Our Place in This World | Family-Friendly Concert

Journey into the rainforest with the Seattle Festival Orchestra and explore themes of fate, magic and mimicry at our winter concert, Our Place in This World, led by guest conductor Yuchi Chou. The orchestra continues this year’s theme of featuring new music and young soloists with Parrot in the Rainforest by Korean composer SiHyun Uhm and Haydn’s Oboe Concerto featuring Seattle soloist Bhavani Kotha. Completing the program is Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony of which the composer said, “Ought it not to express all those things for which words cannot be found but which nevertheless arise in the heart and cry out for expression.”

NOTE: the family-friendly concert is reduced in length to accomodate young members of the audience. For the Haydn Oboe Concerto, the first 2 of 3 movements will played. For Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony, there will be a large cut in the first movement.
