Bust out the picnic blanket and basket – it’s time to enjoy some classical music in the park!
Join the San Francisco Symphony in Golden Gate Park this Sunday for a free concert in Sharon Meadow beginning at 2:00pm:
The concert program features beloved works, favorites of the classical repertoire. A Night on Bald Mountain entered the American consciousness in the 1940s courtesy of “Fantasia.” Its pulsating rhythms and exotic imagery continue to fire imaginations today. Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto inspires awe for the remarkable solo turn, delivered here by the electrifying pianist Valentina Lisitsa. The program concludes with definitive Beethoven, with the symphony whose opening phrases are among the most recognizable in the entire musical universe.
The concert will be conducted by Michael Francis and Sunday’s event will also feature an instrument “petting zoo” where you can get hands on with some of the symphony’s tools of the trade.

Not really a classical music guy but will check it out. Thanks for posting!
Sunday Streets is held at GG Park this Sunday as well. A double whopper. Yay! It makes going to GG Park a must.
