San Francisco Symphony: Charles Dutoit conducts Scheherazade February 13, 2009

Lighter-than-air Debussy is a balance to Stravinsky's spiky, muscular music. Rimsky-Korsakov tells tales from the Arabian Nights in a fusion of soaring imagination and brilliant color.

Free Inside Music talk by Laura Stanfield Prichard one hour prior to each concert.
