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.
