MTT and the San Francisco Symphony at the 1995 Opening Night Gala
From the very first concert I heard the musicians play, I was aware of the wonderful daring spirit of the SF Symphony. . . . I continue to be excited and moved by the sheer brilliance, consistency, and elegance with which the Orchestra plays, week after week.
