Jonathan Harvey – Bhakti for chamber ensemble and quadraphonic tape (1982) (West Coast premiere)
For its season finale concert, Seattle Modern Orchestra is thrilled to perform British composer Jonathan Harvey’s epic 50-minute work Bhakti (devotion), centered around Sanskrit hymns from the Rig Veda toward a transcendent consciousness. The ensemble and tape are engaged in "dialogue, transformation, memory, anticipation, simultaneous translation, and reaching beyond the instrumental scale to a more universal dimension."
Pre-concert presentation at 7:30pm with SMO co-Artistic Director Jérémy Jolley.
Tickets: $25 (seniors $15, students $10)
