Under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas, the San Francisco Symphony marks its centennial season with an opening-night gala at Davies Symphony Hall, which features violinist Itzhak Perlman on Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor and pianist Lang Lang on Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 in E flat major. Interspersed throughout are historical documentaries about the symphony that are narrated by author Amy Tan, who also hosts.
