Tonight the Biava Quartet continues Joshua Roman’s Town Music series at Seattle’s Town Hall.  On the program – Grieg, Janacek, and Mozart.

Thursday, the Seattle Symphony plays Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Sibelius under the baton of Vasilly Sinaisky with pianist Evgeny Sudbin.  Sudbin made his Seattle debut last year as part of the University of Washington President’s Piano Series.

Baroque Northwest plays Friday at Trinity Parish Church.  Turkey, African, and Iberian Renaissance music is scheduled for the evening.

local pianist Judith Cohen plays with Dean Williamson on Friday in a program of music for piano four hands as well as Scarlatti, Schulhoff (a favorite composer of mine), and Ginastera.

Aaron Jay Kernis is in town to guest conduct the Bellevue Phil this Saturday and Sunday.  The composer’s popular Musica Celestis and Kevin Puts’s Marimba Concerto are both on the program.  Kernis was in town last year with the Seattle Youth Symphony and the Seattle Symphony premiere a new work by the composer in 2009.

Sunday, Philharmonia Northwest plays the Don Giovanni overture, Dvorak’s popular Cello Concerto, and Papa Haydn’s Symphony No. 83.  I’ve never heard this orchestra before, but those who have like it.  I intend to get out to hear them play sometime in the near future.
