Hugh Wolff live in Seattle

Experience Hugh Wolff live on March 18th

Hugh Wolff will conduct a concert at Taper Auditorium in Seattle on March 18, 2027. Wolff is recognized for his interpretations of both standard repertoire and contemporary works, often emphasizing clarity of texture and structural understanding. His conducting style is frequently described as lyrical and insightful, with a particular affinity for composers like Mahler, Copland, and Bernstein. Throughout his career, he has held positions with prominent orchestras internationally, including serving as Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1985-1995.

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 overall Allen Center complex, it was named in recognition of Ben Taper, a significant benefactor to the University of Washington’s engineering programs. The auditorium has a capacity of approximately 300 seats and is utilized for a variety of events beyond musical performances, including lectures and presentations. Its acoustics have been noted as well-suited for chamber music and smaller orchestral ensembles due to its relatively intimate size and design. The space has undergone periodic updates to its technical capabilities while maintaining much of its original architectural character.
