Artiste: Northwest Boychoir

Music Director Ludovic Morlot placed an emphatic Fortissimo ending on an eight-year tenure that has placed the Seattle Symphony on the global map.

In their generous all-Stravinsky programme, Ludovic Morlot and Seattle Symphony uncover the hidden beauties of the neglected Perséphone through an innovative collaboration with visual artist Michael Curry.

To open the new year, Seattle Symphony music director Ludovic Morlot chose a standard work, Beethoven’s Ninth, prefaced with an unusual one by French composer Olivier Messaien.
