- | ## Notes | ||
- | |||
- | Another fun night at the symphony! | ||
- | |||
- | The show began with a mere trifle, a sort of musical // | ||
- | |||
- | John Adams’ Absolute Jest was originally commissioned to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the San Francisco Symphony in 2011; tonight, a newly reworked version served as a fun way to end the first half of the program. | ||
- | |||
- | The evening closed with a powerful rendition of Beethoven’s 4th Symphony -- another sunny and cheerful piece, and an appropriate way to end the night. | ||
