Doors open 7 PM; pre-concert talk at 7:15; concert starts at 8 PM.
Seattle Chamber Orchestra’s mission is to gather world-class musicians, to curate and perform chamber and orchestral repertoire that uplifts, inspires, and celebrates live performances. Brought to life through thoughtful and at times risky, programming that educates as much as inspires, SCO seeks to evolve and reinvigorate classical music, which has suffered most of all during the pandemic, by providing paid opportunities for professional musicians to explore traditional and new music in a sort of continuum space-temporal and push the boundaries of programming beyond those of other orchestras. SCO reaffirms the value of live music by bringing adventurous repertoire to eager and open-minded audiences.
Founded in 2021, the Seattle Chamber Orchestra is rooted in our cherished Pacific Northwest’s casual and open culture and brings together the region’s top instrumentalists to create an all-sensory experience of music where you are invited to be part of the experience rather than merely witnessing it. SCO seeks to bring music lovers tantalizing combinations of the traditional and contemporary repertoire, performed by world-class professional musicians.
