SF Symphony has added some concerts:
- Saturday, March 8, 2025, 7:30 p.m. $50-$200. SF Musicians for LA: A Benefit for Fire Relief. Edwin Outwater conducts music of Copland, Rachmaninoff, Dvořák, with the Symphony Chorus and Garrick Ohlsson, piano. Net proceeds from all ticket sales will be split evenly and donated to two vital organizations providing essential relief services:
- Friday, June 20, 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 22, 2 p.m. $29-$79. Verdi Requiem and choral works of Gordon Getty. James Gaffigan conducts. Soloists Rachel Willis-Sørensen, Jamie Barton, Mario Change, and Morris Robinson. Esa-Pekka Salonen is conducting in Germany that weekend. (The prices for this program are so low that I am guessing Getty is subsidizing the performances.)
After the disappointment of the cancellation of the Verdi Requiem last fall and them saying they were not going to be rescheduled, I was thrilled to get this announcement this morning. I jumped on and bought my tickets right away!
ReplyDeleteI should see about swapping my Verdi tickets for this. Must admit that I am wondering if Gordon Getty is funding this. His choral works were added to the September concerts, then removed, because he wanted them recorded.
