The San Francisco Symphony performs a special Halloween season concert conducted by Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen. In the three spooky works that make up the program, pagan witches dance in Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain; piano soloist Bertrand Chamayou grapples with the Dies Irae in Liszt’s Totentanz (Dance of Death); and the protagonist in Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique witnesses his own funeral during a surreal nightmare. Cal Performances welcomes Salonen back for his first Berkeley appearance leading the San Francisco Symphony.
