Saturday, Oct. 15: Northest Sinfonietta

Rialto Theater

By Ron Swarner on October 15, 2011

The Northwest Sinfonietta bills itself as an "orchestra of passion, vision, thrill, and creation - an orchestra that awakens the musical spirit in all of us, performing to sold-out crowds of youngsters, hipsters, and connoisseurs alike." You see that? They're talking to you, hipsters. Saturday, the Sinfonietta delves into Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 at the Rialto Theater, inviting pianist John Novacek into the mix and letting the magic happen. The concert will also feature works from Wagner and Fauré.

[Rialto Theater, 7:30 p.m., $19-$49, 901 Broadway, Tacoma, 253.591.5890]
