May is the start of the home stretch for the classical music season. There are a number of notable concerts this week to investigate.
The Seattle Philharmonic ends their season tomorrow by performing Ralph Vaughan Williams Sixth Symphony and Sibelius’s Violin Concerto. As far as I know, this is the only performance of a RVW symphony in Seattle this season. Andre Previn was supposed to lead the Seattle Symphony in the Fifth, but because he canceled his residency with the SSO, the piece was shelved (May 3, 2009).
