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

I'm assuming the event was great. Unfortunately, we were stuck in traffic for over an hour just trying to get off of the freeway due to the LGBT Pride parade shutting down the streets around Civic Center, which is precisely where we needed to be. After finally getting through it all, all the parking was taken (thanks to the parade) making it impossible to even pull over anywhere near Davies. My wife and I decided it wasn't worth showing up halfway through the performance when they probably wouldn't have sat us until the particular movement was over anyway. We cut our losses, went shopping, and had a nice dinner.Written on Jun 27 2011

We attended the matinee and it was a Sunday afternoon. It was so relaxing and calming. Full 120+ choir accompanied the lead singers. The orchestra was wonderfully conducted by MTT and it was a most enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.Written on Jun 27 2011
