Art can turn our viewpoints inside out, bringing to light deep human experiences, and urging us to reexamine our reality. Opera becomes chamber music, revealing both beauty and tragedy in miniature; finite geometry inspires wild virtuosity; and captivity and grief bring transcendence. Join SMO for this intimate journey set in one of Seattle’s most cherished cultural and civic gathering places.
Tickets available at door only.
About Seattle Modern Orchestra
Founded in 2010, Seattle Modern Orchestra (SMO) is the only large ensemble in the Pacific Northwest solely dedicated to the music of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Led by co-artistic directors Julia Tai and Jérémy Jolley, SMO commissions and premieres new works from an international lineup of composers, in addition to presenting important pieces from the contemporary repertoire that are rarely if ever heard by Seattle audiences. The ensemble "operates at that exciting cusp between old and new, between tradition and innovation" (Vanguard Seattle) curating new sounds and experiences for concert goers in the region.
SMO provides audiences with performances of the best in contemporary chamber and orchestral music, and develops radio talks, lectures, and other forms of outreach in an accessible and inviting format all designed to expand the listener’s appreciation and awareness of the music of today.
