Join us at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on March 5th, 2017 for a day-long festival of concert music by composers from all around the world!

Admission is free and open to the public. The day will be divided into four sessions with musicians and composers performing in the Conservatory's three performance spaces: Osher Salon, Sol Joseph Recital Hall, and Caroline H. Hume Concert Hall.

This year’s marathon is the most “wired” in the history of the Festival — you won't want to miss all these mixed-media works that involve amplification, sound processing, and visual projections!
