SF’s Yerba Buena Gardens Festival 2025
The 2025 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival hosts a full lineup of free outdoor music, theater, circus, dance, poetry, and children’s programs. The Festival opens on Saturday, May 10, 2025 with La Santa Cecilia to kick off its 25th Anniversary Season.
The latest epic project from the fecund musical imagination of Jazz Mafia godfather Adam Theis, The Brass Convergence fulfills a long-time dream of the Bay Area’s essential bandleader, composer, and multi-instrumentalist.
Looking to enhance the sense of community amongst the region’s various brass aggregations, he’s engineered The Brass Convergence, a one-day festival featuring numerous surprise ensembles rooted in far-flung brass traditions that all heavily utilize horns and percussion (including top members of the funk and hip-hop inflected Jazz Mafia).
The program culminates in a finale composed and led by Theis for a monster ensemble of more than 100 performers.
