SUMMARY:Nathan Clevenger with Jordan Glenn\, Cory Wright\, Danishta Rivero\, and Ari Brown.- Fornax Linteum: Andrew Joron\, Joseph Dee Bradshaw\, and Janel Wagner.
DESCRIPTION:Oakland musicians Nathan Clevenger\, Jordan Glenn\, and Cory Wright share a long and entwined history of collaboration across various projects\, including Wiener Kids\, Ashen Cleric\, and Fellow Hominids. Formed in 2021\, the trio has released 3 albums and initiated a series of collaborations with guest artists\, including Kasey Knudsen\, Crystal Pascucci\, Phillip Greenlief\, Marié Abe\, and Safa Shokrai. Working from\, between\, and against Clevenger’s compositional frames and utilizing the multi-instrumental flexibility of each player\, the trio (and guests) weaves between non-idiomatic improvisation and often gnomic composed material\, with a focus on spaciousness and timbral detail. For tonight’s performance\, the trio is joined by vocalist Danishta Rivero and trumpeter Ari Brown. \nFornax Linteum is a free-improvisation trio consisting of Andrew Joron (theremin)\, Joseph Dee Bradshaw (guitar)\, and Janel Wagner (voice). Andrew Joron is a theremin player who has performed in a variety of experimental and jazz ensembles\, including the duo Fornax Linteum\, the free-improvisation quartet Ouroborous\, and Evidence Trio. Joseph Dee Bradshaw is a guitarist and improviser based in Oakland. Janel Wagner is a classically trained vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist rooted in jazz and folk traditions.

SUMMARY:An Intimate Evening of Sitar with Pandit Partha Bose and Sudhakar Vaidyanathan on tabla
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear internationally acclaimed sitarist Pandit Partha Bose in an intimate setting during his 2026 U.S. tour. A master of North Indian classical music\, Bose creates performances that unfold from quiet\, meditative beauty into dazzling improvisation and exhilarating rhythmic energy. \nThrough the expressive voice of the sitar\, he invites listeners into the rich tradition of Indian raga\, where each performance develops spontaneously\, and no two concerts are ever the same. Subtle melodic phrases gradually expand into intricate musical conversations\, building in intensity and momentum before reaching a thrilling conclusion. \nWhether you are already passionate about Indian classical music or discovering the sitar for the first time\, this promises to be a captivating and memorable evening—an opportunity to experience an artist up close and share in music created uniquely for this moment. \nPandit Partha Bose\nPartha Bose’s musical journey began in 1968\, when\, at the age of six\, he started studying sitar with Guru Pandit Monoj Shankar of the Maihar Gharana in Kolkata\, India. What began as a hobby soon developed\, through intensive training\, rigorous practice\, and dedication\, into a distinguished professional career with worldwide recognition. \nThrough performances at major music festivals on five continents\, lecture-demonstrations and workshops at renowned universities\, and teaching students across geographical borders\, Partha has become a widely traveled musician with a wealth of experience. His artistry carries forward the celebrated “Maihar Magic” associated with masters such as Ravi Shankar and Nikhil Banerjee. \nPartha has received the Nikhil Banerjee Memorial Award and the titles Sangeet Ratna and Vadya Shiromani. He views these honors as “constant reminders to strive harder in search of excellence.” \nFor Partha Bose\, music is a “language of the soul that reminds us of our shared humanity.” \nSudhakar Vaidyanathan (tabla) \nSudhakar Vaidyanathan began his training in tabla under Shri Satish Tare at the age of 8. He has been continuing his training with Padma Shri Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri for the past 10+ years. He is a well established accompanist and soloist in the Bay Area. He has had the fortune of performing at many prestigious venues and festivals such as Davies Symphony Hall (San Francisco)\, BRM Ragas Live Festival\, Festival of Tabla\, and is a regular performer at the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael\, CA and across the Bay Area. He has also collaborated closely with the Chitresh Das Institute\, playing multiple shows with their dance company across America

SUMMARY:Domi + Kaitlin McSweeney + K. Francis Messer.Ken Ueno + Matt Ingalls.
DESCRIPTION:Domi\, Kaitlin McSweeney\, and K. Francis Messer are an experimental trio blending electro-acoustic composition and improvisation with prepared drums\, scrap metal\, cello\, movement\, voice\, amplifiers\, and salvaged resonant objects. Out of a receptive summoning\, distinct voices emerge and impress upon each other\, moving with and in contrast\, interpenetrating and gravitating toward a common orbit of evolving conditions. The trio welcomes sonic feedback as a fourth collaborator\, with elements of ritualistic repetition and deep listening. \nFor over a decade\, the duo of Ken Ueno (vocals) and Matt Ingalls (clarinet) has presented its unique arsenal of extended techniques\, creating an experience that defies classical expectations of the sounds that can be made with voice and clarinet. Composer\, vocalist\, and sound artist Ueno is a recipient of the Rome Prize and the Berlin Prize and is currently a professor at UC Berkeley. He sings overtones\, multiband multiphonics\, and subtones\, and employs throat singing. Oakland-based Ingalls’ clarinet techniques include circular breathing\, multiphonics\, various breath effects\, and a unique hybrid-timbre polyphonic effect.
