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

I love good entertainment at a discount.
I love to go to the symphony.Written on Jul 25 2008
Goldstar was given better tickets this time.
For the last several performances I have attended, the symphony gave Goldstar the Second Tier tickets that are to the extreme left or right, even when many middle seat are left unsold.
That is disappointing.

The seats were wonderful -- we were in center orchestra only 20 seats from the stage. The pianist and of course the SF Symphony were in fine form and the selections wonderful. Altogether a great evening at a reasonable price!Written on Jul 25 2008
