My wealth. My priorities. My partner.
You’ve spent your life accumulating wealth. And, no doubt, that wealth now takes many forms, sits in many places, and is managed by many advisors. Unfortunately, that kind of fragmentation creates gaps that can hold your wealth back from its full potential. The Private Bank can help.
The Private Bank uses a proprietary approach called the LIFE Wealth Cycle SM to ind those gaps—and help you achieve what is important to you.

6 SEATTLESYMPHONY.ORG ■ JOHN TURMAN Horn Photo: James Holt James Photo:
Growing up in Austin, John Turman loved two things: playing the horn and producing videos. But he discovered both almost by accident: horn during an instrument petting zoo in fifth grade and video while working on a project for his high school English class.
“When I started college, I was going to double major in film and performance,” says Turman. “But my teacher warned me that I only had a small window to win a job, so film took the back burner until I won the position with the Seattle Symphony.”
After joining the orchestra in 2015, Turman found a new creative outlet: producing music videos with the other members of the horn section. Today he is a one-man production team, arranging the music, recording the performance, mixing the sound and editing the final video.
“What I love most is inspiring other young horn players to get excited about the instrument, our section, the symphony and the music,” says Turman. “And I love showing off my colleagues: we have an amazing section and I want everyone to hear them.”
To watch Turman’s arrangements and videos, visit facebook.com/seattlesymphonyhorns. For more on the Seattle Symphony, visit seattlesymphony.org/stories.

Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13 in A minor is performed less often than No. 2 and some of the others, but it has all the characteristics of the genre. Based on the Hungarian minor scale (a b c d# e f g# a) it unfolds in a relatively unstructured, stream-of-consciousness sort of dream- like form. The opening moments are contemplative, short motives embellished with no narrative coherence but referencing the Roma idiom consistently. Suddenly, an energetic series of fast dance music builds with octave runs, finger-challenging passage work and repeated-note sequences.
