Seattle Symphony: Sonic Evolution: This is Indie!

Tomoko Mukaiyama, piano
Pablo Rus Broseta, conductor

Brittelle – World Premiere
Gordon – The Unchanging Sea for Piano and Orchestra, with Film by Bill Morrison (World Premiere)
Fly Moon Royalty

Indie filmmaker Bill Morrison, known for his riveting collages of archaic footage with original scores, joins forces with the famed Bang on a Can co-founder Michael Gordon for a one-of-a-kind evening. Morrison surfaces archival footage from Seattle’s history as a backdrop for Gordon’s electrified concerto for virtuoso pianist and multimedia artist Tomoko Mukaiyama.

Then Brooklyn-based composer William Brittelle offers up a new work that features his intoxicating blend of Classical artistry and indie-pop charm and Seattle artists Fly Moon Royalty perform their unique mix of blues, hip-hop, and electronica with new orchestral backdrops.

Co-Presented With The Seattle International Film Festival.
