On September 6, experience a joint concert by rock band Metallica and the SF Symphony with conductors Michael Tilson Thomas and Edwin Outwater, at San Francisco’s new Chase Center! The Chase Center inaugural event comes 20 years after the two groups first collaborated on a historic set of concerts billed as Symphony and Metallica (S&M). The original S&M concerts featured Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony, and were conducted by the late Michael Kamen in spring 1999 at the Berkeley Community Theatre. The September 2019 S&M2 concert features the first live performances of Kamen’s musical arrangements in 20 years, plus the first-ever Metallica/San Francisco Symphony renditions of songs written and released since the original S&M, with new orchestral charts by Bruce Coughlin.
S&M2 takes place on September 6 at Chase Center, a new 18,064-seat sports and entertainment arena in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood and home of the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors.
