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

Excellent performances by all involved, but only the Mozart really seemed like important music to us. We might have enjoyed the evening more, had the venue not assigned us the worst possible seats in the comparatively high-priced catagory.Written on Mar 31 2008

A wonderfully varied concert spanning three centuries of music. Steven Stucky's ebullient curtain-raiser and Mozart's delightful piano concerto were a great contrast to Nielsen's passionate and exquisite Symphony No. 2. A real treat!Written on Mar 27 2008

Alan Gilbert, conductor

Steven Stucky: "Son et lumière"

Stucky’s "Son et lumière" is quirky and adventurous. Thoughtful, elegant, and impassioned, Goode is the ideal pianist for Mozart. Nielsen’s symphony is nonstop fun: The temperaments depicted are those of a great composer on a very good day. Alan Gilbert, Music Director Designate of the New York Philharmonic, conducts.
