Sleeping dragons, as we know from our childhood literature, eventually awaken. If they didn’t, there wouldn’t be a story. So it’s hardly news that in the second installment of Peter Jackson’s “Hobbit” trilogy, the dragon rouses from his slumber. What IS news: the franchise wakes up, too. Die-hard fans might disagree, but to many, the first film, last year’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” took way too long to get going and then dragged for much of its 169 minutes. “I do believe the worst is behind us,” noted Bilbo Baggins at the end of that film, to which some of us wanted to reply: “Well, we hope so.”.

Because skating is a weight-bearing exercise, ice time helps keeps bones strong. I’ve gained bone mineral density in my hips over the past few years. And, women of a certain age may want to note, here’s the best part of enjoying a sport done in chilly temperatures: Exercise is supposed to ease symptoms of menopause, but even if you’re having a hot flash, you probably won’t feel it on the ice. Skating also burns significant calories, as many as 400 per hour. And skating is low-impact, “as long as you don’t fall down,” Pagano says.

The third piece for this pair of concerts is a co-commissioned work by Robin Holloway, premiered in Liverpool in 2015. “Europa and the Bull” is based on the Greek myth, depicting, in the composer’s words, “Jupiter’s lustful hankering for the beautiful nymph, Europa.” It features Jeff Anderson, the Symphony’s principal tuba, as a soloist, instead of in his usual role of anchoring the bottom of the brass section. The second pair of concerts on Saturday and Sunday keeps the two 20th-century works and substitutes the lushly romantic 19th-century Violin Concerto No. 1 by Max Bruch for the Holloway piece. Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti is the soloist.Details: 8 p.m. Mar 23, 24, 25 and 2 p.m. Mar 26, Davies Symphony Hall; $38-$109, 415-864-6000,www.sfsymphony.org.
