You Gotta Hear This! David Tanenbaum (guitar), Jeremy Cohen (violin) November 28, 2010

This month on "You Gotta Hear This!": Internationally renowned classical guitarist David Tanenbaum has performed with the greatest symphonies in the world. A composer and ensemble leader, Tanenbaum will perform contemporary and classic material for this special presentation. The Conservatory Guitar Ensemble joins us also, from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. PLUS: Special guest artist, jazz violinist Jeremy Cohen!

In the tradition of the classic radio variety show (think "From the Top" and "Prairie Home Companion"), the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra presents "You Gotta Hear This!"--a showcase of the best live music from around the Bay, at the plush Rrazz Room at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco--hosted by our very own Ben Simon!

This fun, new chamber music series joins the well-established "Classical at the Freight" as part of the Chamber Orchestra's "Up Close & Personal" series--taking classical music out of the traditional concert hall and into the coffeehouses and jazz clubs! We hope you'll join us for new adventures in classical music!

Featuring top performing talent from the Bay Area's world-class conservatories, orchestras, and ensembles, "You Gotta Hear This!" brings fresh sounds across musical styles and genres--classical, jazz, acoustic, pop, international, and more. All this, plus lively, bright, and informative conversation with musicians and composers, as well as classical-music quizzes, games, and contests that bring the audience right into the action!

Doors open at 1:45pm.
