Hard as it may be to believe, not everyone will be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday. Some people will be nowhere near a TV set — really. More than a few will be at Dominican University for the third performance in this year’s Great Concert Series.

Think about it: you could spend way more than the price of a concert ticket in a local bar, watching two teams that don’t come from anywhere near the Bay Area, getting upset over various fumbles and interceptions, and maybe driving home in a bad mood because you didn’t win the pool. Or you could be sitting in a quiet hall, listening to peaceful chamber music by Mozart and Bach, performed by five super musicians from the San Francisco Symphony and elsewhere. And having cookies and coffee with them afterward.

Now in its 10th year, the Great Concert Series is directed by its founder, pianist June Choi Oh, who’s a faculty member at Dominican and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

In addition to its other attractions, you might consider the concert series a job-interview tip. After moving to Corte Madera from Palo Alto, Oh was looking for a faculty job in Marin. During one of her interviews with Craig Singleton, chairman of Dominican’s Department of Music and Performing Arts, Oh said she thought the college ought to have a concert series.

“I had an idea to present chamber music concerts of a high caliber to the community, as well as to students and faculty,” she said, “and at a reasonable price, so you didn’t have to drive to San Francisco and pay two or three times more, plus parking.”

After all her years of studying (at Juilliard), teaching, and performing — including at least once a year at Davies Symphony Hall — she knew she could get world-class musicians to come to San Rafael “because they’re friends.”

Just as people at a reading at Book Passage like having a few minutes with the author and getting a book autographed, the Dominican concertgoers tend to stay afterward for a reception with the artists.

“I wouldn’t call it the most original idea,” Oh says modestly, “but I wanted to create a community (around the performances). I see some of the same people here each time; it feels like a little family. Of course, I’d like to grow the family.”

Sunday’s performers include San Francisco Symphony violinists Sarn Oliver and Mariko Smiley and an S.F. Symphony cellist, Amos Yang; violist Shinya Abe, who lives in Japan and Germany; and Oh. They’ll perform Mozart’s Duo for Violin and Viola No. 2; Bach’s Cello Suite No. 4; Kodali’s Serenade for Two Violins and Viola; and Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E flat major.

There will be two more concerts this season. Musicians from San Francisco’s acclaimed Philharmonia Baroque, which performs on period instruments, will be joined on stage March 27 by Yuko Tanaka, Carmel Bach Festival’s Solo Harpsichordist,  and baritone Craig Singleton, the Chair of the Department of Music and Performing Arts at Dominican. The world-famous St. Lawrence String Quartet appears April 17.

• Sunday, Feb. 6, Guest Concert Series and Meet the Artist reception, 3 p.m.; Angelico Hall, Dominican University, San Rafael; $18 general, $15 seniors, $10 students, free for Dominican students and staff.
