San Francisco Symphony collaborative partner Claire Chase performs Marcos Balter’s Pan
On Friday, February 24, San Francisco Symphony Collaborative Partner Claire Chase performs Marcos Balter’s Pan, an evening-length piece for flute, live electronics, and an ensemble of community performers.
The 70-minute piece tells the story of the mythological goat-god Pan, one of only two Greek deities said to have been put to death, in a series of staged episodes exploring the contradictions and betrayals in Pan’s relationships.
For this performance—which features a version of the piece specifically for her collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony—Chase and the Orchestra partner with Amateur Music Network, Openhouse, and other art, education, and community organizations who will perform the piece alongside Chase.
Following the February 24 performance, Chase joins Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony on its 2023 European Tour (March 9–17), performing Pan with members of the San Francisco Symphony and the Paris community on March 12 in the Cité de la Musique concert hall at the Philharmonie de Paris.
