The Golden Gate Park Band performed various songs from Mexico alongside a dance ensemble in honor of the band’s 143rd anniversary on Sunday. The band performs heritage-based concerts to collaborate with the diverse ethnic and arts organizations in San Francisco. The local band, which formed in 1882 and comprises 30 members, performs a free, 90-minute concert at Golden Gate Park every Sunday from April through September. Karla Kvam, the band’s board of directors’ vice president, said the band is a gem in the community of San Francisco. “We are the oldest musical ensemble in the state of California and one of the oldest, most continuously performing ensembles,” said Kvam, who considers himself an advocate for the Latin American community. 🔗 Read the full story at link in bio ✍️ & 📸 : Paul Singh (pboi_singh) #sfsu #sfstate #goldengatepark #goldengateparkband #sanfrancisco
