Thursday Night
Performance: Mercury Soul & SF Opera
An epic musical spectacle featuring DJ sets, opera arias, and classical selections, framed by the iconic architecture of the Asian Art Museum.
Thursday, October 16:
- The hybrid electronica-classical ensemble Mercury Soul, joined by performers from the SF Opera, fills Samsung Hall, the East West Bank Art Terrace, and more with immersive sound and spectacle. The night’s production includes excerpts from “The Monkey King,” a newly commissioned opera by Huang Ruo based on the 16th-century Chinese novel “Journey to the West.”
-
The Asian Art Museum’s striking architecture becomes a canvas for immersive visual projections from Mark Johns in this one-night-only journey through centuries of artistic heritage.
-
Hear musical compositions from Huang Ruo, Verdi, de Falla, prodigy Yangfan Xu, and more, interspersed with sets by DJ Masonic (composer Mason Bates) and DJ Justin Reed (illmeasures Chicago).
On the third Thursday of each month, try something new with an eclectic range of Asian and Asian American artists, DJs, performers, and more.
