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

We loved the symphony. It does not matter where your seats are as the music is the star. My wife spent most of the time with her eyes shut just enjoying.Written on Jul 08 2011

It was wonderful. The venue was low on people, so we got even better seats to the music, could see the hands of the players, how far they move their bows, (all the way, if they are gd) and of course the music was all crowd pleasers.Written on Jul 05 2011

Description
Here are three intimate pieces that deliver big delights! Hear the extraordinary string section of the San Francisco Symphony perform Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik, or A Little Night Music, thought by some to be his most popular work. Dvorák’s lovely serenade is brimming with emotion, and Tchaikovsky demonstrates his usual big orchestral exuberance, but in a compact package.
Artists:
Alexander Barantschik, leader
San Francisco Symphony
Program:
Mozart: Eine kleine Nachtmusik
Dvorák: Serenade in E major for Strings
Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings
