SYML with the Seattle Symphony

SYML — Welsh for “simple” — is the solo venture of Seattle native Brian Fennell. SYML’s music encourages a feeling of sanctuary, whether that be an idea, place, or person. Released in 2019, his self-titled debut included the platinum-selling song “Where’s My Love” and fan favorite “Girl.”  For his second album, 2023’s The Day My Father Died, SYML teamed up with renowned producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Vance Joy, Father John Misty), as well as several guests: Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, Elbow’s Guy Garvey, Lucius, and Charlotte Lawrence. SYML also recently collaborated with Lana Del Rey on the song “Paris, TX,” from her Grammy-nominated album Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.

This collaboration with the Seattle Symphony will be SYML’s first live symphony performance, as well as his debut at Benaroya Hall.
