Ticket packages have been combined if they are identical save for the day of the week. For example, 7C and 7D are the same concerts; the only difference is that 7C is for Thursday nights, while 7D is for Saturday nights.<\/p>\n<p>Notes and changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <i>Symphony Untuxed<\/i> series has been revived.<\/li>\n<li>The <i>Playlist Series<\/i> has been cancelled. I suspect it was poorly-attended.<\/li>\n<li>The <i>Seattle Symphony+<\/i> online streaming series is no longer being promoted.<\/li>\n<li>The 7A\/7B, 7C\/7D, and 7E\/7F concert series do not overlap, so you can create your own pseudo-series by taking any two of them, or recreate the 21-concert series by taking all three.<\/li>\n<li>The 13-concert series is the same as the 7C\/7D and 7E\/7F series combined, minus the May 1 concert.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/seattlesymphony.org\/concerttickets\/special-offers\/family-connections\"> <i>Family Connections<\/i><\/a> program provides free symphony tickets for up to two children with the purchase of an adult ticket.<\/li>\n<li>The Seattle Symphony is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattlesymphony.org\/concerttickets\/special-offers\/teen-tix\"> TeenTix<\/a> program which offers teenagers (ages 13 through 19) $5 day-of-show tickets for selected concerts. TeenTix members can also buy up to two $10 tickets for Sunday concerts for non-teenage friends and family.<\/li>\n<li>This year celebrates the 150th birthday of Maurice Ravel with works featured on four regular season concerts.<\/li>\n<li>Pianist Khatia Buniatishvili joins the Seattle Symphony on Opening Night, perform Gerschwin&#8217;s <i>Rhapsody in Blue<\/i> which turned 100 years old this year. Buniatishvili had been scheduled to be the artist in residence for the abandoned 2020-2021 season.<\/li>\n<li>Notable other guests include violinist Itzhak Perlman in recital, cellist Yo-Yo Ma performing the Elgar Cello Concerto in a special concert, and regular season concerts with violinists Midori (Brahms Violin Concerto) and Hilary Hahn (Beethoven Violin Concerto).<\/li>\n<li>The Seattle Symphony is doing a lot of multimedia concerts this year: Movies <i>Fantasia<\/i>, <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)<\/i>, <i>Home Alone<\/i>, <i>Black Panther<\/i>, <i>La La Land<\/i>, and <i>Frozen<\/i>. And space imagery to accompany <i>The Planets<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li>A Hallowe&#8217;en-themed double-feature of <i>Bride of Frankenstein<\/i> (with orchestra) and <i>Young Frankenstein<\/i> (no orchestra).<\/li>\n<li>Over the years, the format of the Seattle Symphony official brochure has gradually gotten closer and closer to the format of this pocket guide.
