Week of Music Day One: Preview of Stern Grove


Several weekends stand out.

Local boy Huey Lewis & the News kick off the season onJune 17th.

Two weeks later, on July 1st, the venerable Preservation Hall Jazz Band brings a little N'Awlins jazz to SF.

July, in fact, is a great month at Stern Grove as July 8 is the SF Symphony's turn. The symphony will present some Rossini, Mozart, and Beethoven.

July 15 will feature tropicalia masters Os Mutantes. Along with Gilberto Gil, Tom Ze, and Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes were leaders in the tropicalia movement.

Then, in August, the SF Ballet will be featured on August 12 and the SF Opera will close out the season on August 19. Both those days will likely be highlights, rather than a full ballet or full opera.

For a full list of who is to come go here.

All concerts start at 2 p.m., but get there early!
