One Found Sound Announces Their 2016–2017 Concert Season

This coming October the One Found Sound chamber orchestra will begin their fourth season. Originally founded by four students at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the group was conceived as a collaborative ensemble with a repertoire selected democratically by all members. The result has been programming that covers a wide range of genres with the intimacy of Leoš Janáček’s wind sextet “Youth” at one extreme and the full forces required for Ludwig van Beethoven’s Opus 56 “triple” concerto in C major at the other. Programming for the new season was announced at the beginning of this month, and that breadth of scope will again be on display. In addition there will again some adventurous choices that are likely to lead listeners down unfamiliar but intriguing paths.

All concerts will be held at 8 p.m. on Friday evenings. However, the performances will again be a “moveable feast” involving two different venues in the SOMA (SOuth of MArket) section of San Francisco. Here are the specifics:
