Concerts at the Cadillac | SF
Concerts at the Cadillac is a free concert series open to the public. Since 2007, the purpose is to provide high-quality music for the residents of the Cadillac Hotel and San Francisco’s Tenderloin District.
Everyone is welcome. Concerts art dedicated to the power of great music to uplift and inspire.
The Cadillac Hotel is home to the Patricia Walkup Memorial Piano, a meticulously restored 1884 Steinway Model D concert grand piano. The case is of Indian Rosewood and the old growth spruce soundboard is the piano’s original. The piano spent its first 70 years or so in a castle in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was shipped from New Haven, Connecticut, to the Cadillac Hotel in June, 2007. This beautiful instrument is maintained on a monthly basis by Shawn Skylark (Registered Piano Technician, Piano Technicians Guild).
The Cadillac Hotel will be swinging as the SFJAZZ Monday Night Band presents a very special, free concert on Saturday, April 18, 12-30-1:30 pm.
This 20+ piece jazz band (by audition-only) is made up of musicians of all ages from high school age hotshots to retired pros and everyone in-between. The band is directed by acclaimed Bay Area musician, composer and bandleader Adam Theis. The repertoire is diverse, including big band swing, funk, second line, jazz standards, world, and original arrangements of soul, pop, and alternative pieces.
