SF Salon is where classical music, art, and community combine. Explore the music and fashion of the Baroque era with food and drink.
About this event
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.
This event will combine a performance of Baroque music by award-winning classical guitarist Juri Yun, who recently performed at Carnegie Hall, with an accompanying talk by professor emerita and fashion expert Leslie Rabine, who will give background on fashion and culture of the Baroque Era.
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!
