Debuting conductor Marta Gardolińska leads the San Francisco Symphony in Felix Mendelssohn's evocative travelogue, inspired by a visit to the ruins of Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh. Grażyna Bacewic wrote her Overture in 1943, during the German occupation of her native Poland. The premiere was delayed until her homeland was liberated from the Nazis two years later. Written in the aftermath of World War I, Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto is an urgent elegy, a late-life affirmation of Englishness.

Legion of Honor

Sheku Kanneh-Mason makes his Orchestral Series debut with Dmitri Shostakovich’s subtly sinister Cello Concerto No. 1. Shostakovich once told Sofia Gubaidulina that his wish for her was always to continue along her “mistaken path”, turning a critical remark from her Soviet censors into a virtue. Her poignant Fairytale Poem portrays a small piece of chalk in the hand of a child who draws “castles, gardens with pavilions and the sea with the sun on the pavement.”

Esa-Pekka Salonen & Sheku Kanneh-Mason

Mahler’s Third Symphony contains multitudes. When the monumental score was almost finished, he predicted that it would be “something the like of which the world has never yet heard! In it the whole of nature finds a voice.” As its creator, he was both god and unconscious instrument “played on by the universe.”
