Seattle Symphony: Mendelssohn Untuxed

Cristian Măcelaru, conductor

Felix Mendelssohn – Symphony No. 3, "Scottish"

Mendelssohn’s Third Symphony revisits the awe he felt as a young man in Edinburgh, beholding the ancient castle of Mary, Queen of Scots. This Untuxed concert is short (no intermission) and casual (no formal wear for the orchestra), with engaging insights and wit from host and Seattle Symphony bass Jonathan Green.

The Seattle Symphony invites young people ages 8 to 18 to attend most Delta Air Lines Masterworks, Seattle Pops, and Untuxed series performances FREE with the purchase of an adult ticket. Family Connections tickets are available at the time of adult ticket purchase by phone and in-person only at the Seattle Symphony Ticket Office.
