Our end-of-season concert will be held at the architecturally spectacular Mission Dolores chapel, which dates from 1776 and is San Francisco's oldest building.
This season our theme is "Air," and it includes quite a varied mixture under this relaxing theme. In our repertoire we have: Corelli's Concerto Grosso No. 8, a beautiful example of the Italian style of freely-breathing themes or "ariosita" the spacey song "I Talk to the Wind" by the Beatles-era, British Progressive Band "King Crimson" "Addio Milano," written by our conductor, Achille Bocus and describing a change of air, as he left Milan and moved to the Bay Area. We will also play Mendelssohn's Sechs Kinderstuecke (six pieces for children) to complete our collection of music about childhood that begin with the 2009 season and Schumann's Kinderzenen and which we are recording on an upcoming CD.
The San Francisco Mandolin Orchestra is a plucked string orchestra with 20-25 members, playing instruments of the mandolin family (mandolin, mandola and mandocello), as well as guitar, double bass, and harp. The orchestra formed in May, 2005, and we rehearse in San Francisco's Mission district on Sunday afternoons.
