Bay Area classical fans have been spoiled for over two decades with renowned director Michael Tilson Thomas performing in their backyard. In the classical world, he is a household name who regularly performs at Davies Symphony Hall and draws capacity crowds. Thomas has been featured on numerous recordings on RCA Red Seal, among others. Whether or not you're a fan of Jean Sibelius or Robert Schumann's works makes little difference as MTT's mere presence will command your attention. Violinist Leonidas Kavakos joins him for what could be one of the greatest performances of the 2015 season. Bravo, Mondavi! 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, http://michaeltilsonthomas.com.
