THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, AT 7:30PM SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, AT 8PM Dausgaard Conducts Stravinsky

Thomas Dausgaard conductor Patricia Kopatchinskaja violin ROSSINI Semiramide Overture FRANCISCO COLL Violin Concerto (Seattle Symphony Co-commission & U.S. Premiere) RACHMANINOV Symphonic Dances Music Director Thomas Dausgaard and the Seattle Symphony shine in Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances, evoking church bells and Russian Orthodox chants — the composer reminiscing about his homeland. Francisco Coll composed his Violin Concerto as a portrait of its charismatic soloist, the fabulous Patricia Kopatchinskaja.

Thomas Dausgaard’s position is generously underwritten as the Harriet Overton Stimson Music Director. Francisco Coll's Violin Concerto is presented as part of the Seattle Symphony’s New Music WORKS initiative, supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

To memorialize friends who had died in World War I, Ravel took refuge in the airy, graceful forms of the French Baroque. In Pulcinella, Stravinsky melded Classical poise with modern rhythms and harmonies. And in Carlo, Brett Dean elaborates on music of love, death and guilt by the notorious madrigalist (and murderer!), Carlo Gesualdo.
