The San Francisco Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Ben Simon presents the world premiere of composer Michael Gilbertson's Graffiti: Concerto for Orchestra. Gilbertson was inspired by the creative energy of San Franciso's street artists and their desire for their voices to be heard. Also on the program is the dynamic young violist Juan-Miguel Hernandez performing the Stamitz Viola Concerto in D major. Capping off the evening is Haydn's Symphony No. 104, an orchestral tour-de-force combining orchestral splendor with lighthearted brilliance.
