David Afkham live in Seattle

Experience David Afkham live on April 29th

David Afkham will perform at Taper Auditorium in Seattle, Washington on April 29, 2027. Afkham is a German conductor recognized for his interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works, often noted for their clarity, emotional depth, and meticulous attention to detail. His conducting style frequently emphasizes a nuanced approach to phrasing and a collaborative relationship with the orchestra. He has gained prominence through work with leading international orchestras and opera houses.

Taper Auditorium resides within the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. Originally constructed in 1968 as part of the broader expansion of the university’s engineering facilities, it was named in recognition of Ben Taper, a significant benefactor to the University of Washington and a prominent figure in the Seattle business community. The auditorium is known for its acoustics which have been adapted over time to accommodate a range of performances beyond its initial function as a lecture hall; it now regularly hosts musical performances including chamber music and choral events. It has a capacity of approximately 250 seats and maintains a relatively intimate performance space.
