    Expand your sense of what a single instrument can do with Groupmuse Nights Out, offering discounted tickets to an extraordinary solo recital by flutist Claire Chase at Herbst Theatre on Saturday, April 18 at 7:30 PM. Hailed by The New York Times as “the North Star of her instrument’s ever-expanding universe,” Chase brings fearless imagination and electrifying presence to Density 2036—her groundbreaking, decades-long project to reimagine the future of the flute. This San Francisco Performances debut invites audiences into a bold new sound world where tradition is stretched, reshaped, and reborn.

    Featuring works by visionary composers including Annea Lockwood, Susie Ibarra, Marcos Balter, Du Yun, and Terry Riley (with special guest Sarah Cahill), the program transforms the solo flute into an instrument of astonishing range and color. From meditative textures to pulsing, propulsive energy, each piece opens a new sonic landscape. With Groupmuse Nights Out discounted tickets, this is your chance to experience a boundary-breaking artist live—where innovation, virtuosity, and pure creative force collide in a performance unlike anything you’ve heard before. 🎶✨

    Children 5 and over are welcomed.
