Well that's not something you see every Trombone Thursday, @johncdicesare! 😳📯 The cimbasso is known for its use in Verdi's opera scores, with a range similar to the tuba.

Hear it in action during our next Family Concert, streaming for free March 19 on Seattle Symphony Live.

Today we welcomed composer Paul Chihara to rehearsal for this week's world premiere of "Beyond the Hills." Inspired by the music that comforted him during his childhood in an Idaho internment camp, the work reflects Chihara's enduring hope in the face of adversity and fear.

Truly loving conducting @seattlesymphony They play the fiendishly difficult "City Noir" with blazing intensity, by turns seductive and violent. A big spike in virus infections plus a torrential rainstorm didn't dissuade a feisty audience from coming to the concert.

The SSOPO would like to thank Thomas Dausgaard for all of the memorable music making during his tenure as music director of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. We wish him the best in all of his future endeavors!
