Bookending this concert are two works inspired by the natural world: Beethoven’s unapologetically pictorial Sixth Symphony and Debussy’s roiling, swelling, sparkling oceanic triptych La Mer.
Concert Extras:
Photo Exhibit: Nature in Art. Art in Nature, through Nov. 2
Head to Davies Symphony Hall’s First Tier lobby for a photography exhibit exploring the intersection of nature and art.
Works of art by young photographers from San Francisco nonprofit First Exposures connect the nature-inspired musical visions of Beethoven’s Pastoral symphony and Debussy’s La Mer to our own Bay Area landscape.
// Oct. 18-20 at Davies Symphony Hall, 201 Van Ness Ave. (Civic Center); tickets are available at sfsymphony.org.
