Morrison Artists Series: ZOFO Piano Duet
Sunday, December 7, 2014, 3:00 pm
A special Showcase Concert designed to present exceptional young talent from the Bay Area region features San Francisco's dazzling, Grammy-nominated ZOFO. This Steinway Artist Ensemble--one of only a handful of duos devoted exclusively to piano duets--is blazing a bold, new path for piano-four-hands groups by focusing on modern repertoire and by commissioning new works from noted composers each year. "Vibrant, beautifully blended playing."--San Francisco Chronicle. Free.
