Seattle Symphony: Dausgaard Conducts Stravinsky

Maurice Ravel – Le tombeau de Couperin
Brett Dean – Carlo
Adeliia Faizullina – Tatar Folk Songs
Igor Stravinsky – Pulcinella Suite

Composers often look over their shoulders. To memorialize friends who had died in World War I, Ravel took refuge in the airy, graceful forms of the French Baroque. In Pulcinella, Stravinsky melded Classical poise with modern rhythms and harmonies. And in Carlo, Brett Dean elaborates on music of love, death and guilt by the notorious madrigalist (and murderer!), Carlo Gesualdo.

The concert will take place at 7:30pm.

Season subscription packages are now available. Individual ticket prices TBD.
