"The event," he adds "will feature performances from members of top Bay Area ensembles such as Philharmonia Baroque, the Oakland Symphony, Opera San Jose, the Peninsula Symphony, and the Friction Quartet. Student musicians from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the Harker School, and the Vivace Youth Chorus will also perform."

Earlier this year, the USC Radio Group, the number one classical music radio station network in the nation, announced the launch of Classical California, the umbrella brand under which KUSC Los Angeles and KDFC San Francisco will operate. The KDFC Kids Discovery Day is just one of many live events that the USC Radio Group plans to host in 2022 and into next year.
"Our vision behind Classical California is to deepen community engagement through events that allow us to nurture a love of classical music among more diverse communities and age groups. These live events help us share the beauty and companionship of classical music with people that might not otherwise tune in to our traditional channels and we anticipate strong interest and an excellent turnout," Lueth adds.
Online reservations are highly recommended and those interested can sign up at KDFC.com.
General admission will be free for all attendees - both online reservations and day of walk-ups. Admission is typically a $100 value for a family of four. Your free admission on Kids Discovery Day includes all The Interactive's exhibitions, including Solve for Earth and Body Worlds Decoded. (IMAX films excluded.)
