Bay Area Friendship Band

The Bay Area Friendship Band returns to the Golden Gate Park Band Festival for its fourth year. Led by conductor Adrian L. Quince, our mission is to help community musicians connect with each other and gain exposure to new repertoire.

The Friendship Band is made up of musicians from throughout Northern California, including many from other bands participaring in the festival. Some of the musicians on stage are old friends, while others may have met for the very first time this morning.

Today’s program explores resiliance in the face of adversity. From facing personal challenges to societal injustice, the human ability to endure and thrive never ceases to amaze. Join us as we see how people in many different situations have found strength and hope in the darkest circumstances.

We hope you enjoy today’s performance.
