The performances of Langgaard's Prelude to Antichrist were sponsored by Seattle Symphony 2018 GiveBIG supporters. Thomas Dausgaard's performances on April 4, 6 and 7, 2019 received additional support from the Scan|Design Foundation by Inger & Jens Bruun. His performances on June 15 and 17, 2017 were generously underwritten by Leona Pazina and Susan Pazina, in memory of Robert Pazina, through the Seattle Symphony's Guest Artists Circle. The credits indicate that: - The second assistant concertmaster acted as concertmaster on Strauss. - The associate principal flute acted as principal flute on Strauss. - The assistant principal timpani acted as principal timpani on Strauss. - Matthew Decker acted as concertmaster on Strauss. Presumably this was intended to mean principal percussion. James Holt received a photography credit in the booklet, but none of the individual photos in the booklet are attributed to James Holt.
