Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Yerba Buena Gardens Festival will partner with composer Marcus Shelby for the creation and premiere of “Blues in the City.” This musical suite will spotlight how San Francisco’s most vulnerable lives–the homeless, the poor, and BIPOC communities–have been drastically impacted by the pandemic.

Organization Summary

YBG Festival presents classical, world, and jazz music, contemporary and traditional dance, theater, children’s and family programs, and cultural events reflecting the rich cultures and creativity of the region. Artistic excellence, inclusion, diversity and innovation are at the heart of our mission. As the only curated arts park fully dedicated to the long-term presentation of free arts and cultural programs, Yerba Buena Gardens has a unique place in the cultural landscape of San Francisco.

Note: YBGF is not affiliated with YBCA (Yerba Buena Center for the Arts). There is no overlap between the two entities.
