During their 25-year partnership, Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony forged a new identity for the Orchestra, one which won international acclaim for their interpretations of the masterworks and explorations of the new American sound. This artistic legacy is represented in this meaningful program: Opening the evening is a new work by an elder statesman of American music, former SFS Composer-in-Residence John Adams, followed by a profound performance of Mahler's tragic Sixth Symphony. Experience the SF Symphony playing these works together for the first time ahead of the 2020 European Tour.
