The Seattle Festival Orchestra opens its 50th anniversary season with "Sabre Dance." The program opens with music by Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, including selections from his dramatic “Spartacus Suite No. 2”, the sweeping “Waltz” from “Masquerade,” and the iconic, energetic “Sabre Dance.” Contemporary composer Eldar Hudiyev’s “Circus,” featuring clarinet soloist Benjamin Lulich, brings a playful and dazzling contrast to the program. Completing the program is “Symphony No. 50, Mount St. Helens” by Armenian American composer Alan Hovhaness, inspired by the awe-inspiring forces of nature unleashed by the 1980 volcanic eruption.Join us for a pre-concert talk at 1:30pm hosted by Sean MacLean of Classical KING FM!
