The San Francisco Chamber Orchestra’s innovative, admission-free Family Concert series presents its second program of the 2014-2015 season. These 45-minute programs, designed for young listeners as well as adults learning about classical music, are the cornerstone of the SFCO’s educational programming and have been greeted with capacity crowds and enthusiastic responses from our audiences all season.

This original “band without instruments” has been skewering the classics and breaking all the rules for over 30 years. Join the excitement as the Bobs collide with the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra and sparks begin to fly. Singing and being silly-what could be more fun than that?!

Hosted by SFCO Music Director Benjamin Simon, this entertaining program brings music to life!

Visual delights and audience participation make these fun-loving concerts a joy for all ages! The SFCO’s Family Concert series introduces Bay Area children ages three through twelve to a wide range of classical music, setting the stage for a lifelong appreciation of this engaging art form. Audience interaction is welcome and encouraged in an informal but engrossing listening experience. Questions, clapping, and sing-alongs are all common occurrences at these joyful productions.

Admission is free, but donations are gladly accepted. The San Francisco Chamber Orchestra’s Family Concert series is a fully professional production. Seating is first come, first served (no tickets or reservations are issued). Doors open 30 minutes before each performance time.
