With his departure as music director looming, MTT celebrates his run with the premiere of John Adams' “I Still Dance.” Daniil Trifonov lends a hand.
Michael Tilson Thomas’ long goodbye has begun. When he arrived as music director at the San Francisco Symphony, shortly before turning 50, he was hailed as a new guy for a new era for an orchestra that seemed to have lost touch with the times and the Bagdad-by-the-Bay spirit of the city. As Tilson Thomas enters his last season a quarter-century later, he’s proved that all the hailing was warranted.
With his daring and depth on display at Davies Symphony Hall on Thursday afternoon, Tilson Thomas premiered John Adams’ short “I Still Dance,” a dazzler dedicated to the conductor and his husband-manager, Joshua Robison, surely one of the most popular couples in their adopted city.
