“It is as though one lay in springtime among the blossoming flowers, and joy and sorrow filled one’s soul in turn,” said Clara Schumann upon hearing the beginning of Brahms’ Fourth Symphony. Guest conductor David Danzmayr leads this transcendent symphony as well as Saint-Saëns’ dazzlingly energetic Second Piano Concerto, performed here by one of the best pianists of his generation, Stewart Goodyear. The program opens with Jessie Montgomery’s Strum, which the Washington Post declared to be “turbulent, wildly colorful and exploding with life.”
This performance will be delivered both in person and virtually. Each in-person ticket purchase also grants access to the virtual performance. If you would prefer to attend the virtual concert only, see the full list of virtual concerts or purchase a Virtual Concerts package here.

This German production of Sherlock Holmes’ mystery never played in the United States: by 1929, most American theaters had converted to sound, and had no use for a silent German production, regardless of how well-made. Then the film was considered lost for over 80 years. But this dark and brooding version, directed by Richard Osborne and starring an international cast headed by American actor Carlyle Blackwell as the great detective, is fully saturated with dark German expressionism. We will be showing the recent restoration from the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, largely based on a Czech print discovered in Poland in 2009. We will open the evening with a very cute comedy from 1912: A Canine Sherlock Holmes, in which a much more friendly dog defeats a group of bank robbers through his powers of detection.
