That's terrific that you were able to go. I've only been to Benaroya once, for a Baroque concert, and I thought it a good hall.
I've never heard any Hovhaness in Dutilleux, but I may not have been looking very hard.
Now that you have Daphnis et Chloe under your belt, allow me to recommend Le festin de l'araignee (The Spider's Feast) by Albert Roussel. Very much the same kind of thing, and quite interesting. (Roussel's later music goes off in different directions.)
