The Spokane Symphony is a powerhouse of splendid, classical music, and if you’ve lived in town long enough to catch a performance, you should consider yourself uber lucky. Ahead of its seventh Masterworks series performance, “1001 Nights,” locals can cherish wonderful music and peek behind the curtain to better understand how it all comes together. Before each Masterworks concert, Spokane Symphony Music Director James Lowe hosts his “The LoweDown” talk, offering an in-depth look at the historical context and modern relevance of works he’s conducting. With insight from an orchestra musician and a Q&A session to follow, guests leave as music-history buffs ready to see the symphony’s — and Lowe’s — hard work in action.
