Pacific Pythagorean Music Festival

Come explore the world of natural resonance and pure ratios!

San Francisco’s first festival celebrating 'just intonation’ compositions with an all-star lineup of performers from around the world showcasing experimental and traditional styles!

Although the Bay Area has long been a hotbed of alternate tunings, the Pacific Pythagorean Music Festival is the first local event dedicated to hearing these resonant harmonies. This year's festival "Modes of Changes" highlights Persian scales with the world premiere of Reza Vali's String Quartet No. 5 "Gavesht" with a pre-concert talk on Vali's new alternate tuning music software. Plus a world premiere of Maddie Ashman’s Gravitation

The Del Sol Quartet set will also include the world premiere of Madeline Ashman's "Gravitation." The festival also includes performances by Ken Ueno with Viola Yip, Hafez Modirzadeh with Keshav Batish, & Vân-Ánh Võ.
