For one night only at Grace Cathedral, SERENE returns to San Francisco, opening her 2025 Ravel Marathon Project to celebrate the composer’s 150th anniversary. Involving some of the most infamously difficult pieces in all of the piano literature, along with some of the most profoundly beautiful – come enjoy an evening of Ravel masterpieces.

In a remarkably short time, Serene has not only established herself as a formidable creative force with an international following, but has also become a beacon of inspiration for the next generation of classical musicians and listeners, bridging gaps between the traditional and the cutting-edge.

Recently, SERENE presented her debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus with two piano concertos in one evening (Rachmaninoff + Scriabin). In addition to performing broad repertoire with notable orchestras, she enjoys collaborations across all genres, whether composition for Kanye West’s Opera, as premiered at Lincoln Center & at Art Basel; or bringing a music-tech EEG+AI performance with Grimes, or composing cyberpunk music for a VR Bladerunner exhibit at the Academy Museum, or her groundbreaking work programming and performing alongside robots at a fusion energy facility, Serene’s artistic vision extends far beyond traditional boundaries.

SERENE is a Bösendorfer Artist.

Described as a “spectacle to match the New York Philharmonic,” “Serene’s magnetic performances cannot be truly appreciated without seeing them in person.

Program selections from the following repertoire:

Gaspard de la nuit

La Valse

Le Tombeau de Couperin

Miroirs  

and more!
