About this event
This concert serves as the official opening of the San Diego Symphony's 2026–2027 season at the Jacobs Music Center. Under the baton of Music Director Rafael Payare, the program is thematically curated to celebrate the power of human imagination. The evening bridges 20th-century Soviet avant-garde, Classical era dramatic grandeur, and late Romantic theatricality. The focus is on the acoustic and orchestral brilliance of the ensemble, highlighted by the return of guest pianist Yefim Bronfman. The performances are part of multiple subscription series, including Saturday A, Saturday B, Saturday D, Sunday A, and Sunday B. Steinway & Sons is the official piano provider for the San Diego Symphony for this production.
