Opening the program is Valerie Coleman’s salute to front-line workers: Seven O’Clock Shout. David Kim joins us from the Phil- adelphia Orchestra with Tchaikovsky’s emotion-packed violin concerto and will amaze you with a thrilling musical finale. Pictures at an Exhibition closes our concert with enormous orchestral forces, massive sounds, and a trip around a gallery in one of the finest examples of musical storytelling.
As we wrap up the year, you can join three Navy sailors set loose in New York City on a 24 hour pass in a live performance of Bernstein's delightful and dance-fueled "On the Town" featuring stars from Broadway and local professionals.
The second year of our American Icons Festival comes to life with music of Higdon, Gershwin and Copland.

Tchaikovsky's heart-on-the-sleeve passion is everywhere in this program, from the virtuosic delights of his violin concerto, to the deep power of his final symphony -- when he seems to foreshadow his own death only days after the premiere.
Come together for the ASO's annual holiday program. What better way to experience one of the best parts of the season? Take

A true holiday favorite, this beloved comedy classic features renowned composer John Williams' charming and delightful score performed live to picture by the Sequoia Symphony Orchestra. Macaulay Culkin stars as Kevin McCallister, an 8-year-old boy who's accidentally left behind when his family leaves for Christmas vacation, and who must defend his home against two bungling thieves. Hilarious and heart-warming, Home Alone is fun for the entire family!
The romantic comedy is a standard film genre -- and this month, the Sequoia Symphony puts a musical spin on it. The theme runs through Rachmaninoff's romantic and exhilarating second piano concerto, and two fantastic orchestral showpieces from comic operas round out the program.
Tchaikovsky’s Ukrainian heritage comes center stage in his Second Symphony, chock full of the country’s folk songs. Our soloist comes from the LA Philharmonic in Barber’s virtuosic violin concerto after the program opens with a delightful ode to our nighttime companion in Dai Wei’s The Dancing Moonlight sponsored by the New Music Society.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s acting concertmaster Kim Kaloyanides Kennedy joins the ASO for a short and delightful concerto. And our new concertmaster, Michael Ro- mans, takes on the challenging solo lines written for the role of Scheherazade, the original desperate housewife, conjuring evocative stories for the Sultan.
Known for their dramatic blend of rock and electronic music with orchestral arrangements, The Airborne Toxic Event skyrocketed to popularity with the gold-selling single “Sometime Around Midnight” from the band’s self-titled 2008 debut album, a song which spent a staggering eight weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseakers Chart. Since then, The Airborne Toxic Event has played a diverse spectrum of concerts, from performing with the Louisville and Colorado symphony orchestras, to playing at the Coachella and Lollapalooza music festivals.
Be there when The Airborne Toxic Event makes their debut with the San Francisco Symphony in an electrifying concert you won’t want to miss.
