The Marin Symphony is asking you to help compose a new piece of music about the Golden Gate Bridge! The Symphony and composer Rob Kapilow will join forces with local media outlets, schools and non-profits to gather stories and feedback about the Golden Gate Bridge. The project will culminate in two concerts, one on each side of the Bridge, premiering the new composition commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge in May of 2012.

Over the course of one year the Symphony will engage the community on a one-of-a-kind project, where YOU will determine the shape of a new piece of music!

Composer Rob Kapilow will be listening to your stories and experiences about the Golden Gate Bridge. “What does the Golden Gate Bridge sound like?” the Marin Symphony wants to know. There’s a symphony right there if you only listen to it, referring to the foghorn, the tires on the pavement, the wind and more.

Do you want to share your stories about the bridge? We are accepting your videos, pictures, sound clips, poems and comments right on our Facebook Page! To submit your experience, simply Share it with us on our wall, or email us at greatmusic@marinsymphony.org.
