Experience Julian Lage live on October 19th

Julian Lage is scheduled to perform at Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco on October 19, 2026. Lage is a contemporary jazz guitarist recognized for his distinctive harmonic language and improvisational skills. His style blends elements of traditional jazz with influences from folk, classical, and Americana music, often characterized by lyrical melodies and intricate fingerstyle playing. He rose to prominence as a child prodigy, performing with artists like David Grisman early in his career, and has since established himself as a leading figure in modern jazz guitar.

Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, often simply called Davies Hall, opened in 1980 and serves as the permanent home of the San Francisco Symphony. Designed by architect Donn Barber of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the hall is renowned for its acoustics, specifically its vineyard-style seating arrangement which places the audience closer to the performers. The hall’s design incorporates extensive sound diffusion elements intended to create a rich and immersive listening experience. It has hosted a wide range of performances beyond classical music, including popular artists and events; however it remains primarily dedicated to orchestral performances and acoustic acts due to its sonic properties.
