The San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas will present new episodes of their acclaimed Keeping Score television series on New York's WNET/THIRTEEN on Saturday, June 25 at 2:00 p.m. and Saturday, July 2 at 2:00 p.m. In a year marking the centenary of both the death of Gustav Mahler and the birth of the San Francisco Symphony, the Orchestra's Keeping Score project focuses on the enigmatic composer with two one-hour documentary-style episodes, two live-performance programs (full details follow), new Mahler-related content at http://www.keepingscore.org and a 13-part national radio series. The Keeping Score project is a natural outgrowth of the San Francisco Symphony's almost century-long commitment to make classical music more accessible and meaningful to people of all ages and musical backgrounds.
