Choose Your Groupmuse Night Out!

Readers may recall that this coming Sunday will be a day of “competing” Groupmuse events. It turns out that, two weeks later, there will be another such competition. On Saturday, March 21, there will be two overlapping events; but they will take place in different parts of the city. In other words, one will not be able to go from one to the other during intermission! Each of the events will begin at a different time with specifics as follows (with hyperlinks to the Groupmuse pages):

7:30 p.m.: San Francisco Philharmonic will present an overture-symphony program without the intervening concerto. The overture will be Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet,” based on the play by William Shakespeare. The symphony will be Johannes Brahms Opus 98, the last of his four symphonies, composed in the key of E minor. “Supermusers” will be entitled to the $13.50 admission rate, rather than the $17 charge for all others. Ticket sales will close on March 19 at 7:30 p.m. The performance will take place in Herbst Theatre, located at 401 Van Ness Avenue on the southwest corner of McAllister Street.

Dan Tepfer (from the Groupmuse Web page for his recital this month in Noe Valley)

8 p.m.: Pianist Dan Tepfer will present a solo performance entitled Inventions/Reinventions. According to his Groupmuse page, he will use the keyboard inventions by Johann Sebastian Bach for his own “personal interpretations and spontaneous improvisations.” “Supermusers” will be entitled to the $16 admission rate, rather than the $20 charge for all others. Ticket sales will close on March 20 at 8 p.m. The performance will take place in the Noe Valley Ministry, located at 1021 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley.
