SF Symphony+ presents Delirium

The San Francisco Symphony offers free digital programming by subscription to SF Symphony+. Sign up here.

This month features an hour-long program curated by harpsichordist Jeremy Denk, created during and for the pandemic. Delirium is structured by quotes from a collection of historical medical writings paired with music that reflects or bounces off of the material, connected with fever, plague and recovery. Denk writes:  “I hope this program gives a sense of our place in history, at times unsettling, but also finally, comforting.”
