The magic of the natural world is at the heart of this program featuring Esa-Pekka Salonen and the SF Symphony. Bookended by Claude Debussy's voluptuous Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Prelude to The Afternoon of a Faun) and evocative La Mer, the program is anchored by two works inspired by the majesty of birds. Jeremy Denk takes on Olivier Messiaen's Oiseaux exotiques (Exotic Birds), which incorporates the songs of 47 species of birds, while SF Symphony Collaborative Partner and flutist Claire Chase performs Kaija Saariaho's Aile du songe (Winged Dream).
