Directed by accomplished pianist and gospel musician Ken Little, singers from the Community Music Center Bayview Choir and Gospel Music Vocal Ensemble bring a joyous program of gospel, jazz and popular music to the Gardens. The CMC Bayview Choir is one of 15 tuition-free neighborhood choirs that has grown out of collaborations between the Community Music Center and senior/neighborhood centers around San Francisco, providing the many personal, social, artistic and quality-of-life benefits that musical activity can bring to older adults. A long-time collaborator with Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, the Community Music Center is a legendary non-profit institution making high-quality music accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, regardless of financial means.
