The KDFC Salon Series

Edward Simon

This season, we’re honored to have Edward Simon serve as curator of our Salons, as we re-introduce this series in a new venue. A native of Venezuela, Simon has made a name for himself over decades in America as a jazz improviser, composer-arranger and band leader. Based in San Francisco as a member of the all-star SFJAZZ Collective, he has put together four programs that explore the music of Latin America, featuring performances with other Bay Area artists.

Join us as this popular series returns in its new location at the Education Studio in the War Memorial Veterans Building.
