A panoply of composers will assemble for the 29th Other Minds Festival in San Francisco, an international annual showcase for composers held at the Brava Theater Thursday–Sunday, October 16–19, 2025. Join us for multi-generational musical connections, multimedia masterpieces, and contrasting takes on the fusion of gamelan and American musical traditions.
On Night 2, composer Samuel Adams will present a set of solo and chamber pieces performed by Friction Quartet, violinist Helen Kim, percussionist Haruka Fujii, and pianists Conor Hanick and Sarah Cahill. Adams’ piece commissioned by Cahill, which will receive its world premiere, is a tribute to his mentor Ingram Marshall (1942–2022), who is also represented on the program with a performance of Dark Waters for English horn by Libby Van Cleve.
