| Found in | Symphony (Seattle, Wash.). Symphony, Mar. 1970, surrogate: t.p. (Seattle Symphony Orchestra) Hanson, H. Symphony no. 1 in E minor [SR] p1989: label (Seattle Symphony) Seattle Symphony website, April 29, 2013: home page (Seattle Symphony; © Seattle Symphony Orchestra) <http://www.seattlesymphony.org/> Wikipedia, April 29, 2013 (Seattle Symphony; American orchestra based in Seattle, Washington; orchestra gave its first performance on December 29, 1903, with Harry West conducting. Known from its founding as the Seattle Symphony, it was renamed in 1911 as the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1919, the orchestra was reorganized with new bylaws under the name Seattle Symphony Orchestra; in 1947, the Seattle Symphony merged with the Tacoma Philharmonic to form the Pacific Northwest Symphony Orchestra [no publs. in OCLC]. Performances were held in Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia, with conducting duties split between Carl Bricken and Eugene Linden. This arrangement ceased after one season, when the Seattle Symphony decided to withdraw from it; a feud between the musicians and the board surfaced in 1948, and a majority of the musicians divorced themselves from the board and created a new orchestra called the Seattle Orchestra; an accommodation was reached between the Seattle Symphony and the Seattle Orchestra, and the two organizations merged, and the name "Seattle Symphony Orchestra" was retained; even so, for most of its 100-year history, and especially today, the ensemble is known by the two-word name "Seattle Symphony") AllMusic website, December 28, 2015 (Seattle Symphony Orchestra; founded in 1903, its first concert taking place December 29 that year at Christensen's Hall; in 1911 orchestra was renamed the Seattle Philharmonic and given a new concert venue, the Metropolitan Theatre; reorganized in 1919, reverting to its original name of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra; in the early 1990s, the SSO received a string of Grammy nominations) |
