Freight favorite (and SF Opera Concertmaster) Kay Stern joins SFCO Music Director Ben Simon for a selection of short, delightful string duos by the 20th century Hungarian master Béla Bartók. These folk songs and dances (most are under one minute long) represent Slovakia, Rumania, Ukraine, Serbia and north Africa as well as Hungary, all sources of inspiration for Bartók’s larger works.

Classical at the Freight brings in some of the Bay Area’s best classical musicians for an hour of outstanding chamber music in an informal, friendly atmosphere. San Francisco Chamber Orchestra music director Ben Simon hosts. There’s no stuffiness, no mystification, just an invigorating evening with gifted musicians sharing the beauty and joy of this timeless art with new audiences of all ages.
