Donate to Nomad Session.

Nomad Session is the Bay Area’s first wind and brass octet. It features flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, french horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba … and sometimes the kazoo. Bringing wind instruments to the forefront, Nomad introduces audiences to a new world of musical opportunities by commissioning new pieces, creating inspiring arrangements and exploring innovative performance experiences both on stage and in a park near you.

In keeping with its name, Nomad Session started a series of Pop-Up Concerts where musicians “wander” around local parks and establishments in order to bring music to the community. Recent pop-up performances have taken place in Golden Gate Park, Lake Merritt, Winter Walk SF in Union Square and most recently in Dolores Park.
​
Nomad Session’s first concert series entitled, “Cool Grey City” features a newly commissioned work written by Bay Area composer, Nicolas Benavides, which focuses on the intersection of music and hidden spaces of San Francisco. Each concert will reveal a different movement of this work, and the piece will be unveiled in its entirety at the final performance of this season.
