Don’t miss this! The Seattle Symphony will perform a free community concert at City Hall, 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 25. Ludovic Morlot, the symphony’s new music director, will lead the orchestra in a program featuring Weber’s Overture to Der Freischütz and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. Mayor Mike McGinn will welcome the symphony and concert attendees to City Hall.

Following the concert at 1:30 p.m., attend a post-performance reception in City Hall’s Bertha Knight Landes Room, where Morlot will share programming highlights from the symphony’s upcoming 2012-2013 season.
