SUN RA ARKESTRA RETURNS TO SAN FRANCISCO

from the Saturn newsgroup

The Sun Ra Arkestra Directed by Marshall Allen will make its first San Francisco, CA visitation of the new millennium on Saturday, August 3, 2013 when it touches down at the historic Victoria Theater as part of its 2013 World Tour. This appearance adds to the west coast swing that features the Arkestra's first ever landing in the 57 year history of the Arkestra at the world famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, August 4, 2013.

The San Francisco concert will have the Sun Ra Arkestra Directed by Marshall Allen headlining the event, which also includes the sfSoundGroup performing Penderecki's composition for Don Cherry's Jazz Orchestra and Hans Grusel's Krankenkabinet's quartet of strings and electronics. The Sun Ra Arkestra Directed by Marshall Allen will share the bill in Los Angeles with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and also with Oliver Mtukudzi.

Sun Ra Arkestra fans are encouraged to get tickets in advance for its west coast concerts. The Hollywood Bowl is quickly filling its 6,000 seat facility with 17 sections already sold out, 19 sections with single seats only, and 20 sections with available seating. The San Francisco appearance will attract the multitude of Northern California fans that have been enthusiastically requesting that the Arkestra's return to their area.
