Handel's Messiah

George Frideric Handel’s Messiah was an instant classic soon after its 1742 premiere and has been a holiday tradition around the world ever since. Through a dramatic series of arias, recitatives, and choruses, Handel offers a musical meditation on Christ’s birth, life, and resurrection—and his message of redemption. Jane Glover leads the SF Symphony and Chorus in this perennial favorite.

Barber's Knoxville

Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring tells the story of a young couple on the American frontier, from the wedding-day jitters to festive songs and dances to passages of utter serenity. It is a quintessentially American work, a nostalgic glance back to America’s “Westward, ho!” history, well-complemented by Copland’s Four Dances from Rodeo, another ballet, this one about a cowgirl trying to snare the attention of a head rancher and set to American folk tunes. The concert opens with star American soprano Susanna Phillips singing Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a setting of a James Agee poem describing an evening in the South, and Fletcher’s Three American Songs
