Meet your next favorite composer, take in riveting discussions, great musical performances, and exciting music demos. In our How Music is Made series, composers reveal their motivation behind the notes and together we discover the inspiration and narrative behind each piece. We invite you to join us for music demonstrations, followed by a discussion about the work with the composer, followed by the full concert that evening.
All talks are free and open to the public.
Facilitated by SFCMP Artistic Director, Eric Dudley
