- $44.00 - $85.00
- Our Price:
- $22.00 - $42.50
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

Having visited the great new WALT DISNEY FAMILY MUSEUM, this concert was very specail! The orchestra, under the superb direction the lively Edwin Outwater, was at their best performing wonderful interretatons of several Disney film themes, Lisa Vroman was her usual spectacular self, looking gorgeous and singing beautifully, especially her version of WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR. The highlight of the evening was observing the many children who expressed their approval many times with excited, but polite, cheers!Written on Oct 19 2009

A great evening. Davies Hall is beautiful and classy. As far as the performance goes, I could have done without the operatic version of "Someday my Prince will come." Couldn't they have had a singer from one of the broadway musicals come over? Otherwise a nice evening.Written on Nov 18 2009

This was a great event. Amazing symphony, wonderful auditorium, cheerful conductor, familiar/heartwarming music. Plus, we got orchestra front-row tickets! Yes, front-row corner so it was a blessing and a curse, but it was still a rare opportunity to be so close.Written on Oct 19 2009
Four stars for the music and the bringing together of young and old. Sadly, minus one star for Lisa Vroman's vocal accompaniment. I did not purchase symphony tickets to hear someone butcher some of my most cherished childhood melodies (I didn't mind as much her butchering of "When You WIsh Upon A Star"). Sorry to be so harsh, she's a good singer, but I didn't think she was a good match for the event. But I don't think anyone less than Jodi Benson would have been a worthy vocalist, so perhaps my standards are too high. I just would have rather been able to focus on the MUSIC.
