Wayfarer - Northwest Sinfonietta

About Northwest Sinfonietta: Founded in 1991 by harpsichordist Kathryn Habedank and conductor Christophe Chagnard, Northwest Sinfonietta is the premiere, professional chamber orchestra in the Puget Sound area. As an ensemble of 34 musicians, the Sinfonietta (meaning 'little symphony' in Italian) is smaller than a symphony orchestra and flexible in size, able to fit in any size 'chamber.' We draw from over 400 years of art music, and program a wide array of works with a focus on our role in our community and featuring new works and artists from marginalized parts of the music world.

Journey with us to musical landscapes with Wayfarer. We'll delve into Debussy's sun-drenched Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, ride interstellar waves in Nokuthula Ngwenyama's Primal Message, and travel to Italy with Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4, brimming with the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean. Michelle DeYoung, one of the world’s great mezzo-sopranos, gives voice to Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer—a stirring journey through love and loss.

Meeting: We will meet up at the entrance of the concert hall at 7:15.
