Former music director Edo de Waart returns to perform with the San Francisco Symphony for the first time since 1997. The evening begins with an introduction to the music of Franz Schreker, an Austrian opera composer whose music combines the stylistic traits of several artistic movements and whose immersive scores are cinematic in their ability to draw the listener into the story. This innovative and once-obscure composer has seen a revival in popularity in recent years. The program also includes Rachmaninoff's sophisticated and modern Fourth Piano Concerto and the thundering Organ Symphony of Camille Saint-Saëns, his last and most dramatic symphonic work. Learn More

It was'nt GREAT. Michael is much better on Broadway or alone with his piano. Not that the Band was'nt good. It was. Just to loud for Michaels voice. Would have liked to hear Michael alone with his piano and the Band by itself.Written on May 11 2009

This was truly one of the finest evenings of music I have experienced in several years. The setting was perfect, the musical arrangments by Bill Elliott were out of this world. For anyone not in attendance, Michael is not to be missed at any cost.Written on May 11 2009

This very talented showman knows how to 'work the crowd' with his often boyish humor and clever reapport, but what keeps everyone in love is his great talents - vocally and as a pianist! Working with magnificent Sinatra arrangements, Michael was able to bring back memories of the original versions and keep those favorites popular.Working with a very talent group of musicicians and an energetic conductor, making a great team on stage. It was nice to see so many young and older enjoying this performance. It was espeically nice to hear his reflections of San Francisco, where he got his start.Written on May 11 2009

Michael is a consumate entertainer. His singing was delightful and so were his stories about each song. He certainly knew his history of Sinatra's relationship to each song. Also, hearing about his own personal relationship with Sinatra was very sweet. The musicians were excellent and he took great care to see that they were constantly acknowledged. His passion for the material was evident.Written on May 11 2009

Quotes & Highlights
- “There is no one on this earth who has expanded, exposed and embraced the American songbook as passionately.” --The New York Times
Description
<p>A leading connoisseur of the Great American Songbook, singer Michael Feinstein has blazed a brilliant career sleuthing out forgotten treasures by the likes of the Gershwins, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, then delivering them in dramatic, polished performances. His latest album, The Sinatra Project, is a tribute not only to Ol’ Blue Eyes, but to arrangers Nelson Riddle and Billy May. Recorded live in the same studio as Sinatra’s classic Capitol Records-era hits like Come Fly With Me and Only the Lonely, the album features new arrangements of classic songs—plus two undiscovered tunes Sinatra never got around to recording. Celebrating his 25th anniversary as a performer, Feinstein brings this vibrant project to life with a blazing big band and his own inimitable panache.</p>
