Blomstedt & Carey Bell.  Pre-Concert Talk 1 hour prior at Davies Symphony Hall.  Premier Orchestra seats for Friday April 4, 2014 6:30pm.

April 4th concert:

Conductor Laureate Herbert Blomstedt returns to lead Schubert’s great Ninth Symphony. Written in the final years of Schubert’s too-brief life, this final Symphony was ignored for more than a decade after his passing, but once heard, was immediately hailed for its majesty and nobility. SFS principal clarinet Carey Bell is the soloist in Carl Nielsen’s jazz-inspired Clarinet Concerto.
