The sextet with guest artists DESTANI WOLF & ADRIÁN ARÍAS

The San Francisco International Arts Festival presents “The Afro Cuban Ensemble of San Francisco State University, a 25 Year Retrospective.” This is a milestone celebration of the ensemble under its founder and director Dr. John Calloway, with live music from current and former members. Panel facilitator Luis Medina of KPFA radio will interview John about the ensemble’s formation, mission, history and numerous accomplishments, using photos, videos and recordings as artifacts. Many of the ensemble’s former students as well as John’s colleagues will be asked to share their memories and recollections as well. But for sure, live music will be a main feature of the presentation!
