LOVE AND LOSS
San Francisco Philharmonic, Herbst Theatre
Join the San Francisco Philharmonic for a plunge into a night of passion, fate, and fire. Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture opens the concert with waves of emotion; based on Shakespeare's iconic play, it's a searing musical portrait of forbidden love and tragedy, in which tenderness collides with fate. After this tempest, the orchestra takes on Brahms’s towering Symphony No. 4 in E minor, a work of power and beauty. Its brooding themes and momentum drive toward one of the most epic finales in the symphonic repertoire. You won't want to miss this program, which falls fittingly on the first day of spring!
