 Paul Simon is coming to San Francisco for one of the biggest charity events of the year.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will headline this year´s Black & White ball, a biennial charity event that raises money for the San Francisco Symphony ´s education program. Simon will play with his band, and also with the Symphony in a Davies Hall performance —a Black & White Ball first.
