Serving the San Francisco Bay Area New Music Community

Sun, Sep 24 2017 12:00 PM


Join us for the 10th anniversary of SF Music Day, the Bay Area’s free homegrown music festival, presented by InterMusic SF. SF Music Day celebrates the diverse and dynamic music of our region, from string quartets to jazz combos, new music pioneers to chamber groups steeped in the sounds of Brazil, India, Argentina, and the Philippines. With repertoire that spans inventive new works and timeless classics, ensembles that range in size from duo to big band, and fresh young talents sharing the stage with seasoned veterans, SF Music Day presents a kaleidoscopic vision of Bay Area music making. Come with open ears, to experience all that our vibrant music community has to offer.

This year’s festival features 35 ensembles on four stages in the ornate War Memorial Veterans Building in downtown San Francisco, and a special series of moderated discussions reflecting on Bay Area music making over the past decade. Local food truck vendors will be parked outside the hall all day. SF Music Day is presented by InterMusic SF, formerly the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music, supporting the Bay Area music community since 1998.
