The Seattle Symphony performs Grieg's "Peer Gynt" as part of the Nature In Music Festival, with conductor Xian Zhang and violinist Helen Kim leading the way through one of classical music's most vivid orchestral storytellings. If you want to hear how a composer turns a wild Norwegian landscape into sound, this is it—happening at Benaroya Hall downtown on April 8th.

Recurs: April 8 & 10, 2027

Lineup

Xian Zhang
“Zhang has an exceptional ear for balance, as well as the ability to draw the softest, most transparent tones imaginable from the orchestra. …With such skills and obvious audience appeal, Zhang should prove a valuable addition to the Met’s conducting staff.” 2025/26 marks the GRAMMY® and Emmy Award-winning conductor Xian Zhang’s tenth season as Music Director of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.
