'JANE' with the Seattle Symphony

William Ross, conductor

Immerse yourself in the world of pioneering primatologist Jane Goodall with the stunning National Geographic documentary, JANE. Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage, award-winning director Brett Morgen tells the story of Goodall, a woman whose chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. The film is set against a rich orchestral score from legendary composer Philip Glass. See the film on a giant screen while the Seattle Symphony performs Glass’ score live in the concert hall.
