\nThe San Diego Symphony\u2019s month-long salute to\u00a0Bernstein\u2019s Centennial kicks off on May 4 and 6 with one of his great early successes, music to the ballet\u00a0“Fancy-Free”\u00a0led by Maestro Fabien Gabel. The celebration continues on May 8 with a chamber concert featuring pianist Orli Shaham, then May 11 to 13 it\u2019s San Diego\u2019s update of the famous “BBB” classical formula featuring Bernstein\u2019s\u00a0“Jeremiah\u00a0Symphony,” written in 1944 when the composer was 24 years old and desperate to call out fascism\u2019s destructive ascendency in Europe.
