This is the second of three in the orchestra’s free Family Concerts for 2011/2012. Benjamin Simon and the S.F. Chamber Orchestra delight in collaborating with youth ensembles such as the gifted Piedmont Choir. The orchestra’s short, one-hour shows are great for really young children, and are performed in three locations: Oakland, San Mateo, and San Francisco. Tour the world from your seat in the hall, as the group brings you show tunes from exotic locales. Get ready to sing, yourself, when tenor Brian Thorsett gives a lesson on opera singing to the entire audience!
