Worlds We Create – Rainbow City Performing Arts

Description

Join in the joy as Rainbow City explores the community and creativity of music inspired by film, literature, and theater. This is the third season Rainbow City has performed at Benaroya Hall and our 27th season overall. At our three concerts each season, we present both our concert band and our orchestra who split the show, letting you experience a broad array of sounds and styles presented by two of our dynamic artistic directors, Timothy Norris and Dr. Christopher T.F. Hanson. We're eager to welcome two of our chamber ensembles to perform in the lobby before the show and during intermission. Come early and enjoy a drink or a snack and claim your chosen seats. Flûtrange, our flute choir and oldest chamber ensemble, has performed at venues as various as the Seattle Flute Festival, the 5th Ave Theatre, and caroling on street corners. Their warm welcome to all skill levels has been a refuge for many and their performance continues to inspire. Seattle String Chorus, one of our newest chamber groups, finds inspiration in performing choral works rearranged for strings. This flexibility allows for a focus on balance and beauty of the sound while welcoming any string players to join for a new way to perform and spread heart and soul in our community. We continue to welcome new members to join our ensembles, and we'll be eager to present our largest concert band and orchestra yet presented. You'll marvel at the beauty that so many musicians can muster as one with nearly 200 members of our community performing through the evening. We're excited to welcome two community partners, XXXX and XXXX who will be tabling in our lobby so you can learn more about their great work and how they help make our community stronger. Transportation to Benaroya Hall is easy with a parking garage directly below the building, or you can skip the traffic and arrive by bus or light rail (Symphony Station). We are always seeking to remove barriers to experiencing music, so for the second year we will be offering free access tickets by request to our performances thanks to a generous grant from 4culture.
