Data note: Active 30-day window: June 16 – July 15, 2026. This pass rechecked official SF Symphony, Stanford, Chamber Music San Francisco, and SFCM sources. Program details marked TBA were not yet published at update time; verify directly with venues before attending.

Window note: The visible date-range metadata rolled forward to the exact June 16 – July 15, 2026 window. The active four-card set remained unchanged, and no new high-confidence violin listing entered on July 15.

SFCM / CMSF / Stanford note: Chamber Music San Francisco's public site has already rolled forward to its 2027 season pages and does not surface a July 15, 2026 Bay Area violin listing, Stanford's official upcoming-events checks did not surface a violin-centered July 15 listing, and the official SFCM July 2026 calendar path did not expose an additional in-window violin recital or masterclass worth adding.

SF Symphony note: Official source checks still support the remaining set: the June 20 / June 24 SF Symphony community chamber appearances, the June 28 Davies Hall chamber program, and the July 1 Mendelssohn 5 and Bruch Violin Concerto. Search-grounded summer-season follow-up places the next SF Symphony violin-soloist item at the Geneva Lewis dates on July 16–17, outside this active window.

Linking note: No new program-link batch was needed in this pass. Existing Chrome-manual YouTube links remain in place for the published June 28 and July 1 repertoire, while the June 20 North Beach and June 24 Sunset community cards still rely on official SF Symphony materials because stable public library event pages were not available in this pass.
