Seattle Symphony Assistant Conductor Stilian Kirov will lead the Orchestra in a free lunchtime concert in the City Hall lobby. Mayor Mike McGinn will welcome attendees to the performance, which will feature masterworks from the 19th and 20th centuries. The Symphony will perform Bartók’s Rumanian Folk Dances for Orchestra, the first movement from Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor (featuring Amelia Sie, violin), Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, and Brahms’ Hungarian Dances No. 5 in G minor and No. 6 in D minor. After the concert, audience members are invited to mingle at a post-performance coffee reception in City Hall’s Bertha Knight Landes Room. Seattle Symphony has established a tradition of performing free concerts at City Hall to standing-room-only crowds every year since 2006.
12 p.m.
