SAN FRANCISCO, CA—With a distinctive sound that resists categorization, Grammy Award-nominated violinist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird makes his debut with the San Francisco Symphony on August 1. Balancing swelling sounds with jazz, folk, and pop melodies in an unforgettable display of unique virtuosity, Bird celebrates the 20th anniversary of his acclaimed record The Mysterious Production of Eggs.
