Mon June 10
In the Spotlight: Hannah Kendall Seattle Symphony presents the U.S. premiere of The Spark Catchers, a luminescent number from British (and millennial!!) composer Hannah Kendall. The composition conveys such a strong sense of narrative and action-adventure drama that it could be the soundtrack to a lost scene from Star Wars. The piece, commissioned by the BBC, has been getting good reviews. “Confident,” says Classical Source. “Rhythmically incisive,” says The Guardian. Stick around after the show to check out the symphony’s new innovative space, and also to talk shop about chamber music with Kendall. RS (Benaroya Hall, 7:30 pm, $25)
