Town Music Series: Bach to Bates
$20 ($15 Town Hall members)
Named Musical America’s Composer of the Year in 2018, Mason Bates has become one of the most-performed modern composers of the 21st century. For the final concert in the Town Music series, Town Hall Seattle is presenting a night of pieces by Mason Bates alongside a selection of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, showcasing an ambitious convergence of musical canon and cutting-edge modern repertoire.
Bates’ symphonic music is the first to receive widespread acceptance for its unique integration of electronic sounds, and he is known for weaving theatrical stories into his performances. His work is evocative of Bach, who suffused his compositions with fugue and counterpoint to create motifs of action that conspired to form musical stories. Join Town Hall Seattle for a night of Town Music that transports us from the hallowed works of J.S. Bach to the electronic masterpieces of Mason Bates.
Doors – 6:30pm.
