SF Conservatory of Music Announces Big Plans for Live Music
San Francisco Conservatory of Music just announced its 2021 Fall season of performances, bracketed by orchestral concerts on Sept. 25 and Dec. 11 in the reopened Concert Hall, and featuring the annual gala to support scholarships on Nov. 12, with Yo-Yo Ma. A busy chamber-music season will take place in the new Ute and William K. Bowes, Jr. Center for Performing Arts.
As part of pandemic-related safety precautions, performances held at the Bowes Center will be open for in-person attendance by members of the SFCM community and invited guests only and will be streamed live. In the Concert Hall, proof of full vaccination is required and face masks must be worn.
SFCM Music Director Edwin Outwater, guest and student conductors lead the Conservatory Orchestra; Nicole Paiement directs New Music Ensemble performances; there is a fully-staged opera production of Hansel and Gretel; and a concert by the Roots, Jazz, and American Music Big Band and Latin Ensemble.
Violinist and pre-college alumna Amy Schwartz Moretti, cellist faculty member Bonnie Hampton, and the Telegraph Quartet will be featured in concerts. READ MORE
