The esteemed SFS Music Director takes on Stravinsky's Firebird
See in the spring with the San Francisco Symphony and its esteemed Music Director Micheal Tilson Thomas (affectionately known as MTT) for this revitalizing program featuring the West Coast premiere of his 'whimsical and jocular' 2012 composition Lope, and culminating with a complete performance of Stravinsky's perennially exhilarating masterwork; Firebird.
Also joining MTT and the Symphony will be French cellist Gautier Capuchon who'll lend his talents to Shostakovich's 1966 Cello Concerto No.2 in a major, Opus 126. If ever there was a program to invoke the season, this is it!
