Joseph Haydn: Piano Concerto in D Major
Wayne Wallace: Rancho San Miguel for Jazz Trombone & Chamber Orchestra [SFCO Commission & World Premiere]
Antonín Dvořák: Serenade for Strings in E major, Op. 22

Music has the power to transport us instantly through time and space. Faster than Google Earth, a few bars and we’re “long ago and far away.” Antonín Dvořák’s sumptuous Serenade for Strings is a musical postcard from 19th century Bohemia, the land Dvořák loved. A new trombone concerto from SF jazz star Wayne Wallace evokes the rich history of the people of early California and the transformation of Yerba Buena into San Francisco. And 18th century Austria will come alive under the talented fingers of our 2011–2012 debut artist, Hilda Huang, who will perform Franz Josef Haydn’s delightful Piano Concerto in D Major. Come along on our musical journey—no passport required!
