MTT and Gil Shaham

Gil Shaham

Part requiem, part showpiece, the great Berg concerto finds an ideal interpreter in Shaham, who has explored it for years and played it often. Schubert's Masses are glories of the choral repertory and this one is no exception.

"… in the entire classical music canon, there may be no one who can compose an ending to a piece as effectively as Berg." -San Francisco Examiner

Inside Music, an informative talk free to ticketholders, with Alexandra Amati-Camperi begins one hour prior to concerts.

Meet Gil Shaham for an exclusive CD signing immediately following the June 13 concert at the Symphony Store in the lobby. Purchase your CDs now at the Symphony eStore.

Center Terrace seats are not available for these performances.
