Hear the talented musicians of the Seattle Symphony take center stage to perform an exquisite assortment of chamber works. In the first program in the 3-concert Chamber Series, cellists of the Seattle Symphony perform the complete Beethoven cello sonata cycle — a delightful odyssey through his composing life. The Classical influence of W.A. Mozart and G.F. Haydn reverberates through the early sonatas. The third sonata marks a turning point, as cello and piano achieve musical equality and dialogue. The late sonatas defy tradition and launch us toward new horizons.

The concert will take place at 7:30pm.

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