From the subscriber/ticket buyer email:

The San Francisco Symphony, Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen, and our Collaborative Partners join forces in a free online event that reflects the forward-looking and vibrant creativity of our Orchestra. This one-hour concert program is anchored by the world premiere of Throughline, a new SF Symphony commission specially composed for this occasion by Nico Muhly, with performances by SF Symphony musicians and all eight Collaborative Partners, filmed in locations across the globe. The program also includes performances of Ellen Reid’s Fear / Release for percussion quartet; John Adams’ Shaking and Trembling from Shaker Loops, conducted by Salonen; Kev Choice’s Movements, an SF Symphony commission recently released as part of the CURRENTS series; and the opening movement from Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet in F minor, Opus 95.

Throughline: San Francisco Symphony—From Hall to Home is dedicated to the memory of longtime SF Symphony friend and supporter Ann Getty. The event will be accessible to the widest possible audience, streaming worldwide free of charge at sfsymphony.org and broadcasting locally on KQED Public Television Nov 14 at 7pm PST. The program will re-broadcast on NBC Bay Area on Nov 30 at 7pm PST.
