Music in the Museum

Violinist Ilana Zaks

Thursday, June 4th at 6:00 p.m.

Ilana Zaks has played at Carnegie Hall, the Concertgebouw and the Berlin Philharmonie, and soloed with more than a dozen orchestras around the US.  Last year Ilana left the Seattle Symphony and now plays regularly with the Atlanta Symphony and taught at Tanglewood last summer.  She graduated from the New England Conservatory and Yale School of Music. 

Ilana truly electrified us when she played at Cascadia in 2025.  We must have made an impression on her too because she’s returning briefly to Seattle, contacted us and graciously requested to play again at Cascadia — including some of the most wild fireworks for the violin, music by Bach, Kreisler and other masterpieces.  Ilana is one of the top young violinists in the country.  Lucky us!  We can’t quite believe she’s coming back!

Cascadia’s concert series is a unique opportunity to enjoy leading classical performers up close, in our intimate gallery setting surrounded by beautiful art from the Northwest – the way chamber music was meant to be experienced!  

Your ticket includes admission to all the museum galleries, so make sure you come early to see our current exhibits. Doors open at 5:15 p.m. for early museum viewing. Our concerts are about one-hour in length starting at 6 PM, leaving you time to dine out after — altogether a perfect evening. Please note that this concert is on a Thursday evening.

Seating is limited and these concerts often sell-out, so please we suggest reserving your seats well in advance.

$16 for Museum Members
$22 for Non-Members
