The San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas premiere the second season of the Keeping Score television series on PBS in October 2009 (check local listings).
Keeping Score is the San Francisco Symphony´s national project to make classical music more accessible and meaningful to people of all ages and musical backgrounds, and a key component of its almost century-long history of music education.
More than five million viewers tuned into the first season of Keeping Score on PBS in November 2006 with episodes on Ludwig van Beethoven, Igor Stravinsky, and Aaron Copland.
Keeping Score Season 2 features three new programs that explore the music and stories behind Hector Berlioz´s symphonic love letter Symphonie fantastique; Charles Ives´s sonic portrait of New England in his Holidays Symphony; and Dmitri Shostakovich´s Symphony No. 5, a work that may have saved his life.
These three new documentary programs and live concert programs are offered in high definition and surround-sound and are designed to engage and entertain, regardless of the viewer´s musical background.
The programs work in tandem with an interactive website, www.keepingscore.org, a national radio series, and a national model education program for K-12 teachers that helps them integrate classical music into core subjects.
