Event Details

Spacious Grace 2023: Grace Cathedral’s Free Arts Festival (SF)

Spacious Grace is the annual free-form arts festival at the cathedral when they remove the pews and fill the space with exciting events that are free and open to all.

Now in its eighth year, Spacious Grace is the time when they open the amazing space and invite you to experience the soaring arches, majestic columns and glittering stained glass in a whole new way. Artists are invited to present a wide range of cultural events — theater, dance, music and more — for two weeks in February.

2023 Schedule of Events

  • Yoga on the Labyrinth | February 7, 11, 14 at 6:15pm
  • SFJAZZ Presents Ambrose Akinmusire | February 9 at 7pm
  • ODC: Path of Miracles | February 10-12 at 8pm
  • That Week with the Bachs | February 16-18
    A pivotal moment occurred to this star-crossed family. Bach had composed hundreds of cantatas in the 1720s – cycles of them – then went on to other things. Abruptly, in November 1731, he urgently rushed to compose a new cantata. Why? That mystery leads to worlds of revelations about the family. The perfect way to tell the story of that amazing week is with a musical.

ACTs Artistic Director will take you behind the scenes for the world premiere adaptation of the best-selling novel by Khaled Hosseini that tells the epic story of three generations of Afghan women and opens at the Geary Theatre in February.

Moderated by Patrick Thompson, former chair of the Grace Cathedral Board of Trustees and current ACT board member.

A Thousand Splendid Suns is the epic story of three generations of Afghan women who are bound together by marriage, family, and a secret past, amid the war-torn streets of modern-day Kabul. Based on the best-selling novel by Khaled Hosseini that sold over seven million copies and featuring live music from composer and saw player David Coulter (Kronos Quartet; The Black Rider), this stunning world premiere is not to be missed.
