San Francisco Performances' popular Wednesday night Salon concerts spotlight fabulous talent in the casual and intimate setting of the Hotel Rex located at 562 Sutter Street. Reminiscent of the arts and literary salons of 1930s San Francisco when artists performed in intimate spaces for a small group of friends, the Salon Series artists talk about the music they perform, sharing insights into how programs are developed and how their careers are formed. Audiences learn about music in a convivial atmosphere where questions and discussion are encouraged. These informal, after-work events last just one hour and drinks can be purchased in the hotel bar and enjoyed during the concert. All concerts take place at 6:30pm on Wednesday nights with the singular exception of a Thursday night salon on January 28, 2016.
First-generation Mexican-American baritone Efrain Solis is a second-year Adler Fellow who made his Company debut in June 2014 as Prince Yamadori in Madama Butterfly. Solis brings his "theatrical charisma and musical bravado" to a fascinating program of songs by Strauss, Poulenc, and Sondheim. Also on the program are new songs set to the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, written for Solis by Bay Area composer/clarinetist Jose Gonzales Granero.
Future performance dates include his return to the Company as Silvano in Un Ballo in Maschera, Sciaronne in Tosca, and Schaunard in La Boheme for 5 Families. He has performed a variety of roles, including the title role of Eugene Onegin with Russian Opera Workshop in Philadelphia, Guglielmo in Cosi fan tutte, and Figaro in The Marriage of Figaro. At the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, he performed the title role of Don Giovanni, Guglielmo in Cosi fan tutte, and the title role of Gianni Schicchi. In the spring of 2013, he joined Opera Santa Barbara as a member of their Studio Artist Program where he sang the role of Il Notaio and covered Dr. Malatesta in Don Pasquale.
