  • First United Methodist 625 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, CA, 94301 United States (map)

The rollout of an exciting new concert format, Maestro Ben Simon becomes your host for a 90-minute, no intermission variety show.  Think of it as a cross between the podcasts Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me and Live From Here with games, prizes, Ben’s famous trivia quiz, and of course, great music. Featuring a host of SFCO All-Stars, this engaging program will feature variations on familiar themes by Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, and more. With special guest Anthony Lane, luthier
