SF Music Day 2020 Announces Schedule

Almost exactly a month ago, InterMusic SF announced the ten jazz, classical, chamber, and global music ensembles whose performances would be streamed between noon and 6 p.m. on SF Music Day, Sunday, October 25 (one week from tomorrow). The schedule for those performances was announced yesterday. For the convenience of readers, I shall reproduce the descriptions of the performances in a new list ordered by start time:

• 12 p.m.: The Telegraph Quartet will perform Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Opus 34 (third) quartet in D major.
• 12:30 p.m.: The trio of guitarist Ricardo Peixoto, pianist Marcos Silva, and percussionist Brian Rice will play a set of Brazilian jazz, including classics by Antônio Carlos Jobim.
