Seattle Symphony is 106 Today

Twas on this date in 1903 that Harry West, a violinist and conductor, led the very first performance by the Seattle Symphony, then comprised of just 24 players. The program: Schubert, Rossini, Max Bruch, Jules Massenet, Pablo Sarasate. Today, under Gerard Schwarz, 90 professional musicians. Thursday: a New Year's Eve concert at Benaroya. Bravissimo!
