Had a great time, it was a fun and light evening with some hilarity at the end during the encore. It was well worth the money (and the tickets were cheap too!).
This was "Mozart Lite", which is totally appropriate for a summer concert. I loved the young conductor, James Gaffigan. He added an encore (Eine Klene Nachmusik), which is Mozart at his schmaltziest, then added his own touch by leaving the conductor's podium and going to sit behind the orchestra as they continued to play flawlessly. Totally enjoyable evening.
Thoroughly enjoyed it; Jeremy Denk and SF Symphony were sensational and great to see many younsters attending. Have deserts at Citizen Cake after the show, less than 10 minutes walk; perfect way to spend an evening in the city.
