About

Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestral genius shines through in his colourful operatic suites, and that from his final opera Le Coq d’or is richly dramatic and expressive. The complicated folk-based story of the Snow Maiden is simplified into four enchanting movements, and that of Sadko into a single, radiantly descriptive tone-poem. The thrilling legend of Mlada is represented by vivid dances and a final Cortège.

Gerard Schwarz celebrated his farewell season as Seattle Symphony Music Director in 2010–2011. He now serves as the Rebecca & Jack Benaroya Conductor Laureate. Under Schwarz’s artistic leadership, the Seattle Symphony evolved into one of the world’s finest orchestras .
