MTT and SFS present American Mavericks, works of composers who created a new American musical voice for the 20th century and beyond. This celebration of the independent spirit of composition in this country begins with two orchestral transcriptions, the first by Brant of Ives’s famous Concord Piano Sonata and the second by Copland of his own Piano Variations. Lou Harrison’s Concerto is at times grand and energetic, but also delicate and haunting. All told, it is a spellbinding listening experience.

Michael Tilson Thomas

Paul Jacobs

San Francisco Symphony

Program:

Copland
Orchestral Variations

Harrison
