Seattle Symphony: Jan Lisiecki Plays Prokofiev

• Jan Lisiecki, piano
• Karen Kamensek, conductor

Fazıl Say — Grand Bazaar, Op. 65
Sergei Prokofiev — Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16 (Jan Lisiecki, piano)
William Walton — Symphony No. 1 in B-flat minor

Grammy-winning conductor Karen Kamensek leads a diverse program that spans the globe. Jan Lisiecki, whose playing is "pristine, lyrical and intelligent" (The New York Times), commands the stage with the distinctive lush melodies and rhythmic energy of Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto. The haunting and majestic themes of William Walton make his First Symphony one of the great 20th-century orchestral works. Fazil Say's soundscape Grand Bazaar transports us to the vibrant and bustling marketplaces of his native Turkey.

Doors open 1 hour, 30 minutes prior to performance.
