Music, Thanks and Giving will feature some of Seattle’s top classical musicians who have come together in support of the growing number of disenfranchised people in our city, state, and country. The first half of the concert will feature works from the Classical, Romantic and Contemporary genres including pieces by Schumann, Bloch, Hoffmeister, Bolcom, and some American classics. The second half will feature works of the Baroque on period instruments and voices including pieces by Monteverdi, Buxehude, Matteis, and Merula. The evening will end with a celebration of love as expressed by Henry Purcell.
