Intérprete: Seattle Symphony Chorale

In combining two works of contemporary American composer John Adams with Beethoven's most iconic symphony, Conductor Emeritus Morlot gave the audience much to think about.

Led by guest conductor David Danzmayr, the Seattle Symphony's performance of Beethoven's Ninth resumes an interrupted tradition, with a Buddhist prayer set to music by Lili Boulanger as the touching preface.
