Sophie Lippert with Adam Stern and the Seattle Philharmonic

2:00 PM14:00

Sophie Lippert with Adam Stern and the Seattle Philharmonic

Although Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's four orchestral suites are exemplars of everything that is loved about his music, they still remain relatively unknown to audiences in spite of their great potential appeal. This concert features a rare performance of the Orchestral Suite No. 2, a boistrous, tuneful and joyous work deserving of more popularity. Joseph Haydn is represented by two contrasting works: the rousing overture to his opera L'incontro improvviso, and a tempestuous dramatic "scene", Berenice, che fai?, featuring soprano Linda Tsatsanis. The concert also includes music by French composer Elsa Barraine, whose Symphony No. 2 was given its second U. S. performance during the Philharmonic's 2017-18 season; her Funeral Music for "The Entombment" of Titien will receive its U. S. premiere. The soloist will be pianist Sophie Lippert, a former winner of the Philharmonic's Don Bushell Competition.

Max Ribner Trio with Sophie Lippert

7:00 PM19:00

Max Ribner Trio with Sophie Lippert

Featuring: Saeeda Wright - Vocals || Tim Ribner - Piano || Sophie Lippert - Cello || Kristina Pescatore - Chocolat

Join us for an intimate evening & all ages event with the sounds of Max Ribner Soul Trio, Featuring musical guest Sophie Lippert on piano and cello, located at ReSound NW. 

About the music ( listen @ www.MaxRibner.com ) 

'Max’s music is like a study in cultural anthropology – a drawing together of world influences – made stronger for its variety of voices. He's compelled by the idea that each song tells its own story, one that isn’t about him, but rather a ‘collective of artists’ – each song an example of what it sounds like when we work together rather than against one another. He aims to use the stage as a platform from which to reach across cultural divides – to connect seemingly disparate communities and encourage a deeper listening. He considers his choice of instrument, The Flugel Horn – traditionally used on battlefields – to be his way of ‘calling the troops’ – reaching beyond the social boundaries that we imagine separate us – extending an invitation to collaborate rather than combat.'

All Ages Event.
Doors: 6pm 
Admission: $20. 
The Chocolate Experience: $30 includes ticket + 1 handcrafted bar by Kristina Pescatore

To RSVP: Send payment via paypal to: maxwellribner@gmail.com
