Meet the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra's new composer-in-residence, Gabriela Lena Frank, as she performs Shotakovich's powerful Piano Quintet with principal players from the SFCO, including concertmaster Robin Sharp and music director Ben Simon on viola. A composer whose works incorporate South American mythology and folk music into western classical forms, Gabriela's live piano performances are "captivating" and "splendidly realized" San Francisco Classical Voice and the Raleigh-Durham Spectator.

Classical at the Freight brings the Bay Area's best classical musicians to the Freight for an hour of top-flight chamber music in an informal, friendly atmosphere. San Francisco Chamber Orchestra music director Benjamin Simon is your host; his goal is to un-stuffify and de-mystify classical music for the general music lover, sharing the joys and rewards of this timeless art with new audiences young and old.
