The redoubled energy with which classical artists are finally working to broaden the performing repertoire has been a heartening thing to witness. After seemingly endless decades of neglect, there’s been a detectable effort to move the music of female and non-white composers into the spotlight.
The Catalyst Quartet’s “Uncovered” series — four concerts presented over the course of the season by San Francisco Performances — promises a focused exploration of that repertoire, each event in partnership with a different collaborator.
Pianist Stewart Goodyear helps inaugurate the series with a program of chamber music by the Black composers George Walker and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
Catalyst Quartet: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7. $45-$65. Herbst Theatre, 401 Van Ness Ave., S.F. 415-392-2545. www.sfperformances.org
