Review: Tchaikovsky takes over at S.F. Symphony
Briefly

Elim Chan's recent performance with the San Francisco Symphony was a powerful demonstration of her conducting skills during an all-Tchaikovsky concert. Without using a baton, she led the orchestra with expressiveness and precision, interpreting a carefully curated selection from "Swan Lake". Chan's movements mirrored the music, creating an immersive experience for both the musicians and the audience. Notably, the orchestra matched her intensity, delivering dynamic performances that highlighted individual soloists. The concert confirmed Chan's ability to bring out the best in an orchestra and left a lasting impression.
"Chan clearly works from a detailed conception of the score, but what the audience sees is a conductor who is as communicative as a dancer."
"The orchestra was as energetic and involved as its guest conductor, playing with conviction and attention to dynamics."
