Conductor David Robertson, of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and BBC Symphony Orchestra leads the San Francisco Symphony in a program of great contrasts. The evening begins with a bang, as Rossini's Overture to L'Italiana in Algeri starts things off. This widely recorded and performed piece opens slowly, leading up to a joyous burst of music. Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 follows, showing off the bold and colorful style of the composer's youthful pieces. Dvořák's Symphony No. 7 closes out the evening. This complex piece combines intense calm and peacefulness with moments of intense turmoil and is one of the works that best embodies the spirit of its composer. Learn More

Great holiday event. Loved that it was a youth orchestra and that they made the program "child-sized".Written on Dec 13 2010

The Youth Symphony Orchestra was fabulous. Eden Espinosa was excellent in moderating Peter and the Wolf. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The mixture of music was great and really demonstrated the talents of the entire group. It was inspiring to watch the conductor and see his passion of the music and the orchestra.Written on Dec 14 2010

I was so impressed with the SF Symphony Youth Orchestra - what talent!Written on Dec 14 2010
I enjoyed "Peter and the Wolf" with Eden Espinosa as well, but I didn't know that she was narrating the story and not singing. I was really looking forward to hearing her sing (I saw her in Wicked and Brooklyn). She was what I was most looking forward to, and I was a bit disappointed (the title of the event does not convey that she was narrating only).
