Musicians of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra will host a companion
piece to Wagner's Ring Cycle with very special guest, jazz composer and
pianist Dr. Valerie Capers. This unique performance features Dr. Capers
on the piano with her musical collaborator, bassist John Robinson III,
along with members of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra. Dr. Capers will
also share her reflections on Wagner and the influence his mighty Ring
Cycle has had on her jazz composition. Wagner Takes the "A" Train is a
meeting of musical styles guaranteed to please both opera devotees and
jazz lovers. Don't miss it! (Seating is limited.)
All proceeds for this event benefit the African American Composers
Initiative, dedicated to commissioning and presenting the work of
African American composers, past and present. For more information on

Sincerely,
LaDoris Cordell, Jodi Gandolfi, Deanne Tucker and all the musicians of AACI
