SFCM Roots, Jazz, and American Music | San Francisco Conservatory of Music | TEDxSonomaCounty

Roots, Jazz, and American Music is a first-of-its-kind program that links a world-class music conservatory to an award-winning jazz concert venue at SFJAZZ. Performers are collegiate students at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music: Knox Barber, double bass; Julian Archer, percussion; Spencer Hoefert, guitar; Jayden Clark and Aidan Siemann, saxophones. At the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, we give students the framework and foundation to succeed throughout their studies and careers, creating a path of lifelong learning. Our core mission is to transform our students: artistically, intellectually, professionally, and individually. Our focus is our students, and through an innovative and unique experience, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music prepares its graduates for a lifetime of achievement and success.
The musicians for TEDxSonomaCounty are compiled of students from SFCM’s Roots, Jazz, and American Music department, a first-of-its-kind program that links a world-class music conservatory to an award-winning jazz concert venue and its resident all-star ensemble. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
