See Elim Chan Conducts La Mer at Davies Symphony Hall. Elim Chan makes history as the first woman to lead the San Francisco Symphony as Music Director Designate. In her much-anticipated debut with SF Symphony, she conducts a program that pairs Wagner’s effusive Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan and Isolde with Debussy’s sparkling seascape La Mer. In between, experience the elegant passion of Berlioz’s song cycle Les Nuits d’été, sung by Sasha Cooke (pictured above).
Get SF Symphony tickets in San Francisco and prepare to witness a pivotal moment in classical music history. Chan joins a small but growing number of women leading top American orchestras, breaking barriers in a field long dominated by men. Formerly chief conductor of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, Chan brings bold vision and genuine curiosity to one of the country's most prestigious podiums. Catch her at Davies Symphony Hall this June — one of her first concerts as the San Francisco Symphony's incoming Music Director.
