The mission of Classical Revolution is to present concerts involving both traditional and modern approaches while engaging the community by offering chamber music performances in highly accessible venues, such as bars and cafes, and collaborating with local musicians and artists from various styles and backgrounds. Thus, we hope to weave this music into the landscape of San Francisco nightlife, presently populated by more popular forms of musical entertainment. By taking chamber music out of the recital hall and making it more accessible to an audience who does not otherwise hear such music in a live context, we hope to bring to a broader public consciousness the realization that this music is still relevant and needn't be restricted to more austere venues.
The musicians who play in Classical Revolution come from a variety of backgrounds. Most are recent graduates or current students from the nation's best conservatories, while others are accomplished non- professional musicians who use Classical Revolution as an outlet to maintain their musical life while working non-musical jobs. This inter-relation between professional and non-professional musicians is a fundamental part of our organization: dissolving boundaries that result from the specialization of musicians and bringing people, both audience and performers, together.
Classical Revolution performs every sunday night at Revolution Cafe at 3248 22nd St in San Francisco.
