Seattle Symphony: Augustin Hadelich Plays Prokofiev

• Augustin Hadelich, violin
• Dalia Stasevska, conductor

Prepare to be swept off your feet as Dalia Stasevska returns to Seattle with a program celebrating the rhythms of Mexico and Argentina. The Night of the Maya pulsates with a huge percussion section, traditional instruments and a full orchestra. Originally composing for a 1939 film score, Revueltas created an orchestral suite to give this music a life in the concert hall. "Malambo" illustrates the infectious rhythms of Argentinian gaucho dance traditions. And beloved collaborator Augustin Hadelich brings Prokofiev at his most wickedly daring with the First Violin Concerto—a concert that could very well raise the roof of Benaroya Hall.

Pre-concert talk presented one hour prior to each performance. Free with ticket purchase.

Runs Apr. 24-26.
