Classical Family Concerts
A portion of each season's public events are Classical Family Concerts, featuring accessible interactive shows that offer audiences of all ages an "inside peek" to the performers, their instruments, and the music. Family Concerts feature classical masterpieces presented in an easy-to-follow and artful way, alongside such musical storytelling classics as "The Carnival of the Animals" and "Peter and the Wolf". In 2014, with support from the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music, we commissioned composer Danny Clay to set three of Rudyard Kipling's "Just So Stories" to musical accompaniment, in the style of "Peter and the Wolf". Keep an eye out for two more of Kipling's stories to be set to music by Danny Clay in 2016 - or donate to support this commission!
