The Tenth Annual
SAN FRANCISCO WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL
November 13-22, 2009
For a decade now, the San Francisco World Music Festival has developed projects with master artists and youth in the Bay Area and in several countries abroad as a catalyst for cultural understanding. We have staged works bringing musicians from many backgrounds and traditions together to explore the potential of this essential exchange.
This year, as the centerpiece of the festival, and in celebration of our 10th Anniversary, we will continue this tradition, launching one of our most ambitious and inspiring projects yet, an International Youth Music Initiative. For more information, go to the Commissions page.
In addition to this World Premiere, we will feature a special performance of visiting master musician making his debut from Kyrgyzstan; a film night; a concert featuring the rhythms of Indian tabla; and more! Check the Festival Schedule for details.
