Outdoor-music season is on! Good turnout for the first of two West Seattle performances today by the trio traveling with the Seattle Chamber Music Society‘s Concert Truck. The crowd filled much of the green east of Alki Beach Bathhouse under the noontime sunshine.

Here’s the full program played this afternoon and scheduled to be repeated tonight. We recorded a longer clip (apologies that one musician is out of view in it) from a work by Fanny Mendelssohn:

This evening’s concert is at 5 pm at the Seattle Chinese Garden on the north end of the South Seattle College (WSB sponsor) on Puget Ridge, 6000 16th SW, also free of charge, lasting about an hour (bring your own chair/blanket).

What a treat to hear these very talented musicians playing a free concert on such a beautiful day on Alki. Two are familiar faces from the Seattle Symphony. I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity at the Chinese Garden tonight.

Thanks for publicizing these. They said the audience at the Chinese Garden today was the largest ever for that venue. Nice turn out thanks to the WS Blog!
