Meetup dinner before 8 p.m. performance moved from the Arlequin Cafe to Ristorante Allego, 406 Gough at Hayes. Run by Turks, the menu is Italian. No reviews in yet, but I don't think it will make the foodies list of top restaurants. It works for us because there is room, it is quiet, and entrees are in the teens.
The San Francisco Symphony teams with two exciting young artists on a journey through one of the world's most mesmerizing musical cultures. The dynamic Alondra de la Parra leads the Orchestra in the captivating overture to Mikhail Glinka's opera Ruslan and Ludmila Modest Mussorgsky's timeless Pictures at an Exhibition. Joyce Yang, critically acclaimed as "the most gifted pianist of her generation," offers a true Russian classic: Rachmaninoff's impassioned Third Piano Concerto.
I have purchased six discounted tix in the First Tier for meetup members. They have now all been purchased, so I have removed the Buy Now button. Tickets were still available from Goldstar.
