About this Event
Love music? Love Glen Park? If the answer to both is “yes,” please join Glen Park Beautiful for a musical tour inspired by the sights and sounds of Glen Park. The abundantly talented musicians of the Lowell Ensemble, whose “gigs” include decades playing for San Francisco’s Grammy-winning opera and ballet orchestras, have gleefully created a musical tour that is sure to delight. Get ready for an adventure where you will travel from George Gershwin to Paul Simon.
This is a benefit concert that will support the work of Glen Park Beautiful, a volunteer, resident-driven effort that seeks to foster the creative spirit of the Glen Park neighborhood. GPB builds upon the successes of the Burnside mural, tiled steps, and Elk Street mural. A current key project is the beautification of the Bosworth Pedestrian Bridge.
The bridge project was conceived just a year ago and promises to deliver a brilliant new gateway to Glen Park. Much has already been accomplished. Dozens of volunteers removed unsanitary conditions on both sides of the bridge and spring will see California native plants sprouting. This past fall community members met with renowned artist, Ross Holzman, to create mosaic designs based on indigenous motifs that will blanket the bridge’s pillars. In April the mosaics will be created by Glen Park School students with installation planned for May, pending meeting funding goals.
The Lowell Ensemble and its guest musicians are generously sharing their talents to support Glen Park Beautiful’s goals. There is no ticket charge, but we hope you will be inspired to contribute.
