SLL (Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing) paid a one-day visit to San Antonio this week to continue his house hunting. He quickly flew back to Denver to continue his rehearsals for La Bohème. But, he did have time for a marathon artistic planning meeting for the Symphony's 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons and to film (at the airport) this brief video about this weekend's concert:
November 5 & 6, 2010
GERSHWIN & RAVEL
Majestic Theatre
The roaring 1920s come alive with Gershwin's and Ravel's jazz-influenced masterpieces. These two Gershwin favorites are filled with memorable melodies that are audacious, sentimental and unabashedly American. Pianist Ryo Yanagitani was the top prize winner of the last San Antonio International Piano Competition.
Tito Muñoz, conductor
Ryo Yanagitani, piano
Stravinsky: Symphony in C
Ravel: Piano Concerto in D major (Left Hand)
Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue
Gershwin: An American in Paris
