Join us for an evening of music, learning and friends as we explore the the work of David Conte, a composer in San Francisco, and two of his students – Eric Choate and Ericsson Hatfield. The recital is possible through generosity of Doctor Bing Liem, our friend and supporter of art and music. The performance will feature discussions given by the composers in attendance, talking about their creative process and how they have learned from each other over the course of their career.
