Seattle, WA, United States

The Seattle Symphony performs at Benaroya Hall, a world-class concert venue in downtown Seattle that opened in 1998 and is acclaimed for its superb acoustics. Founded in 1903, the orchestra has experienced a remarkable artistic renaissance, winning multiple Grammy Awards for its adventurous recordings of works by contemporary and underrepresented composers. The SSO's commitment to new music and diverse programming has made it one of the most forward-thinking orchestras in America. Under a succession of dynamic music directors, the Seattle Symphony has transformed itself from a respected regional ensemble into an orchestra of genuine national significance.
