It’s a wrap!

Our first in-person event since Feb 2020 was a big success, raising much-needed funds to support the 2022 Klein Competition.  Strings a la carte  honored our 2021 Arts Champions, Katherine & Roy Bukstein at Cha Chi Ming Hall, San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s intimate recital hall in the new Bowes Center on Dec 11, 2021.

 

 

The afternoon’s highlight was a chamber performance from Klein First Prize laureates Gabrielle Després (2020), Yuchen Lu (2021) and Oliver Herbert (2015), with pianist Allegra Chapman.
