Spring4Music After Hours: Seattle Symphony Musicians play Le Poisson Rouge
 
The night before the Seattle Symphony lights up Spring For Music at Carnegie Hall with the John Luther Adams piece Alex Ross touted as “the loveliest apocalypse in musical history,” Music Director Ludovic Morlot and six musicians head downtown to LPR for a late-night jam that connects John Cage’s prepared piano experiments in Seattle in the 30’s to the rise of grunge, airplanes, technology and environmentalism that define the city today.

Seattle Symphony Musicians

A forward-thinking city living on the edge of the future doesn’t just deserve an orchestra that plays boldly, it insists on it. The audacious creativity and exacting performance that produce jet airplanes that move the world and software that makes it run better shouldn’t settle for an ordinary orchestra. Ludovic Morlot, the orchestra’s dynamic young new music director now beginning his third season, embodies the spirit of “playing boldly.” Under his leadership, the Seattle Symphony is actively exploring what it means to be an orchestra that deeply engages with its community, creating unexpected artistic partnerships and innovative concert series. Under Morlot, the orchestra has broadened its repertoire and actively presented new works honoring the Pacific Northwest’s musical heritage. The Seattle Symphony has been experimenting with new concert formats and locations, and collaborations with non-traditional partners. Last season the orchestra performed or presented more than 200 concerts in front of 315,000 people. The Seattle Symphony has a loyal subscription base of 25,000 and reaches more than 100,000 children and adults each year through its extensive outreach and education programs. The orchestra’s deep engagement with its community is not just an add-on to its mainstage concerts, but an essential part of what defines it. The Seattle Symphony was founded in 1903 and has released over 140 recordings and received 12 Grammy nominations and two Emmy awards. Ludovic Morlot will lead the orchestra in a Spring for Music Festival performance at Carnegie Hall on May 6 in a program including John Luther Adams’ Become Ocean, Varèse’s Déserts and Debussy’s La Mer.
