Brahms's great Requiem fuses immediacy of expression with a timeless message. It is not so much a memorial as a work that reminds the living of what life offers to those who engage with it. Don't miss this chance to experience the depths of Brahms' music, as performed by the San Francisco Symphony under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas. Soloists: soprano Laura Claycomb, baritone Matthias Goerne.

About Davies Symphony Hall:

Completed in September, 1980 after more than two years of construction, Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall is the home of the San Francisco Symphony.

During the summer of 1992, Davies Symphony Hall underwent a major renovation, enhancing its acoustics to ensure an even better musical experience, and making an already stunning interior more beautiful still.

The San Francisco Symphony's home owes its name to the efforts and perseverance of Mrs. Louise M. Davies, the largest individual contributor to the building.
