Seattle Symphony Press Room
The Seattle Symphony, founded in 1903, embarks on its 109th season under the artistic leadership of its new 37-year-old Music Director, Ludovic Morlot, one of the leading conductors of his generation. Under former Music Director and now Conductor Laureate, Gerard Schwarz, the Seattle Symphony completed more than 140 recordings and received 12 Grammy nominations, 2 Emmys and numerous awards. The Orchestra performs in one of the world’s finest concert venues — the acoustically superb Benaroya Hall — in downtown Seattle and is internationally recognized for its adventurous and innovative programming of contemporary works, its devotion to the classics, and its extensive recording history. From September through July, the Symphony is heard live by more the 315,000 people. For more information on the Seattle Symphony, visit www.seattlesymphony.org.
