ESA-PEKKA SALONEN & JULIA FISCHER

Joining Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen, violinist Julia Fischer makes her long-awaited return to the San Francisco Symphony in Brahms's Violin Concerto. Mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, tenor Nicholas Phan, and baritone Luca Pisaroni--all regular collaborators with the Symphony--sing in Stravinsky's cheeky neoclassical ballet Pulcinella, which the composer called "the epiphany through which the whole of my late work became possible."
