CANCELLED: San Francisco Symphony / Michael Tilson Thomas

MTT or Michael Tilson Thomas? In the meantime, true fans refer to the American conductor, who has been in charge of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra since 1994, with the same acronym as his fellow conductors. And those true fans presumably know his almost legendary recording of the complete Mahler symphonies, which won several Grammys as »The Mahler Project«, back to front. Tilson Thomas is known for identifying details in the scores that escape even the practised and passionate listener. And by the end of the evening, the Elbphilharmonie audience will certainly have joined the ranks of music lovers who refer to this remarkable conductor simply as »MTT«.
