Discover Music: Our Earth

Stilian Kirov, conductor
Seattle Symphony

How does music create nature's landscapes through sound? Youth from the Puget Sound Region will perform local works including a new piece from Seattle Opera's Our Earth project, composed by Eric Banks with libretti by Irene Keliher. When salmon fail to return to the sea one spring, Orca, Raven, Coyote and a greedy fisherman head upriver on a journey of a lifetime.

Perfect for families with children ages 6 to 11, plus pre-concert activities at 10am in the Samuel & Althea Stroum Grand Lobby.
