Tchaikovsky Untuxed

Updated March 11, 2020: In an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) all performances and events scheduled at Benaroya Hall through March 31, 2020 will be canceled or postponed.

Prokofiev’s whimsical First Symphony and Tchaikovsky’s gut-wrenching Fifth show two Russian outsiders arriving at bold and highly personal strategies to cast aside the heavy mantles of Mozart and Beethoven. This Untuxed concert is short (no intermission) and casual (no formal wear for the orchestra), with engaging insights and wit from host and Seattle Symphony bass Jonathan Green.
