Just got an email about this Seattle Symphony sale, and for some reason, I keep picturing conductor Ludovic Morlot holding orchestra tickets in one hand and a ShamWow in the other and shouting "We’re slashing prices!" with a French accent. I think I’m tired.

Anyway, all orchestra seats (usually $40–$80, roughly) have been marked down to $25 for these shows, now through March 22. Click on the links below or call 206-215-4747 to buy tickets.
