"Guerrero's two previous appearances with the San Francisco Symphony have showcased his flair for colorful, dramatic music as he returns to Davie Symphony Hall after a two-year gap."
"The orchestration of Saariaho's 'Asteroid 4179: Toutatis' features beautifully layered instruments, starting with crystalline transparency before building into a powerful climax."
Conductor Giancarlo Guerrero returned to the San Francisco Symphony after a two-year hiatus, presenting a dynamic program with notable orchestral works. He conducted Kaija Saariaho's 'Asteroid 4179: Toutatis', a four-minute piece characterized by intricate orchestration and a gradual build-up of power, and Igor Stravinsky's 'Petrushka', a 40-minute ballet score noted for its storytelling. Guerrero's adeptness in managing dynamics and timing highlighted the structure of the music, allowing both the orchestra and soloists to shine, contributing to a memorable performance at Davies Symphony Hall.
