Awesöme Orchestra | Epic Free Classical Concerts
Awesöme Orchestra brings people together for musical adventures. Their free sessions are part performance, part open rehearsal. They provide the sheet music, and anyone is welcome to play or to listen.
The Awesöme Orchestra Collective is the Bay Area’s most adventurous reading orchestra, dedicated to playing excellent orchestral music of all kinds with amazing musicians in a fun, casual environment focused on high musicianship. Their events are always free, but they ask for a pay-what-you-will donation to help cover basic costs.
Punk Rock Orchestra was a group of orchestral and punk rock musicians that played tons of punk songs arranged for orchestra.
They haven’t played together in a while, but many of them are still in the Bay Area and have played with Awesöme Orchestra, so they thought it would be fun to do a session with their alumni playing several of their bad-ass arrangements.
Free, but an RSVP is required; donations are welcome.
