SF Chamber Orchestra | Civic Center

Music has the power to transport us instantly through time and space. Faster than Google Earth, a few bars and we’re “long ago and far away.”

Antonin Dvorak’s Serenade for Strings is a musical postcard from 19th century Bohemia, the land Dvorak loved. A new trombone concerto from SF jazz star Wayne Wallace evokes the rich history of the people of early California and the transformation of Yerba Buena into San Francisco. And 18th century Austria will come alive under the talented fingers of our 2011-2012 debut artist, Hilda Huang (pictured), who will perform Franz Josef Haydn’s Piano Concerto in D Major.

Join Maestro Ben Simon for an engaging pre-concert talk 30 minutes before the show. Admission is free, but tickets are required (available online or at the door).
