CRISTIAN MACELARU CONDUCTS SHOSTAKOVICH

Wynton Marsalis blends jazz, ragtime, and spirituals in his Blues Symphony, a powerful celebration of Black history and folklore. SF Symphony English horn player Russ de Luna stars in Outi Tarkiainen's Milky Ways, a celestial and hypnotic work that portrays life at its grandest and most miniscule. Led by Cristian Macelaru, the program concludes with Dmitri Shostakovich's First Symphony, a youthful piece of charming brashness and madcap action.
