Enjoy a vibrant night of your favorite Spanish music when the San Francisco Symphony presents My Classic Spanish Flair with conductor Michael Francis and guitar great Pablo Sáinz Villegas. The program includes Concierto de Aranjuez, one of Juaquín Rodrigo's best-known works, which helped to establish his reputation as one of the most significant Spanish composers of the twentieth century. This lively, two-hour concert also includes Chabrier's Habanera, Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio espagnol, music from Bizet's Carmen and will conclude with Ravel's wildly popular Boléro.

San Francisco Symphony: Ravel and Gershwin

Full Price:
$51.00 - $83.00
Our Price:
SOLD OUT

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

Great for people who like Spanish sounding music, although only one composer was Spanish. Loved the Spanish guitar.
