This season, Seattle Symphony has celebrated the Tenth Anniversary of Seattle’s crown jewel, Benaroya Hall. This state-of-the-art facility opened on September 12, 1998, and has since successfully operated as one of the premiere venues for live symphonic music in the world, as well as a catalyst for downtown economic development, community building, education and culture in Seattle.
The 2008–2009 season is dedicated to Becky and Jack Benaroya who have been named Honorary Chairs of the entire season for their extraordinary contribution to the creation of Benaroya Hall. At the June 27 celebration, numerous individuals who were instrumental in the creation of the Hall will be honored. -- www.seattlesymphony.org
