McCready and Morlot talk music on Art Zone
There’s nothing quite like an artistic match up that doesn’t seem, on the surface, to match up. That’s why I love the concept of Sonic Evolution, an ongoing Seattle Symphony series where a Northwest musician/band is invited to create a new composition to be performed by the Seattle Symphony. Past participants include Sir Mix-a-Lot, Pickwick […]

Her response to his […]
