MTT conducts Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, which expresses the composer’s love of nature and the refuge he found there during times of depression and loss. Each of the five movements contains a programmatic inscription by Beethoven meant to convey an emotion he found in nature. Celebrating his 10th anniversary season, SFS Concertmaster Alexander Barantschik brings his "sinewy string tone and vibrant musical personality" (San Francisco Chronicle) to the profound Violin Concerto of Schnittke.

Inside Music, an informative talk free to ticketholders, begins one hour prior to concerts.
