Very First Concerts with the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra

11:00am and 11:45am

Instruments are really just tubes, sticks, blocks and strings….and it’s all vibration. The SFCO All-Star Brass Quintet makes lots of funny sounds and then shows how we turn it into music!

Very First Concerts, a classical series designed with the youngest listeners in mind. Each interactive, 20 minute concert features a central theme, short selections, and hands-on musical activities geared toward families with young children.
