Visual Arts
As a co-leader of Seattle Baroque, he approaches pre-1800 music on period instruments with a lively, even idiosyncratic freedom—the spirit of improvisation informs whatever he plays. Lately, he's been expanding his outlook historically, from Brahms (in an August piano recital) to Bun-Ching Lam (a world premiere with flutist Paul Taub coming up Sunday, Oct. 30). But next he'll play Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, and Telemann, in a half- harpsichord, half-piano recital. Tues., Sept. 20. Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave., 206-652-4255, www.townhallseattle.org.
Anyone who's heard Philip Glass' scores for the Qatsi film trilogy knows how well his music can evoke a sense of vast space, so he was an astute choice for a work honoring the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expeditions. For the NWCO's opening concert, music director Ralf Gothoni has chosen this work (Glass' Piano Concerto No. 2) with its three movements titled "The Vision," "Sacagawea" (featuring Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai), and "The Land." Sun., Sept. 25. Benaroya Recital Hall, 200 University St., 206-343-0445, www.nwco.org.
Seattle Opera
The follow-up to Jake Heggie's freshman operatic effort (the controversial Dead Man Walking) is his adaptation of The End of the Affair, Graham Greene's 1951 novel of passion, faith, and sacrifice during wartime. It premiered last season in Houston, but Seattle Opera is presenting a revised version of a work of "chromatic yearning and mellifluous lyricism" by one of today's busiest and most popular vocal composers. Various days, Oct. 15–29. McCaw Hall, Seattle Center, 206-389-7676, www.seattleopera.org.
UW Opera
With over 70 productions and a sheaf of orgasmic reviews comparing it favorably to Mozart, Strauss, Falstaff, and Gianni Schicchi, Kirke Mechem's 1980 Tartuffe will be this fall's second major local production of a contemporary opera. Claudia Zahn, who knows from comedy, is directing this version of Molière's classic skewering of hypocrisy. At 80, Mechem is not slowing down, with premieres of The Newport Rivals and John Brown slated for coming seasons, and Pride and Prejudice on his worktable. Various days, Nov. 4–13. Meany Hall, UW campus, 206-543-4880, www.music.washington.edu.
