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

Sara Davis, the soloist on Beethoven's Piano Concerto 5- Emperor was amazing and got a standing O. She'll be playing the piece on SF Symphony day at Stern Grove, July 24th @ 2PM. For those of you who don't know, all Stern Grove shows are free to the public in an outdoor amphitheater.Written on Jul 11 2011

San Francisco Symphony
Beethoven: Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor
Beethoven: Symphony No. 5
Does any composer say “classic” more than Beethoven, or any piece more so than his mighty Fifth Symphony? This program of definitive Beethoven is anchored by the symphony whose opening phrases are among the most recognizable in the entire musical universe. Sara Davis Buechner, who made an electric appearance last summer, returns to perform the magnificent Emperor Concerto, given its sobriquet for its aural majesty.
