Classical Revolution

Classical Revolution is a collective of musicians dedicated to performing high-quality chamber music in non-traditional and accessible settings. Founded in 2006 at the Revolution Cafe in San Francisco, the movement's mission is to dismantle the barriers often associated with classical music, bringing it "to the people" in cafes, bars, and other community spaces.

By fostering a casual and intimate atmosphere, Classical Revolution re-imagines the concert experience, attracting new audiences and engaging them in the beauty of chamber music up close. Musicians involved range from conservatory students to seasoned professionals from major orchestras, all united by a passion for sharing music in a fresh, immediate way. The organization's unprecedented success has sparked the creation of dozens of chapters across the United States, Canada, and Europe, turning a local San Francisco movement into a worldwide phenomenon.
