Esa-Pekka Salonen, conductor
Yuja Wang, piano

NIELSEN: Helios Overture
MAGNUS LINDBERG: Piano Concerto No. 3 [San Francisco Symphony Commission, World Premiere]
BARTÓK: Concerto for Orchestra

Hear a late-Romantic rarity, a brand-new commission, and a 20th-century favorite. Esa-Pekka Salonen leads Carl Nielsen’s sun-drenched Helios Overture, inspired by the Aegean coast. Then Yuja Wang premieres Magnus Lindberg’s Piano Concerto—a new piece by a composer known for the flowing energy and vibrant instrumental colors of his music. Last of all is Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, which gives nearly every instrument a solo turn, culminating in a rowdy finale.
