The San Francisco Symphony and Chorus present A Summer Celebration, a star-studded concert with an eclectic program and several exciting guests. Conducted by San Francisco Symphony music director Michael Tilson Thomas and San Francisco Symphony Chorus director Ragnar Bohlin, the concert begins with Ligeti's Lux Aeterna, made famous by 2001: A Space Odyssey. Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet joins the Symphony to play excerpts from Ravel's jazzy Piano Concerto in G major, and Avery Fisher Prize-winning violinist Gil Shaham makes an appearance, playing the last movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. This delightful program also includes the fourth movement of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 and excerpts from Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, making for a full evening of sparkling symphonic music.

Description
Symphony Parnassus invites you to join them in a celebration of the season with a program that reflects the festive spirit of the holidays.
The concert will begin with Respighi's Trittico Botticelliano, which pays tribute to a triptych of Botticelli’s most famous works: La Primivera (Spring), L'adorazione die Magi (The Adoration of the Magi) and La Nascita di Venere (The Birth of Venus).
Karl Jenkins is reputed to be the most performed living composer in the world and it is easy to see why: his music has immediate, visceral appeal. His magnificent work, In These Stones Horizons Sing, is a celebratory piece, written for a festive occasion. Symphony Parnassus is pleased to be joined for this performance by the captivating Viva la Musica! choir.
San Francisco assistant principal cellist Amos Yang will round out our holiday program as he accompanies us in Dvorak’s masterful Cello Concerto.
