Beth Schenck Trio (9:00pm-10:00pm)

Beth Schenck is a San Francisco based saxophonist, composer and educator. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2013, Beth has become a distinguished performer in the West Coast jazz, improvised and chamber music scenes. Beth’s music has been described by critics as “frank and beautiful,” “reliably enthralling” and “transporting”. As a composer, Beth has written music for the Sunset Jazz Festival (Nagasaki, Japan), Women’s Work Festival (New York City), Outsound Summit (SF), Silla Festival (Korea) and schools in NYC, LA and SF. In addition to her performance and composition career, Beth is the Director of Performing Arts at the San Francisco Day School, where she also leads the jazz band. Her dedication to jazz education extends to her role as the middle school representative for the California Alliance for Jazz, where she advocates for jazz education statewide.

It is with great anticipation that we welcome Beth for her debut…
