Pianist Seong-Jin Cho and debuting conductor Antonello Manacorda make a persuasive case for Mendelssohn’s Second Concerto, an elegantly crafted work from an era when concertos were often mere vehicles for virtuosic showmanship. Anton Webern’s mid-1930s orchestration of Bach’s Ricercare from The Musical Offering finds the gleaming throughlines in this polyphonic marvel. Brahms’s fourth and final symphony draws on a lifetime of experience and study, resulting in a work that’s both intensely experimental and deeply traditional. The astonishing finale turns Bach’s mournful Cantata No. 150, “For Thee, O Lord, I Long,” into an elaborate passacaglia.
Paid parking is available at the Performing Arts Garage beneath Davies Symphony Hall and at nearby Civic Center parking facilities. Public transportation via BART, Muni, and rideshare services is strongly recommended for performances.
