SFCO MainStage 3: Seeing Double
February 28, 7:30 PM in the Sanctuary
In a first for the SFCO, internationally acclaimed harpsichordist, Jory Vinikour, joins Music Director Jory Fankuchen and the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra in Philip Glass’ mesmerizing Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra. Mr. Vinikour brings his commanding musicianship and effortless technique to Glass’ homage to the Baroque. In another nod to the pre-Classical style, Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 49, La Passione, fuses Baroque sound and form with the dramatic Sturm and Drang movement of the 18th century in a fiery and tumultuous work. Our program opens with Scene Symphony, an SFCO commission by the brilliant young composer Jens Ibsen.
This concert is free to all, but please RSVP to help with a headcount.
