Royce Hall Debut

“The orchestra played with brilliance and luminosity all night.” –Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Celebrated violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg joins one of the country’s leading orchestras in its spectacular Royce Hall debut. Founded in 1903, the Seattle Symphony is among the oldest and largest cultural institutions in the Pacific Northwest. Under the leadership of its renowned music director Gerard Schwarz, the Grammy nominated Symphony has become one of the world’s most recorded orchestras, featured on more than 80 CDs. Recognized for its innovation, daring programming and tradition of performing 20th century repertoire, the Symphony regularly attracts a virtual “who’s who” of guest performers and conductors, including, in this season alone, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, French conductor Stéphane Denève and superstar Chinese pianist Lang Lang. In 2004, Schwarz and the Symphony appeared in Carnegie Hall, celebrating the orchestra’s centennial.
