When it comes to musical fireworks it doesn't get any more exciting than Yuja Wang, Music Director Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas, and the SF Symphony. They join forces for a piece loved equally by pianists and audiences, Franz Liszt's tempestuous First Piano Concerto. The program concludes with Gustav Mahler's awe-inspiring First Symphony. With music that begins as a shimmer in the strings and ends in one of the most heroic finales ever written, Mahler's First is one of history's most breathtaking works.
