San Francisco Symphony has, very unusually, added a program to a blank spot in June, between James Gaffigan's one-night-only special event and Tianyi Lu making her orchestra series debut. I wonder what it could mean.
Elim Chan, who has been excellent in her previous appearances, leads this juicy, if solidly 19th-early 20th c., program:
Friday, June 5, 2026, at 7:30pm
Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 7:30pm
Sasha Cooke, mezzo-soprano
FELIX MENDELSSOHN Overture to
HECTOR BERLIOZ Les nuits d’été
RICHARD WAGNER Prelude and Lie
CLAUDE DEBUSSY La mer
Tickets: $29–89

Well that IS interesting. Elim Chan is on my short list for MD and would be quite a coup for SFS. Perhaps a rare good move by the current board? It has frequently been reported she's being courted by several top orchestras.
I've heard the same. I should use the headline for concerts by other potential SFS candidates. She is on my own short list.
