Starburst
Throughout the year, the San Francisco Symphony celebrates the staggering diversity of the new American sound, this week featuring three radically different works: The sizzling virtuoso Nicola Benedetti performs the Violin Concerto by jazz icon Wynton Marsalis: James Gaffigan conducts Starburst by the stylish New York composer Jessie Montgomery; and the San Francisco Symphony captures a vision of the American frontier in Dvořák’s musical postcard, the New World Symphony.
