Don’t miss TUNED IN: An Evening of Eclectic Performances Benefitting the San Francisco Conservatory of Music

On Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m., three stunning concert halls at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music will be turned over to an extraordinary, genre-bending lineup of local favorites and SFCM grads, faculty, and friends -- all in the name of benefitting current scholarship students at the Conservatory.

Called TUNED IN, this first annual benefit concert aims to showcase the wide variety of genres in which classically trained musicians often work. While many San Francisco Conservatory students go straight to the top of the classical music world, others leave the old masters behind and thrive on the cutting edge of indie rock, jazz, bluegrass, ambient and alternative classical.

Performers will include The Magik*Magik Orchestra, an alternative orchestra known internationally for its collaborations with Sting, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood and indie savant John Vanderslice; indie rock innovators Birds and Batteries; and prize-winning bluegrass virtuosos 49 Special, along with many others.
