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

This event was a delight from start to finish! It was the first time we had the pleasure to see the young, highly spirited and very capable James Gaffigan conduct. Wow! is all I can say! We will look forward to his upcoming face on the world symphony screen.Written on Jul 10 2009
Jeremy Denk is a master who didn't miss a beat and blended seamlessly with our accomplished symphony.
What can you add enthusiastically enough to fault Beethoven's 5th?? A masterpiece.
Thanks Goldstar! Michelle Klurstein
