The free Concert with Conversation series features world-class musicians performing for the CMC Community. Each short concert is followed by a Q & A session, where the audience can learn about the lives, hard-work, and inspiration of these artists.
A drummer who The New York Times has said "take[s] a back seat to no one," and "a musician who balances excitement gracefully and shines with innovation." Performer, producer and educator, Ulysses Owens Jr. goes the limit in the jazz world and beyond, claiming 7 successful albums of his own. Owens has also gained special attention for his performances on GRAMMY Award-winning albums by Kurt Elling and the Christian McBride Big Band.
As an author Ulysses has authored the books titled: "Jazz Brushes for the Modern Drummer: An Essential Guide to the Art of Keeping Time," and "The Musicians Career Guide: Turning Your Talent into Sustained Success," released by Simon and Schuster.
Ulysses also serves on the faculty at The Juilliard School and is the Artistic Director for his family's youth empowerment non-profit organization, "Don't Miss A Beat" in Jacksonville, Florida.
Ulysses will be joined by two San Francisco Conservatory of Music musicians, pianist Michael Potter and bassist Julian Esparza, for this performance.
RSVP is recommended. There will also be space for walk-up patrons. Seating is first-come, first-served.
CMC thanks San Francisco Performances for making these concerts free for our community.
