About

Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, lauded across the globe for a half-century of achievements in classical music, is featured with San Diego Symphony as both conductor and composer. Sibelius masterworks bookend the program: the 6th Symphony, which the composer reminisced upon as depicting the “scent of the first snow” opens the evening, with his 7th symphony, described as his “most astonishing and fantastical,” closing the program. Adding to this stellar program are works from Tilson Thomas: songs set to the master poet Rilke performed by Grammy® Award-winning bass-baritone Dashon Burton, as well as Street Song, an ode to the experience of musicians greeting the dawn, featuring the brass of the San Diego Symphony.
