SummerFest turns 40— and the celebration has never sounded better! For four exhilarating weeks, The Conrad comes alive with 21 concerts, 50+ free community events, and over 100 world‑class musicians from around the globe.
Led by Music Director Inon Barnatan, SummerFest showcases unforgettable performances in the acclaimed Baker‑Baum Concert Hall where “every concert is an event” (San Francisco Classical Voice).
This milestone season explores music shaped by history, and the moments that reshaped music itself. From iconic masterpieces to intimate jazz sets, bold premieres, and inspired collaborations, SummerFest continues to make history.
