Classical Revolution

Connected as Charith Premawardhana (3096 friends)

For the past 4 years Classical Revolution has been presenting live chamber music events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
All of our events are presented free or cheap in venues that are more accessible than your typical concert hall setting.
Our audiences love being able to hear high quality chamber music live and up close in neighborhood bars and cafes!

We currently average 10-15 performance events each month in such wide ranging venues as cafes, bars, jazz clubs, parks, backyards, living rooms, piano shops, schools, museums, churches, and more.

Over 400 different musicians have participated in over 500 Classical Revolution in the SF Bay Area.
Our musicians love having the opportunity to perform for a young audience in alternative venues.

The idea of Classical Revolution has spread and active chapters are alive in Portland, Chicago, Madison, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, South Florida, Toronto, and Berlin.
We will soon be opening new chapters in Atlanta, Boulder, and Houston!!
