SEE EVENT DETAILS
FROM PEAKS TO PAMPAS: AN ARTISTIC JOURNEY
Get ready for a special concert experience that blends the worlds of music and visual art! Join the San Francisco Pride Band for Portraits of the Americas, a program featuring composers from North, Central, and South America. The band will be returning to the historic Herbst Theatre stage on Sunday, September 29.
The "Official Band of San Francisco" is led by Artistic Director Pete Nowlen who has selected a captivating lineup of composers who draw inspiration from art and aspects of cultural heritage across the Americas. Discover the unique sounds of the Squamish First Nation of British Columbia, the folk music of the Sephardic Jewish community in Brazil, Mexican dances inspired by local plants like the saguaro cactus, and more!
This special program includes two world premieres, both by Bay Area composers. One Magnificent Light will be the final composition by our Composer-in-Residence (from our BIPOC Composition program), Mattea Williams. Eyes To Look Otherwise is a new concerto commissioned by the Latinx Storytellers Project. The composer, Juan Sebastián Cardona Ospina, offers a musical interpretation of paintings from the Mexican-American artist Tino Rodriguez. This piece is dedicated to acclaimed soprano saxophonist, Michael Hernandez, who will be the featured soloist.
Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in a world where art and music converge!
