Classical Seattle

Maestros, Impresarios, Virtuosi, and Other Music Makers

By: Melinda Bargreen

The past 50 years have seen a tremendous arts boom in Seattle, which has given the city not only internationally recognized classical music institutions but also great performance halls to showcase their work and that of visiting artists. From Igor Stravinsky’s presence as guest conductor at the World’s Fair in 1962, to Speight Jenkins’s masterly production of Wagner’s Ring cycle, to the work of benefactors such as Jack and Becky Benaroya, Seattle is deservingly well known as a city of the musical arts. In Classical Seattle, Melinda Bargreen documents the lives of prominent figures in the local classical music world. Informed by Bargreen’s experience as a music critic and drawing on interviews she conducted over several decades, the 35 biographical profiles presented here illuminate the conductors, performing artists, composers, arts organizers, and arts leaders who have shaped Seattle’s classical music community and made world-class performances possible. Among the individuals featured are University of Washington virtuosi, Seattle Symphony maestros and musicians, and Seattle Opera directors. Classical Seattle was made possible in part by a grant from 4Culture's Heritage Program.

Women in Music

A Research and Information Guide

By: Karin Pendle,Melinda Boyd

Women in Music: A Research and Information Guide is an annotated bibliography emerging from more than twenty-five years of feminist scholarship on music. This book testifies to the great variety of subjects and approaches represented in over two decades of published writings on women, their work, and the important roles that feminist outlooks have played in formerly male-oriented academic scholarship or journalistic musings on women and music.

Fifty Years of Seattle Opera

By: Melinda Bargreen,Seattle Opera

This beautiful book offers a treasure trove of rare photos plus the vivid narration of Melinda Bargreen, who covered Seattle Opera for The Seattle Times for close to 40 of the company's 50 years. Bargreen's compelling chronicle begins with the pioneering days of opera in Seattle and covers the power struggles at Seattle Opera's inception; details founding General Director Glynn Ross's friendships with superstars Joan Sutherland and Beverly Sills, and his pie-in-the-sky idea of presenting Wagner's Ring in Seattle; follows Speight Jenkins from his first Seattle appearance (as a speaker on the Ring) to the triumph of operatic glasnost he engineered when Seattle Opera gave War and Peace for the 1990 Goodwill Games, to the creation of McCaw Hall. The book features a "Who's Who" of more than 50 key players including Marion Oliver McCaw, Henry Holt, Archie Drake, Perry Lorenzo, Vinson Cole, Jane Eaglen, Greer Grimsley, and many others.
