It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of legendary conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. A towering figure in classical music, many of you became familiar with the man known as MTT when he worked with us as a major driving force in the development and live performances of the S&M2 shows in San Francisco in September of 2019.
MTT was more than a conductor; an accomplished pianist and composer, he served as the San Francisco Symphony's musical director for 25 years. During his time with the orchestra, he brought innovation, experimentation, and community engagement to San Francisco. He fostered contemporary music by forming relationships with living composers and creating fresh accounts of standard repertory. Throughout his career, he earned 12 Grammy Awards.
We cherished our time with MTT and learned so much working with him to prepare the S&M2 performances; it was a very high honor to have him on the podium for our shows. He will be sorely missed.

Sometimes you donโt realize how legendary a moment is โ youโre just grateful to be part of it.
The prolific vocal performance by Luther Vandross during the NAACP Image Awards is one of those unforgettable moments.

But can anyone read Green Eggs and Ham better? No.
A simple message with big meaning: "I am somebody." We are grateful to Rev. Jesse Jackson for helping teach generations of children to believe in themselves and in one another. Thank you for being part of our neighborhood. ๐๐
