The Best Reason to Skip out of Work Early: A Free Soundcheck at SFJAZZ
Briefly

SFJAZZ is inviting the public to free open soundchecks before concerts, a practice begun last year after previously only inviting educators. This event aims to offer a behind-the-scenes look into the concert experience, allowing attendees, especially those interested in sound engineering, to witness the preparation that leads to special performances. The upcoming soundcheck features harpist Brandee Younger, and the initiative presents a rare opportunity compared to traditional, paid soundchecks in other venues, attracting an average of 50-100 visitors each time.
"It's an incredible opportunity to see the space being activated before the public experiences it... It's very compelling to see the magic before the magic happens."
"SFJAZZ has been throwing its doors open to the public to witness pre-concert soundchecks by top jazz artists."
"At the symphony just down the street, attending an open rehearsal costs $35-$45, making SFJAZZ's free soundchecks a unique opportunity."
"The next open soundcheck is on Thursday, March 6 at 4:30 p.m. with jazz harpist Brandee Younger, making a return to SFJAZZ."
