MOZART AND BACH

Paul Goodwin and the San Francisco Symphony perform Mozart’s Paris Symphony, a lively work composed in Paris and written in a style to appeal to French audiences for its premiere. Written for the largest orchestra Mozart had ever used, the work was a resounding success, and is one of the composer’s best-loved symphonies, with all the swagger and sparkle of the City of Light itself. Also on the program, Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3, featuring the tender Air on the G String, a beloved work often in popular culture.

Previously scheduled guest conductor Bernard Labadie has withdrawn from these performances for health reasons.
