Parking:\u00a0<\/strong>As you may know, Hayes Valley is a difficult place to park. We certainly advise taking public transit if it\u2019s possible for you. However, if you must drive, you should know that there is a Youth Orchestra matinee in addition to the general brunch madness in our neighborhood. So for those who would prefer to know in advance they will have a place to park, we can offer pre-paid parking in the Performing Arts Garage for $20. If you would like to take advantage of this offer, you will need to purchase the parking in advance, on our Eventbrite parking page<\/a><\/strong>. This offer is only available until April 30.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A message from Choral Director Ragnar Bohlin<\/h2>\n\t

For some time I have been thinking about different ways of having a performance include participatory aspects, to use the room more fully and to also engage the audience. It is with great excitement I invite you to sing these two Bach-chorales with the SFS Chorus, with you out in the hall.<\/p>\n

The concert will also include Arvo P\u00e4rt\u2019s Te Deum<\/em>. I will then ask the entire audience to participate in a simple drone in the beginning and end of the piece.<\/p>\n

With this we are in a way I\u2019m hoping to help break down the barriers between the performers and the audience, and bring us closer to what music may have been in the past, either in churches or monasteries, or perhaps all the way back to ancient ritual singing and rhythms around a campfire.<\/p>\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n

Music conveys a prophetical message, which reveals a higher life form towards which humanity is developing. And it is because of this message that music appeals to people of all races and nationalities.<\/em><\/p>\n
