For the first time, this concert series hosts a night of "classical" percussion music in an irresistible Percussion Fest! Bringing together three of SF's top stick and mallet men—Loren Mach, Christopher Froh, and Daniel Kennedy—our up-close-and-personal journey into the orchestra's rhythm section promises to be wide-ranging, entertaining, engaging, probably a bit extravagant, and definitely fun for the entire family!

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.
