Marin Symphony: First Fusion with Bob Weir
Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime performance by rock icon and Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir (and friends) playing Grateful Dead music with the Marin Symphony Orchestra. The concert features Grateful Dead songs orchestrated and arranged for the first time by noted composer-arranger Dr. Giancarlo Aquilanti of Stanford University and Bob Weir.
Dr. Aquilanti and Weir collaborate on symphonic arrangements for the Grateful Dead repertoire and many Grateful Dead classics will be played during the program. The program ends with Weir along with his rock musicians, including Jeff Chimenti, Jay Lane, Robin Sylvester and Rob Wasserman, playing improvisational pieces with Symphony musicians and the Grammy winning Quartet San Francisco.
This benefit performance supports Marin Symphony education, outreach and performance programs.
