David Robertson conducts the San Francisco Symphony in a program of 20th-century classics, featuring guest pianist Marc-André Hamelin in a unique Maurice Ravel concerto. George Gershwin's famous Rhapsody in Blue is one of the most popular American classical works, and possibly the greatest fusion of orchestral and jazz influences ever written. The concert features Maurice Ravel's La Valse, an homage to Viennese waltz filled with dark undertones reflecting the chaos of post-World War I Europe. Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand was also influenced by the Great war -- it was originally written for Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm during World War I. Elliott Carter's powerful Variations for Orchestra, another 20th-century masterwork, opens the program. Arrive an hour early to hear conductor David Robertson in conversation with San Francisco Symphony Artistic Planning Director John Mangum. Learn More

Written on Jul 21 2012Three of us had a marvelous time. Hall is close to BART, plenty of choice in nearby eating places.
We had the advntage of perfect weather for the walk from BART. The music was grand! We even had entertainment in the lobby 45 minutes before the concert. We danced! Memorable evening!

Written on Jul 20 2012The first half was better than the second half.
The clarinet performance in the Appalachian Spring and the piano playing in Rhapsody in Blue were spectacular.

Written on Jul 20 2012The music was wonderful and the seats great! We went downstairs to check out the "expensive seats" and our seats were better!
