When: Friday, April 6th, and Saturday, April 7th, at 8 P.M.
Where: Davies Symphony Hall
Why: You may have never known that the Mozart Amadeus your great great great great great grandparents knew and loved was actually a punk ass prodigy who disrupted (in a good way) the music scene in Vienna awhile back.

The film Amadeus won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. // 201 Van Ness Avenue, Hayes Valley, tickets here.
