Event Description

Intense, beautiful, and totally unpredictable, our wildly popular—and wildly unique—SoundBox series delivers expanded live music experiences that push the envelope in fearless ways.

Mystical and enchanting, fierce and unforgiving. Lose yourself in expansive soundscapes punctuated with Nordic accents. Violinist, conductor, and SF Symphony Collaborative Partner Pekka Kuusisto joins forces with leading Swedish composer/inventor/developer Jesper Nordin to curate a SoundBox show traversing time and traditions.
