# Event Details - **Event Name**: Classical Gets Weird! - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 05 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 05 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Featuring: Mikaela Davis, Holly Bowling & One Found Sound QuintetAbout this EventClassical music taught the Dead to think big: to layer sounds, build tension, create space, and let a piece unfold like a journey. They took that sense of orchestration and structure and brought it into the world of improvisation. For the Dead, the jam could be a symphony, with fewer rules and a lot more room to wander.At age 4, Phil Lesh's ear was piqued by Johannes Brahms's First Symphony as it played on his grandmother's radio. “I knew right away that I wanted that, whatever it was,” Phil said in a 2008 interview with Michael Muckian. “It just flattened me against the wall. I ended up listening to the whole symphony.”From Phil's first gig as a violinist in a Berkeley youth symphony to his monumental contributions to music with Grateful Dead and Phil Lesh & Friends, his work drew inspiration from Luciano Berio, John Coltrane, Charles Ives, Gustav Mahler, and many more.But this influence goes both ways. Members of Phil Lesh & Friends are joined today by members of One Found Sound, a San Francisco-based orchestra focused on making classical music an exciting, barrier-free space. Throughout the show, the band and One Found Sound explore how Phil's creative legacy equally inspires classical musicians to feel the music as a jam: a space where all are welcome, and where we all have a lot more room to wander.Please join us for the next part of a special concert series celebrating the the , throughout the run of the Forever Grateful, Golden Gate Park exhibit.Photo Credits: Bob Minkin (@minkinphotography) https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/3be95900-bb8c-11f1-9913-21574437e213-rimg-w506-h740-dc080828-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/classical-gets-weird/100002001420392270 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, concerts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: All Ages - Doors Open At: 6:00 PM - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: San Francisco County Fair Building - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 44.43, max: 44.43, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: San Francisco County Fair Building - **lat**: 37.7664355 - **long**: -122.4670351 - **full address**: San Francisco County Fair Building, 1199 9th Avenue, San Francisco, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Classical Gets Weird! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/2b7c5a61c36bc1940fa746d4c56ea43aa3b2089815a556bff0c2fc308c1c318e-rimg-w1200-h600-dc181818-gmir.jpg?v=1789976944 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Classical Gets Weird! being held? - **A:** Classical Gets Weird! takes place on Mon, 05 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Mon, 05 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm at San Francisco County Fair Building, 1199 9th Avenue, San Francisco, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Classical Gets Weird!? - **A:** Classical Gets Weird! is organized by Haight Street Art Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
