The SF Symphony's Soundbox has become a unique cultural phenomenon in San Francisco, blending traditional and contemporary music in an unconventional setting. With its atmosphere resembling a cocktail party and an avant-garde showcase, it engages a diverse audience. The upcoming event features composer Courtney Bryan, whose work 'House of Pianos' combines classical and jazz elements, serving as a tribute to the pianists who have influenced her. Bryan describes the piece as a 'dream world' where she explores musical histories and celebrates legendary figures in the pantheon of musical talent.
