In the Community
Initiating and nurturing relationships, building community: that is what Seattle Symphony's Education Community outreach is all about. At the core of this community is Seattle Symphony's Pacific Northwest Community Orchestra. Participants include area high school and college musicians, amateur musicians of our corporate sponsors, and Seattle Symphony staff and musicians. It is a truly magical, multi-generational gathering of families and friends of Seattle Symphony throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Email mahlermania@seattlesymphony.org to receive notification of informal readings of great symphonic works.
Join the conversation! Many Seattle Symphony Masterworks Season concerts include both Pre-concert Talks and post-concert Ask the Artist events. Want more? Check out The Score, the official blog of Seattle Symphony, at blog.seattlesymphony.org
