When your music director is also a prominent composer, you keep an eye on his guest conducting engagements because he's been known to conduct his own music and works by other interesting, prominent composers. I've been scouring Esa-Pekka Salonen's conducting schedule, and I found him conducting, at other orchestras, various works that I'd love to hear in San Francisco. Here's a little list of what he'll be conducting in the near future or has conducted in the recent past that isn't known to be on SFS's schedule:
- Salonen: Fog (US premiere of orchestral version)
- Muhly: Shrink (concerto for violin and strings); Pekka Kuusisto, violin, co-curator.
