Join the musical merriment with noted soprano Marta Johansen and the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra All-Stars: Eugene Chuklov and Elizabeth Choi (violins), Ben Simon (viola), Eugene Sor (cello), and Michel Taddei (double bass). For tonight’s program of chamber music and operatic arias, the audience is sure to be on its feet, cheering “Hi Ho Silver!” especially when they hear the familiar passages of the William Tell Overture.
