Celebrate Asia!

Extraordinary Korean violinist Hahn-Bin—flamboyant, audacious, exuberant and deeply musical, solos in Seattle Symphony’s Celebrate Asia! program at Benaroya Hall. It’s a concert unlike any other, emphasizing our area’s diverse Asian community with music both Eastern (Kay He, Zhou Long) and Western (Gershwin and Tchaikovsky), including solo trumpeter Cuong Vu with his group and Jie Ma playing the expressive Asian lute called the pipa. Local music groups from various Asian communities perform in the lobby, and you’ll see many people in beautiful traditional attire, performers and audience members alike. Mei-Ann Chen conducts.
