Seattle Opera and Seattle Symphony

I called the Seattle Opera Administration Office today and found out that I have training on the 12th! I am very excited to be stepping into the business side of the music world and I am very grateful for the free dress rehearsal tickets that will be made available to me because of it. :)
I know I've already mentioned the Opera's 2009 season so I won't go on about it. I'm just really excited and wanted to share the good news.

This Sunday is the Mahler 5 concert that my husband and I have been looking forward to since we bought tickets in August. We can't wait to hear UW faculty perform and are geared up for our first symphony performance of the season. It should prove to be a good one, especially since the symphony will have played the program 4 times by then.

The Seattle Symphony has been performing since December 29, 1903 - over a century! In 1998 the symphony moved into Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle. The current director, Gerard Schwarz, has been with the symphony since 1983 and I believe this is his second to last season with Seattle. I feel very fortunate to see a symphony when a conductor is approaching the end of their tenure. After years of developing relationships with the orchestra members and staff, the group must be in some sort of flow as a result of that ( I believe Gerard Schwarz's relationship with Seattle is good). Gerard Schwarz even has his own day in Seattle: Septemeber 24th. Here is a link to the post announcing it: http://blog.seattlesymphony.org/?p=919

That's all for now. Have a great weekend everyone. Go Huskies!
