Ken-David Masur, conductor
Ken-David Masur makes his return to San Antonio conducting the Philharmonic in Brahms’ masterful Saint Anthony Variations. Then, you’ll be itching for your dancing shoes as he follows with a pair of colorful 20th century masterpieces by Prokofiev and Ravel—Highlights from Romeo and Juliet and Boléro. To celebrate our inaugural season in a big way, we’ll begin with the world premiere of Emergent by San Antonio composer Ethan Wickman.
Emergent was commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University
