SF’s Community Music Center hosts open house at expanded Mission campus

San Francisco’s 103-year-old Community Music Center will celebrate the grand opening of its expanded main campus in the Mission District with a music-filled ribbon-cutting ceremony on Feb. 21 and an open house with free classes, jam sessions and outdoor music for adults and children on Feb. 25.  

“The ribbon-cutting is going to be a really special moment for our community to reflect on the history of CMC and to celebrate,” says CMC executive director Julie Rulyak Steinberg. “We’ll have music from our faculty, Marcus Shelby with the CMC Teen Jazz Orchestra, and the Curtis Family C-Notes, and we’ll have the mayor and our supervisor—folks who will be signifying that CMC is entering its new era.
