The hall and duo piano were terrific. The first half of the program was great, but the second half was impossible to sit through so I left.Written on Jul 07 2008

What an amazing performance! I learned about the event through my weekly Goldstar summary, and being an aspiring pianist, decided to attend. I'm so glad I did. I had no idea there were so many wonderful piano duos. And to see the amazing double piano was frosting on the cake. I'm looking forward to the 3rd International Piano Duo Festival.Written on Jul 07 2008

ABOUT US
Sfmf was conceived and founded in 2002 by Bay Area performing artists and teachers, Catherine & Anthony Angelo, "The Angelo Piano Duo." Alumni of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the Angelo Duo has performed in California, the Pacific North West, Australia, England, Italy, Russia, Ukraine and the Baltic States. Influenced by their experiences performing at international piano duo festivals in Europe and Russia, the Sfmf founders' vision is to establish a San Francisco-based international festival that will capture the spirit of these overseas festivals and highlight the seldom-heard piano duo genre. Sfmf was formally launched as a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization in 2003 with an 8-member board of directors and support from The Ross McKee Foundation and community support of many individual donors. Sfmf has been fortunate to also have in-kind corporate support from the JB Piano Company in San Rafael and the Grotrian Piano Company in Germany with sponsorship of the new Duo Grand piano for Sfmf concerts.
