Seattle Symphony: "Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream"

We will be meeting before the concert and during intermission on a Third Tier balcony. I have written notes about buying tickets and discounted tickets towards the end of this description. **Concert description (from the Symphony):** William Shakespeare and Felix Mendelssohn provide the perfect fusion of language and music in *A Midsummer Night’s Dream*. A particularly famous part of this score includes Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March,” which has heralded the marriage of countless couples, though this exuberant Romantic work deserves to be heard in its fuller context. A small cast of singers and actors join the orchestra onstage to bring this famous comedy to life, from the mischievous Puck and elegant fairy court to the bewildered human lovers and fools! The orchestra also performs Mendelssohn’s beautiful Three Motets for upper voices, inspired by the nuns of Rome’s Trinità dei Monti. It's an all Mendelssohn program this evening: *The Fair Melusine* *Three Motets, Op. 39 (arr. McGegan)* *A Midsummer Night's Dream* **Buying tickets:** I recommend buying tickets in a Third Tier box, for lesser price and good acoustics. You may need to call the Symphony box office, as Third Tier tickets may not be available online, 206-215-4747. You can use the link below to buy tickets online.
