SFCV announces its first annual Music Educator Award for teaching excellence. We want your favorite teacher to win this award! Deadline for nominations is April 1.

Yuri Possokhov's Rite of Spring is extraordinary, demonstrating his mastery of the rhythms and impulses of the score, conducted and played with beauty and precision by Martin West and the S.F. Ballet Orchestra.

Khatia Buniatishvili is the real deal, a pianist who is fleet of fingers, yet with a relaxed, musical touch. 

A passionate advocate of contemporary music, as well as a master of the classics, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter talks about composers she venerates.

Gold Coast Chamber Players, a group which consistently brings superb professionals from all over to Lafayette and Orinda, is at it again. 

Now you can hear Clarice Assad’s chamber orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition again, played by the San Jose Chamber Orchestra, along with the premiere of the composer’s Pandemonium for String Quartet and String Orchestra.

Tanya Tomkins, who’s as fine a cellist in the early-music repertory as you will find, completes her two-part traversal of the Bach Cello Suites at Live at Mission Blue on Sunday.

Over at the S.F. Conservatory, they’ve got the home-grown, student-run Hot Air Festival Marathon.
