From a classic Golden Gate Park tradition to Cal Shakes and one Britpop’s biggest bands, there is a lot to see and do in the Bay Area this weekend.
Is there anything more jarringly delightful than stumbling across a huge concert instrument plunked, like a wood-and-metal buffalo, in a verdant meadow? That’s the theme of the Flower Piano festival, which spreads roughly a dozen pianos throughout the San Francisco Botanical Garden and invites anyone from the public to come and play.
The heart of the action takes place in a scenic Flower Piano Lounge, with comfy seating and full-service bars with food and beverages. But visitors are encouraged to walk the garden’s lovely, winding paths, leaving it up to serendipity to stumble across something musically beautiful.Event takes place Friday through Sept. 22 with an opening night performance by Orquesta La Moderna Tradición at the San Francisco Botanical Garden, 1199 9th Ave.
“Different Class” was a particularly big success for the band, going quadruple platinum in the U.K. in large part due to the incredibly popular single “Common People.” After all, the company has for years been a beloved fixture in the summer/fall outdoor theater season, presenting high-quality productions of new and classic plays under the stars at Bruns Amphitheatre, a lovely venue nestled in the scenic Orinda hills.
