The oldest musical instrument is the rock. Not even cavemen could resist the urge to tap stones together and start getting their groove on! Meet three of the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra's team of top percussionists, those versatile musicians that can be found at the back of the orchestra, handling everything from a bass drum and cymbals to a thundersheet and crotales.
The SFCO's concert series for babies, toddlers, and children was created by Music Director Ben Simon in 2007. These "mini concerts" feature a simple musical concept, short selections of classical repertoire, tumbling mats as an alternative to chairs, hands-on musical activities, and lively back-and-forth dialogue between the performers and the audience.
Consistently popular, these concerts are characterized as much by the young listeners' lively response to the rhythmic games and activities in which they engage as they are by the rapt attention paid to the Orchestra's performance.
Admission is free, but donations are gladly accepted. The San Francisco Chamber Orchestra's Very First Concert series is a fully professional production, produced in collaboration with the Crowden school of Berkeley. Seating is first come, first served.
Saturday, January 17 - Concert begins at 2:00, 2:45 & 3:30 p.m. (Repeat Performances) Calvary Presbyterian Church, 2515 Fillmore St, San Francisco
