Improvisation

The Grand Feature Film Orchestra (GFFO)

We're a nonprofit, San Francisco-based group of professional musicians and engineers.  Our orchestra can range in size from 7 to 35+ musicians. 

With a passion for how music, sound effects, and visual media come together to tell stories, The Grand Feature Film Orchestra presents creative, original, and restored film scores live, perfectly synchronized with the action on screen.

This ensemble plays classical and current repertoire. Unlike most classical training, students are guided through improvisation sections in each performance piece. All levels and ages are welcome, and parts are customized for each instrumentalist. This session will focus on The Entertainer by Scott Joplin, The Deserted Garden by Florence Price and a sing-along-play-along of Iz's version of Over the Rainbow to perform on May 20th.
