Here’s an all-American two-parter: “San Francisco Symphony at 100″ with music director Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the Symphony’s centennial season opening night gala will be broadcast on PBS “Great Performances” on Friday, March 30.
Author Amy Tan hosts the program which also features Itzhak Perlman and Lang Lang performing works by Copland, Mendelssohn and Britten.
The previous day, March 29, “Great Performances” features “The Thomashefskys: Music and Memories of a Life in the Yiddish Theater,” which is Tilson Thomas’ tribute to his grandparents, Yiddish theater pioneers Boris and Bessie Thomashefsky.
