San Francisco Chamber Orchestra Family Concerts are a great way for Bay Area families to discover and enjoy classical music. To meet growing demand, the SFCO expanded their series from two to three concerts, and added an Oakland venue. Check out the upcoming concerts.

This program will also feature two young cellists, Nathan Chan and Chloe Lula, and side-by-side musicians from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Prep Chamber Orchestra, Berkeley’s Crowden School, and Hillsdale High School in San Mateo.
