Opening Night Welcome
A Moment to Raise a Glass & Say Hello!
Location: Gallery 308, Building A
Ticket Information: FREE with Opening Night ticket
Every year the Festival applies for work visas for the international artists that we want to introduce to the American public. This enables them to travel to the United States to participate in our program. We use opening night as an occasion to welcome these groups to the Festival. Therefore, we invite everyone attending one or more of our opening night concerts to join us to say hello to our guests, raise a glass and thank them for making the journey to San Francisco to share their creativity and cultural insights with us.
