In the tradition of the classic radio variety show, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra presents You GOTTA Hear This! — a showcase of the best live music from around San Francisco and the Bay Area hosted by SFCO music director Ben Simon.
Featuring top performing talent from the Bay Area's world-class conservatories, orchestras and ensembles, You GOTTA Hear This! brings fresh sounds across musical styles and genres—classical, jazz, acoustic, pop, international, and more. All this, plus lively, bright and informative conversation with musicians and composers, classical-music quizzes, games and contests that bring the audience right into the action!
We kick the series off with the formidable talents of flutist Tod Brody and double bassist Michel Taddei, performing stunning solo work and joining forces for a show-stopping duet. PLUS: Old-world mastery from Teslim, performing traditional and original Greek, Turkish and Sephardic music on restored traditional instruments.
Admission $10; under 18 only $5. One drink minimum (alcoholic/non-alcoholic).
