Having already accounted for the October schedule for Old First Concerts, this site can now turn its attention to the highlighted events for that month at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM). As in the past, the Performance Calendar Web page will provide the most up-to-date information about the many concerts and recitals that will be presented to the general public. Each Web page will also include a hyperlink for purchasing tickets. All offerings will be in-person events without a live-streamed option. As was the case last season, this site will focus on key highlights; and those seeking more thorough information can consult the Performance Calendar.
Thursday, October 6, 7 p.m., SFJAZZ Miner Auditorium, 201 Franklin Street: This will be the first “side-by-side” concert in which the students in the Roots, Jazz, and American Music Department (RJAM) will perform with the members of the SFJAZZ Collective. The participating Collective members will be Warren Wolf, David Sanchez, Edward Simon, and Matt Brewer. This particular event will be part of the SFJAZZ Thelonious Monk Festival, which will run from October 5 to October 7. Additional participants in this particular performance will include Joshua Redman, Carmen Bradford, Julian Lage, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, and Matt Wilson.
