Emerald City Music’s 11th season opens with a vibrant, festive evening of string music, bringing together Seattle and Olympia’s most celebrated string instrumentalists. Featuring works by Grażyna Bacewicz, Antonín Dvořák, and Béla Bartók, the program showcases the virtuosity and power brought through the different formations of the string instruments. At its core is Elliott Carter’s short but electrifying work for solo violin, a striking centerpiece that gives the program its name.
