Jazz Violinist Christian Howes

Original compositions and arrangements of jazz, rock, and classical tunes with prominent jazz violinist Christian Howes.

Originating as a chamber music jam session at Revolution Cafe in SF's Mission District, the rotating collective of adventurous musicians has performed in such noted Bay Area venues as the deYoung Museum, Great American Music Hall, Freight & Salvage, and The Fillmore.

In the spirit of inclusivity, Classical Revolution has provided a stage for well over one thousand musicians in more than two thousand performance events in the Bay Area alone, almost all of which having been presented with free admission in the effort to bring wider appreciation to classical chamber music.

We are fortunate to be able to have them back at The Annex!
