A historic domed columbarium. A string quartet. Music exploring themes of the eternal. Join us on November 20 at 7:30pm for the first of what we hope becomes a series at the San Francisco Columbarium. This building houses the legacy of generations of San Franciscans and is on a mission to fling open its doors to the community as a space for reflection and peace. Fortunately their mission dovetails with ours - bringing unique experiences to our audience, that we hope connect them to their place and themselves.

Musicians Maya Cohon (Asst. Concertmaster for the SF Opera Orchestra), Sam Weiser (Asst. Concertmaster of California Symphony), Dmitri Yevstifeev (sub with the SF Opera Orchestra and accomplished violist), and James Jaffe, (founder of Sierra Quartet, Festival Rolland, and co-founder Fire and Music Project and Wave Chamber Collective) put this program together celebrating cycles and the beyond. Read their extended bios in our ‘Artists’ section.

We hope you join us!
