Classical at the Freight brings the Bay Area's best classical musicians to the Freight for an hour of top-flight chamber music in an informal, friendly atmosphere. San Francisco Chamber Orchestra music director Benjamin Simon is your host; his goal is to un-stuffify and de-mystify classical music for the general music lover, sharing the joys and rewards of this timeless art with new audiences young and old.

Join us for this special evening on the low-tone end of the sonic spectrum. Michel Taddei, principal bassist for the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra and many other fine local ensembles, returns to the Freight to dazzle us with his showmanship, virtuoso technique, and a few pieces for the double bass that many of us never knew existed. Had enough of those screechy violins? This is the program for you!
