BURT BACHARACH with the SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY

Burt Bacharach conductor, pianist, vocalist
San Francisco Symphony

One of the most accomplished popular composers of the 20th century, Burt Bacharach will perform two concerts of his greatest hits and pop standards with his band and the San Francisco Symphony with additional vocalists. Combining elements of jazz, pop, Brazilian music and rock, Bacharach created a unique new sound that was as contemporary as it was popular. His unrivaled list of hits includes “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” and “(They Long to Be) Close to You.” Bacharach was a 2012 recipient of the Library of Congress’ Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. He is currently working on “Painted from Memory,” a musical theater collaboration with Elvis Costello, Steven Sater, and Chuck Lorre based on the successful album that Bacharach and Costello recorded together. Bacharach will conduct this concert from the piano.

Tickets: $15 - $100
