SEATTLE SYMPHONY BRINGS NEW STREAMS FOR KIDS WITH TINY CLIPS FOR TINY TOTS: BRASS AND MEET THE INSTRUMENT: HORN, ALONGSIDE A REBROADCAST OF YOU HAD ME AT CELLO IN COLLABORATION WITH TOWN HALL

Seattle, WA – The Seattle Symphony brings new programming for children with Tiny Clips for Tiny Tots: Brass as part of six performances scheduled for free streaming this week. Tiny Clips for Tiny Tots joins Meet the Instrument: Horn with Danielle Kuhlmann and a rebroadcast of You Had Me At Cello, a cello ensemble performance curated by cellist Joshua Roman. The rebroadcast concert features Seattle Symphony cellists and was originally performed in September 2019. As announced earlier this month, the Seattle Symphony will continue sharing performances that provide strength, comfort and joy through video rebroadcasts and livestreams to support our community as we confront the current global health crisis.

Meet the Instrument: Horn features Seattle Symphony horn Danielle Kuhlmann, who will introduce our youngest audiences and their families to the French horn in a fun musical exploration. The Meet the Instrument series launched last week with Meet the Tuba to provide more video streams for families with young children at home during this period of school closures. Meet the Instrument: Horn will air on Wednesday, April 1, at 11 a.m. PDT and Friday, April 3, at 11 a.m. PDT; viewers can tune in on YouTube and Facebook.

To further expand the Symphony’s educational programming, an all-new Tiny Clips for Tiny Tots: Brass will be introduced to viewers on Saturday, April 4, at 10:30 a.m. PDT. Seattle Symphony horn John Turman hosts a kid-friendly brass quintet performance by members of the orchestra. The Tiny Clips for Tiny Tots series is modeled after the Symphony’s Tiny Tots Concerts, which are offered regularly throughout the season to families with young children.

The Seattle Symphony continues scheduled streams of past concerts this week with You Had Me At Cello, a cello ensemble concert originally performed at Town Hall Seattle’s September 2019 Homecoming Festival. Curated by Joshua Roman, the Artistic Director of the Town Hall Music Series and former Seattle Symphony Principal Cello, the performance blends traditional cello ensemble with ambitious experimentation through arrangements for cello duets to quintets. This rebroadcast features Seattle Symphony cellists Principal Efe Baltacıgil, Associate Principal Meeka Quan DiLorenzo and Eric Han, as well as cellist Charles Jacot. Audiences can tune in for any of the of three performance broadcasts this week on Thursday (7:30 p.m. PDT), Saturday (8:30 p.m. PDT) and Sunday (4 p.m. PDT).

The Seattle Symphony will continue to organize additional free livestreams and rebroadcasts until the orchestra can return to the Benaroya Hall stage. Rebroadcasts or livestreams will occur every week through May, and programming updates will be shared at seattlesymphony.org/live. Those interested can also sign up to receive email notifications about upcoming Seattle Symphony rebroadcasts and livestreams.. Audiences can view performances on YouTube and Facebook.
Inspired by the orchestra’s dedication to serving the community, Seattle Symphony Board member Stephen Whyte has generously pledged to match all donations, dollar-for-dollar throughout Benaroya Hall’s closure.
