Some music feels like a hand reaching back.
EMBRACE turns Kaleidoscope toward the people beside us: the partners, friends, mentors, and quiet companions who change the way we hear the world. Peggy Glanville-Hicks’ Sinfonia Pacifica opens with color, movement, and a sound world shaped by travel and imagination. Seattle Symphony musicians Helen Kim and Katie Liu join Olympia Symphony for Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante, a radiant conversation between violin and viola. Then Elgar’s Enigma Variations brings the concert to a deeply human close, with musical portraits of the friends who helped him find his voice.
