The acclaimed choral group Chicago a cappella salutes what would've been the 100th birthday of Max Janowski, the distinguished composer of Jewish liturgical music, with a concert featuring new arrangements of his works. Janowski was the much-beloved music director at Hyde Park's KAM Isaiah Israel Congregation -- Chicago's oldest -- for more than 50 years, and is famed for his soaring musical versions of traditional prayers like the Sh'ma, Sim Shalom, Mi Chamocha, Unataneh Tokef and more, along with folk songs and spirituals. Chicago a cappella's artistic director Jonathan Miller leads a post-concert chat following the performance.

SF Symphony: Barantschik and Vinocour Play Britten's Double Concerto

Full Price:: $34.00 - $92.00
Our Price:: $10.00

The San Francisco Symphony, under the baton of conductor Kirill Karabits, spotlights violinist Alexander Barantschik and violist Jonathan Vinocour for a performance of Benjamin Britten's Double Concerto. Written as a tribute for Britten's composition teacher when the composer was just 18, the Double Concerto is a challenging piece that requires immense technical skill on both the violin and viola. Its youthful vigor is sure to challenge the virtuosity of the Symphony's Concertmaster and Principal Violist. The program also features Honegger's Pacific 231 and Sibelius' Symphony No. 2.
