San Francisco Band’s Universal Concert

The Universal Language Concert will be led by Matthew Fell the newly appointed Artistic Director of the San Francisco Pride Band on Sunday March 22nd at 3P at Herbst Theatre San Francisco, CA. Fell stated, “I have been blown away not only by the musicianship of the ensemble, but by the community & connections I felt in the group before, during & after rehearsals. The San Francisco Pride Band is deeply engaged in the community & I look forward to being a part of it.” Chris Hewes Board of Directors President concluded, “Matthew’s experience as an educator gives him an understanding of what it means to be a strong LGBTQ+ ally & how to foster a safe, welcoming environment for a diverse group of musicians. We’re so excited to get started on this next chapter for the Concert Band!” Fell chose music for The Universal Language – Winter Community Concert from composers that are rooted in & inspired by human experiences & informed by the links between shape, movement & identity. Music, movement & identity have always been inextricable. Whenever humans are traveling across oceans, toward opportunity or even inward in search of identity & hope music has been part of the process. The program features A Sky So Boundless by Katahj Copley, Shenandoah by Omar Thomas, Of Endless Miles & Empty Rafts by Michele Fernandez & more. " Since 1978 the San Francisco Pride Band provides for the education & musical development of its members, promotes visibility of our LGBTQ communities & with its allies fosters understanding among diverse communities through public performance.
