Celebrate the solstice with music and Grace.
The name TILT refers to the angle of the sun at the summer solstice, the point where the sun appears to reach its highest point in the sky for the year (the word “solstice” combines the Latin words sol for “sun” and sistere for “to stand still”).
TILT is also a different angle on music, an intimate concert in celebration of light, taking place in the marvelous ambiance of Grace Cathedral on the longest day of the year. The Ghiberti Center for Culture, the arts and culture foundation at Grace, presents TILT on Wednesday, June 21.

Efraín Solís
A dramatic and colorful baritone, is an SF Opera Adler Fellow and Merola Opera Program alumnus. The San Francisco Chronicle exclaims, “For theatrical charisma and musical bravado, it would be hard to top his performance.” Opera Today extols his “charm, pent-up fun, and exuberant singing.”
