Seattle Symphony: Beethoven Untuxed

Seattle Symphony

Friday, January 10, 2025 @ 7:00pm – 8:00pm (PST)

Benaroya Hall – S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium, Seattle, WA, United States

$25-$96

Jun Märkl, conductor

Francis Poulenc — Les Biches Suite, FP 36b
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92

Poulenc won early notoriety with ballet music that skewered traditional gender roles—in this case, a 1920s house party where every flirtation was possible. At the other extreme of dance, Beethoven's Seventh explores every rhythm in pure symphonic delight.
