SAN FRANCISCO
Explore. Experience. Enjoy. Those are the three commandments when visiting San Francisco.
The city somersaults over a series of hills, every one holding a surprise. Whether starting at Union Square or Fisherman's Wharf, aboard a cable car or afoot, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge or visiting Chinatown, standing atop Nob Hill or Twin Peaks, you will discover unique vistas, Victorian homes, ethnic enclaves and historic treasures sure to keep you enthralled.
Imagine your group performing in the gothic Grace Cathedral or the modern St. Mary's Cathedral, learning in a workshop at Stanford University Music Department, performing at Ghirardelli or Union Squares, participating in a Mass at historic Mission Dolores, or sharing a concert at a local school.
The National Festival of the States can make these possible for your performing ensemble! Participating groups are chosen on the basis of recommendation from state and national music educators, governors' and senators' offices and by audition. Selected groups perform in prestigious venues with maximum audience potential.
Everyone should experience San Francisco - and the very best performing groups can, through the expertise of Music Celebrations International!
