6:45pm reception, 8:00pm curtain
Paul Goodwin and the San Francisco Symphony perform Mozart’s Paris Symphony, a lively work composed in Paris and written in a style to appeal to French audiences for its premiere. Written for the largest orchestra Mozart had ever used, the work was a resounding success, and is one of the composer’s best-loved symphonies, with all the swagger and sparkle of the City of Light itself. Also on the program, Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3, featuring the tender Air on the G String, a beloved work often in popular culture.
Harvard and Yale alumni will arrive at 6:45 to a reception with no-host refreshments on the Symphony's 2nd tier. At 7:15, we will introduce a special guest who will speak to us about the pieces on the evening's program. At 7:45, we will head to our seats for 8:00 curtain.
