On March 16 the Seattle Symphony held a reception at New York City’s PACE Gallery to
celebrate the orchestra’s May 6 appearance at Carnegie Hall. The performance, part of
the Spring For Music festival, included the New York premiere of John Luther Adams’
Pulitzer Prize–winning composition, Become Ocean. The piece was commissioned by
the Seattle Symphony with the generous support of Brian and Lynn Grant, and was
premiered by the orchestra in June 2013.
The PACE Gallery event was also an opportunity for Music Director Ludovic Morlot
and Executive Director Simon Woods to talk about the Symphony’s latest venture: its
own record label. The first three releases on Seattle Symphony Media feature works
by French and American composers, a nod to the dynamic, flourishing collaboration
between the Seattle Symphony and Morlot, now in his third season as Music Director.
