What’s Interesting About This Concert Bay Area composer Gabriela Lena Frank sets to music a text describing artist Frida Kahlo returning as a ghost for one last visit with her beloved husband Diego Rivera during the Dia de los Muertos festival. Mahler always wanted to compose an opera but was in such demand as a conductor that he never found the time. His songs are the closest he came to realizing his dream. With its instantly recognizable opening, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is one of the best-known and most popular pieces of classical music ever written.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
