Legendary timpanist and composer William Kraft wrote his second concerto specifically for San Francisco Symphony’s David Herbert, and Herbert will perform it with Kraft in attendance. Played on 15 custom-built timpani tuned for melody, the concerto is almost as much dance as music. One of Shostakovich’s greatest works follows — his autobiographical Tenth Symphony, with its merciless portrait of Stalin and its passionate moods of despair and triumph.
