Crossover specialists, Quartet San Francisco gives new meaning to chamber music with their multi-stylistic approach to jazz, tango, pop tunes, blues, bluegrass, gypsy swing and big band.
Come enjoy a memorable hour of the group’s agile, non-traditional sounds at noon Thursday, Oct. 28 in the BTC Auditorium. The program is presented free to all by the Cultural Affairs Program.
“When the music says swing, we swing. When the music says groove, we groove,” is the Quartet San Francisco’s motto.
