Over the weekend of May 17-20, veteran violinist Itzhak Perlman returned to Davies Hall to do double-duty as violin soloist and conductor with the San Francisco Symphony. The program featured Perlman with oboist Eugene Izotov in Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto in C minor for Oboe and Violin, Piotr Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, and Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Thus we heard music from the 18^th, 19^th, and 20^th centuries. -more-
