.

David Alexander Rahbee is currently artist in residence at the University of Washington School of Music in Seattle, where he is conductor of the University Orchestra and teaches conducting. He was a recipient of the American-Austrian Foundation's 2003 Herbert von Karajan Fellowship for Young Conductors, the 2005 International Richard-Wagner-Verband Stipend, and received a fellowship from the Acanthes Centre in Paris in 2007.
