The World Premiere of Mysterious Bird will be shown as part of the San Francisco International Film Festival, at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, May 2nd at 3pm.
Gabriela Quintero and Daniel Ho will bring the story to life with a special live performance featuring Yamaha instruments: Gabriela will perform on her custom Yamaha guitar, while Daniel will showcase a prototype acoustic/electric bass he co-designed with Yamaha Senior Acoustic Guitar Builder Andrew Enns, along with a travel drum set he developed with Yamaha Drums Senior Designer Daryl Anderson.
Following the premiere, “Daniel Ho & Friends”, including Saxophonist Bernadette Plazola, will be doing two shows at the San Francisco Jazz Festival (SFJAZZ.org). The first show at 7pm is sold out, but there are still tickets for our 8:30pm show.
