{"swEvent":[{"ID":3323,"Event":"San Francisco Choral Society","Description":"<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Join the San Francisco Choral Society's <strong>5th Annual Summer Festival Chorus</strong> for an unforgettable evening of powerful storytelling and theatrical spectacle.<br /><br /> Under the direction of Artistic Director, Robert Geary, the program opens with the world premiere of <em><strong>Three Portraits: Voices of Chinese American Women from Early California</strong></em>, a new work by Eric Tuan commissioned by the San Francisco Choral Society. Based on three firsthand testimonies of Chinese American women living in 19th-century California, the piece brings these remarkable individuals to life through their own words and voices. Through evocative music and vivid storytelling, <em>Three Portraits</em> illuminates lives of resilience, courage, and hope that helped shape California's history.<br /><br /> The concert culminates in a bold semi-staged production of Carl Orff's <em><strong>Carmina Burana</strong></em>, one of the most thrilling works in the choral repertoire. Designed and directed by Rotimi Agbabiaka, this imaginative staging transforms Orff's iconic masterpiece into a dynamic theatrical experience. Fortune's wheel turns relentlessly as lovers yearn, revelers celebrate, and destinies collide in a whirlwind of joy, desire, triumph, and loss.</span></div>","Img_1":"SFChoralBanner2.jpg","FPriority":999,"PerformanceStart":"2026-08-16T02:00:00Z","PerformanceEnd":"2026-08-16T02:00:00Z","ItemType":"E","IsFeatured":1,"InteractiveSeatmapActive":1,"HasStream":0,"isBestSeller":0,"StreamlinedHomePageInfoLine":"","upcomingInfo":{"EventID":3323,"NumUCP":1,"PerfID":16003,"PerfAreaID":0,"EarlyBooking":0,"AccessMemberRestriction":0,"AccessAllowedByMembershipLevel":0}},{"ID":3292,"Event":"2026 Italian Film Festival","Description":"<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">The 2026 Italian Film Festival celebrates is forty-ninth year with six top feature films from Italy!</span></div>","Img_1":"IFFBanner.jpg","FPriority":999,"PerformanceStart":"2026-09-26T23:30:00Z","PerformanceEnd":"2026-11-01T02:00:00Z","ItemType":"E","IsFeatured":1,"InteractiveSeatmapActive":1,"HasStream":0,"isBestSeller":0,"StreamlinedHomePageInfoLine":"","upcomingInfo":{"EventID":3292,"NumUCP":13,"PerfID":0,"PerfAreaID":0,"EarlyBooking":0,"AccessMemberRestriction":0,"AccessAllowedByMembershipLevel":0}},{"ID":3193,"Event":"Barcelona Guitar Trio and Dance","Description":"<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Barcelona Guitar Trio &amp; Dance is an internationally acclaimed ensemble which delivers a captivating tribute to legendary guitarist Paco de Luc&iacute;a.
