Join us for a
special free concert celebrating the debut of Byer Square, the new community hub at the San
Francisco Campus for Jewish Living, bringing together culture, connection, and
longevity to inspire how we live and age. In a multimedia narrative
performance, New York City’s Gabriel Schillinger-Hyman Quartet explores jazz music
that originated in film, revealing how movies helped carry jazz into the
collective imagination. The program spans a wide range of film styles and eras,
including silent films, early talkies, animation, noir, gothic horror and
supernatural films, romance, musicals, Hollywood classics, independent and
arthouse cinema, and avant-garde works. Special emphasis is placed on the
contributions of Jewish composers, whose influence on 20th-century film
and popular music is profound and lasting.
