Artists’ Vocal Ensemble takes a deep look into music of America. From Native Americans to Spanish missionaries to the film industry, our unique geography has shaped a beautiful and soulful tradition. We will celebrate Samuel Barber’s centennial, and discover the power of early-American Shape-note music, the music of Spanish missionaries, and the voice of local composers. This is an opportunity to enjoy a late-winter’s afternoon surrounded by magnificent music.

I'm going to be in S.F. this weekend but the Bob Gurr audio animatronic event on Saturday is sold out.

I guess I need to pay closer attention to these event schedules! I have no idea when they went on sale.

Once they are posted on the site, and tickets are available, you should see a tickets button next to the event. It doesn't look like a button, just says Tickets available online. But, click on that and it will take you to the ticket purchase kiosk.
