Happy Birthday MTT!

Celebrate a towering figure in American music, as the San Francisco Symphony honors Michael Tilson Thomas on his 80th birthday. This milestone concert brings MTT's legacy to the stage with a mix of orchestral showpieces and more intimate vocal works, reflecting the breadth of the Music Director Laureate's musical passions and personal achievements.

MTT leads the Symphony and Chorus in a performance through Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra and Respighi's exhilarating Roman Festivals, while Teddy Abrams and Edwin Outwater also appear to lead the orchestra and guest artists Frederica von Stade, Sasha Cooke, Jessica Vosk and Ben Jones through further selections by both MTT himself and composers who have defined his musical journey. Don't miss this one off performance!
