SAN FRANCISCO (September 2, 2026) – San Francisco Contemporary Music Players opens its 2026–27 concert season, LUMINOUS REFRACTIONS, on Saturday, October 3, at 7:30 p.m. at Brava Theater with Bay Bridges, a program devoted to composers who live and work in the Greater Bay Area, together with one composer who played an important role in shaping the region’s celebrated new-music tradition.
Brian wants you to go out and hear live events more often.
He’s built a free tool for you to use.
The Bay Area has an amazing live music and event scene — and so does Santa Cruz, just over the hill. Don’t sit at home, don’t go to the same-old, GET OUT THERE.
This is a very inclusive list of over 400 sources and venues across the bay area and Santa Cruz County, and all their events.
