A joyous return to live concerts starts with San Francisco Performances' (SFP) first ever summer concert series called Summer Music Sessions.
First up is the SFP debut of pianist David Greilsammer.
Known for his audacious, fascinating and imaginative interpretations, conductor and pianist David Greilsammer is recognized as one of today's most adventurous classical artists. The New York Times has recently selected his albums Baroque Conversations and Mozart In-Between among the Recordings of the Year, in addition to choosing his solo recital Scarlatti:Cage:Sonatas as one of the ten most important musical events of the year.
Praised by the press and public as a creator of numerous ground-breaking musical projects, ranging from early baroque to contemporary music, David Greilsammer has also been celebrated for his Mozart performances. He has performed in Paris all of Mozart's piano sonatas in a one-day "marathon" and recently, he has conducted from the keyboard all of Mozart's twenty-seven piano concertos, in one season.
David Greilsammer has recently performed as guest conductor and soloist with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra, Hamburger Symphoniker, La Verdi Orchestra di Milano, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Israel Symphony Orchestra, Mexico National Symphony Orchestra, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony. This will be his SF Performances recital debut.
