Xian Zhang live in Seattle

Experience Xian Zhang live on February 11th

Xian Zhang will conduct a concert at Benaroya Hall’s Taper Auditorium in Seattle, Washington on February 11, 2027. Zhang is a highly regarded conductor known for her dynamic interpretations of both standard orchestral repertoire and lesser-known works. Her musical style is frequently described as possessing both power and nuance, with a particular strength in conveying dramatic narratives through performance. She often champions works by female composers and brings a fresh perspective to established classics.

Taper Auditorium resides within Benaroya Hall, which opened in 1998 and serves as the permanent home of the Seattle Symphony. The hall was designed by LMN Architects and acoustician Russell Johnson, specifically to address the shortcomings of previous venues used by the orchestra. Taper Auditorium, named for its gently sloping shape, is renowned for its excellent acoustics and intimate setting – seating approximately 2,500 people. It’s considered one of the finest concert halls in the United States, prioritizing clarity and warmth of sound for both performers and audience members. The hall regularly hosts a diverse range of musical performances beyond the Seattle Symphony's own concerts.
