Sofitel San Francisco Bay Celebrates World Music Day

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Sofitel San Francisco Bay (see times)
Bay Area Jazz saxophonist Michael O’Neill will join Sofitel San Francisco Bay to celebrate Fete de la Musique, also known as World Music Day. Backed by a quintet of talented musicians, O’Neill will perform an array of Jazz favorites from the 1940s and 1950s. A carefully curated selection of songs by famous jazz artists with musical roots in France including Sydney Bechet, Miles Davis and Josephine Baker will create a uniquely French celebration!

Sofitel San Francisco Bay’s outdoor patio will set the stage for this magnifique event, and guests can partake in French-oriented spirits and specialty cocktails from the hotel’s restaurant, Bay 223. Following Fete de la Musique, O’Neill will return to San Francisco Bay Wednesday evenings throughout the summer for weekly Jazz concerts.

Fête de la Musique, recognized in France every year, was established on June 21, the Summer Solstice, in 1982 by Jack Lang, the French Minister of Culture at that time. This day, celebrated throughout the world, is meant to be a "peoples celebration" of amateur and professional musicians providing free performances in concert halls, opera houses and on street corners.
