Carnegie Hall
57th St & 7th Ave, New York, NY 10019-3210
The San Francisco Symphony sets the highest possible standard for excellence in musical performance at home and around the world; Enriches, serves, and shapes cultural life throughout the spectrum of Bay Area communities The orchestra has grown in stature and acclaim under a succession of distinguished music directors. Herbert Blomstedt continues to serve as Conductor Laureate. Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT) became Music Director in 1995. Under his leadership, the orchestra has reached new artistic heights and new audiences. 

Tilson Thomas conducts music for which he has had a long-standing affinity in the first of his two final New York City concerts as the San Francisco Symphony’s music director. Stravinsky’s spectacular The Firebird is a thrilling showpiece, while John Adams’s I Still Dance is an exuberant curtain raiser. Gautier Capuçon provides additional excitement as soloist in Saint-Saëns’s daredevil Cello Concerto No. 1. (March 17th)

Tilson Thomas conducts Mahler’s dramatic Symphony No. 6. A titanic—and ultimately unsuccessful—struggle with fate is vividly depicted in the music. (March 18th)
