Free Afternoon Jazz in Golden Gate Park

 
Trombonist Angela Wellman performs on Sunday, October 14 in Golden Gate Park
 

For the second consecutive year, Intersection for the Arts and the de Young Museum join forces to present eight free family-friendly outdoor Sunday concerts at the museum's sculpture garden, featuring some of the most exciting Bay Area jazz musicians performing newly-commissioned compositions.

All eight concerts take place at 2 pm Sundays at the de Young Museum Sculpture Garden/Café in San Francisco's historic Golden Gate Park.

Intersection for the Arts is San Francisco's oldest alternative art space, and provides a place where provocative ideas, diverse art forms, artists and audiences can intersect one another. The "Jazz at Intersection" program and concert series was introduced in 1999.

Founded in 1895, the de Young Museum has been an integral part of the cultural fabric of the city and a cherished destination for millions of residents and visitors to the region for over 100 years. In 2005, the de Young re-opened in a state-of-the-art new facility that integrates art, architecture and the natural landscape in one multi-faceted destination.
