Edwin Outwater begins an action-packed summer with San Francisco Symphony on 29 June, premiering a new production ‘Get Happy: A Judy Garland Centennial Celebration’ at Davies Symphony Hall. Accompanied by Judy’s rare performance footage, home movies and photographs, this concert brings her legendary songbook to life, featuring Broadway star Jessica Vosk, Olivier Award-winner Andy Karl and drag sensation Peaches Christ.
This is followed by two nights of music on 28 and 29 July, where Edwin and the orchestra join forces with popular duo Pink Martini at Davies Symphony Hall and Stanford’s Frost Amphitheatre. Edwin’s Independence Day collaboration with the orchestra continues for a Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular – a festive outdoor performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre with a crowd-pleasing programme featuring hits by Bernstein and Ellington as well as some Disney favourites. On 9 July, Edwin is joined by award-winning singing sensation Isabel Marie Sánchez for ‘Music of Selena’, filling Davies Symphony Hall with Selena’s greatest hits.
