Throughline: San Francisco Symphony—From Hall to Home
This year the San Francisco Symphony welcomes new Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen and eight Collaborative Partners with a digital concert event that charts a new direction for the Orchestra.
The vibrant program includes music by Ellen Reid, John Adams, Kev Choice, and Ludwig van Beethoven, and is highlighted by the world premiere of Collaborative Partner Nico Muhly’s Throughline, a San Francisco Symphony commission written specifically for a digital medium and filmed in locations around the world.
Throughline: San Francisco Symphony—From Hall to Home will broadcast locally in the Bay Area on November 14 at 7pm PST on KQED Public Television and simultaneously stream worldwide on this page, where it will remain for on-demand viewing.
Throughline: San Francisco Symphony—From Hall to Home is dedicated to the memory of longtime SF Symphony friend and supporter Ann Getty.
The event is chaired by James C. Hormel and Michael P. N. Hormel.
Elements of the Symphony’s annual, free All San Francisco Concert are now included in this event, which is accessible on a global scale but grounded with a local focus. This year's All San Francisco Committee is chaired by Andrea Ceseña and Selina Weiss.
