San Francisco Chamber Orchestra Artistic Director Ben Simon always concocts a hook that appeals to me and puts me in the mood to hear a concert. The title for this program comes from the Bach Orchestral Suite that opens the event, but it could also refer to Grieg’s popular Holberg Suite, which ends the night. In between is a world premiere guitar concerto by Michael Gilbertson, and the lovely, melodic Voyage by John Corigliano, featuring SFCO concertmaster Robin Sharp.
