Are you interested in classical music and art, and want to meet other people who share your passion? It can be hard to connect with others in a larger concert hall - that's why SF Salon Music does things differently.
SF Salon was founded to bring artists and audiences together in a new and more intimate setting, inspired by the tradition of 18th-century French “salons”, where ordinary people could interact with high society, and experience culture and art usually only accessible at the royal court.
Following the success of our inaugural salon, we are thrilled to announce that our next salon will once again combine two art forms - live instrumental music and dance - to immerse audiences with contemporary art and community-building.
While viola is not typically performed as a solo instrument, expert violist Alexandra Simpson has transposed these unique pieces to blend beautifully with James Jaffe's melodious cello to create a conversation between these two instruments, while dancer and choreographers Katie and Alex Roy will express this work through contemporary ballet.
This intimate performance is unlike any other performed in the Bay Area thus far, and we invite you to spread the word to friends and family to let them know about this rare experience.
Drinks and hors d'eouvres will be served prior to the performance, followed by dessert after the program, and opportunities for the audience and artists to mingle and exchange. You will definitely walk away entertained, having learned something new, and perhaps even with a new friendship or connection!
