Haydn's oratorio The Seasons is divided into four parts, corresponding to Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, and is filled with "tone-painting": a plowman whistles as he works (in fact, he whistles the well-known theme from Haydn's own "Surprise" Symphony), a bird shot by a hunter falls from the sky, there is a sunrise…and much more! Among the rousing choruses are a hunting song with horn calls, a wine celebration with dancing peasants, a loud thunderstorm and a stirring "ode to toil." Advance tickets for this performance may be
ordered through Brown Paper Tickets online,
by calling 1-800-838-3006 or in person at any Seattle-area Silver
Platters location. |

This year our annual program of (mostly) Baroque delights includes four disparate yet enticing compositions: Purcell's Masque in Dioclesian (set in a classical Arcadia, where nymphs and shepherds mingle with gods and goddesses), a a sparkling String Symphony from the yothful pen of Felix Mendelssohn, selections from Telemann's Tafelmusik, and J.S. Bach's D minor keyboard concerto (played by pianist Povilas Stravinsky). Advance tickets for this performance may be
ordered through Brown Paper Tickets online,
by calling 1-800-838-3006 or in person at any Seattle-area Silver
Platters location. |
