On February 20, the San Francisco Symphony presents its annual Chinese New Year celebration, now in its twenty-first season and, for the first time, in a virtual format. The Symphony's Chinese New Year event is an elegant and colorful celebration of the Lunar New Year, featuring a program of traditional folk music and works by Asian composers and drawing upon vibrant Asian traditions, past and present.
