Angélica Negrón – New work TBA (world premiere)

Jean Sibelius – Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43

From its icy, desolate opening to its robust, jubilant finale, Sibelius’ Violin Concerto glows. Isabelle Faust performs the seldom-heard original version of the piece — full of unexpected twists and turns. Thomas Dausgaard expertly shapes the arching melodies and majestic lines of Sibelius’ Second Symphony. This program is part of the Seattle Symphony's two-year Sibelius Cycle.

The concert will take place at 7:30pm.

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