A very unique and special event was held last night at the Herbst Theatre, in San Francisco, CA. Kirk, on his electric guitar, performed with FLUX, a string quartet, with Saul Gropman on his classic guitar. The melding of Flux's experimental, innovative and aleatoric composition along with Kirk's improvisational skills on the electric guitar made this performance a unique and memorable one.

Flux with Kirk and Saul Gropman

The 50th Anniversary Season begins with an electrifying concert featuring special guest artist, Metallica's Kirk Hammett, performing with FLUX Quartet in a World Premiere collaboration: SAS (for string quartet and improvised electric guitar), a work written by the Quartet's experimental violinist Thomas Chiu. "FLUX and Kirk are a perfect fit for this innovative and aleatoric composition," says Artistic Director Saul Gropman. "FLUX has an "anything goes" spirit, and Kirk's broad improvisational skills bring this piece together as a magical marriage of two styles."
