Shizuo Z Kuwahara, conductor

The Seattle Symphony’s ninth annual Celebrate Asia concert features movie music by famous Japanese and Indian composers including Grammy and Academy Award winner A.R. Rahman. Highlighted by pre- and post-concert entertainment, this spectacular event is a rare opportunity to revel in the rich musical traditions of Seattle’s vibrant Asian communities.
