LineUp

San Francisco Symphony, based in Davies Symphony Hall, acclaimed for innovative performances and 13 ASCAP awards. Highlights include active touring, 15 Grammy wins, and partnerships with Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Ludwig van Beethoven, a German composer and pianist from Bonn, bridged the Classical and Romantic eras with his innovative, emotionally intense music. Renowned for works like the "Moonlight Sonata," Fifth Symphony, and Ninth Symphony, he revolutionized instrumental music, elevating it to high art. He continued composing despite profound deafness.
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), a Russian composer from St. Petersburg, is celebrated for his 15 symphonies and chamber music. His classical style features sharp contrasts, grotesque elements, and deep emotional intensity. Renowned works include Symphony No. 5 and the "Leningrad" Symphony. He navigated a complex relationship with the Soviet regime, establishing a powerful legacy as a 20th-century master.
Born in Amsterdam, Jaap van Zweden is a celebrated conductor and violinist known for leading top orchestras worldwide, Grammy-nominated recordings, and autism music therapy work.
