Old First Concerts
1751 Sacramento San Francisco

sfSound returns to Old First Concerts with an exciting program of works newly composed/revised within the last year, alongside two contrasting pieces from the 1960s.

The concert features the west coast premiere of compositions by John Zorn, Hans Tutschku, and Christopher Burns. Rounding out the program are classics by Terry Riley, Mario Davidovsky, and a composition by sfSound's Matt Ingalls based on the music of György Ligeti that is ABSOLUTELY NOT A COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
