Mozart's clarinet concerto and symphonies No 35 & 39

This is a Seattle Symphony concert. We will be meeting before the concert and during intermission on a Third Tier balcony. I have written a note about buying tickets and discounted tickets towards the end of this description.

Concert description:
Two prodigies, Mozart and Rossini, meet on this program, each of them writing brilliant music with almost unbelievable speed. Rossini's Italian Girl in Algiers (the whole opera!) was composed in less than a month and was a big hit. Its overture sets the scene for exotic locales, hilarity and dramatic love. Principal Clarinet Benjamin Lulich is our featured soloist in Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, some of the most sublime music ever written. When commissioned to write another symphony at a moment’s notice and “up to his eyeballs” in work, Mozart set to reworking his “Haffner” Serenade. The eventual result was this celebratory 35th Symphony, aka the Haffner Symphony, presented in this program. And alongside it, Mozart's 39th Symphony bubbles with dance-like rhythms and lightness.

Program:
Gioachino Rossini: Overture to The Italian Girl in Algiers
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Concerto
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385 "Haffner"
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 39

Tickets, buying and discounted:
I recommend buying tickets in a Third Tier box, for lesser price, good acoustics, and ease of meeting. You may need to call the Symphony box office, as Third Tier tickets may not be available online, 206-215-4747.
Being a member or employee in some organizations, such as the UWAA and King County, may provide a discount. You will need to contact the organization for the discount code. If you wish to buy tickets online, you can use the link below -- click on the Saturday May 2 date.
