Description
It's not too late to experience this macabre, eerie, Halloween concert performed by Northern California's premiere conductorless string orchestra!
Featuring a concerto with musical saw, commanding a price of $14.95 at the local hardware store, but risen to artistic heights by a violin virtuoso. You have to see it to believe it.
The New Century Chamber Orchestra is a unique ensemble and they are presenting a unique concert.
New Century dispenses with the stuffy pretensions of some classical music programs and combines disparate works to showcase their similarities, underscore their differences, or revel in the sheer range of musical possibilities.
Their Halloween show provides chills and thrills with music from the masters.

About the Ticket Supplier: New Century Chamber Orchestra
The New Century Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1992, looks for fresh, exciting new ways to present classical music in the San Francisco Bay Area by combining performances of extraordinary quality with innovative programming. The music director chooses the programs and guides the artistic vision, but the seventeen members of the orchestra perform without a conductor. Musical decisions are made collaboratively, resulting in an enhanced level of commitment on the part of the musicians to concerts of remarkable precision, passion and power.
