2008-2009 Season

Anthony Blea's formidable skill on the violin landed him work with international legends such as Ray Charles, Boz Scaggs and Leonard Bernstein, as well as the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and the Del Sol String Quartet. In his own words, Anthony's lively 8-piece Cuban ensemble is a "world class band  thanks to the combination of great arrangements and virtuoso musicians".

"A veteran master who harbors a bright future" (Latin Beat Magazine)

A pioneer in the field of choral music since 1978, the San Francisco Girls Chorus has won three Grammy Awards for its recordings with the S. F. Symphony as well as numerous international honors. Chorissima, SFGC's acclaimed concert, touring and recording ensemble, performs a varied repertoire of classical and popular works.

Blending the vibrant colors and vigorous rhythms of Latin American music with the sumptuous voices of the wind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon), Quinteto Latino performs with impeccable artistry and infectious energy. The quintet seeks to expand the boundaries of classical music and inspire new generations of players.
