PROGRAM:
Jens Ibsen - Scene Symphony
SFCO Commission with support from the NEA
Philip Glass - Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra
Jory Vinikour, harpsichord
Franz Joseph Haydn - Symphony No. 49 “La Passione”
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.
Always Admission free. Door open to SFCO Supporting Members at 6:30pm, General Admission at 7:15pm
