SUMMARY:RIC LOUCHARD (with Lisa Mezzacappa + Jordan Glenn + Joshua Marshall) BJLL DINGALLS (Tom Djll + Bill Hsu + Matt Ingalls)
DESCRIPTION:RIC LOUCHARD is a Bay Area composer\, pianist\, improviser\, writer and story teller. His stories strive to find the universal in the very personal. His music is emotive and\, well\, romantic\, or at least on the Dionysian side of the fence. It tends towards chromaticism\, atonality or quirky tonality. Motivic with sometimes complex rhythms. His musical roots are European classical tradition\, improvisation\, and all the music we’ve all been hearing the last 70 years. Ric is delighted – really delighted – to be playing with LISA MEZZACAPPA\, bass\, JORDAN GLENN\, drums\, and JOSHUA MARSHALL\, saxophones. Ric played these pieces with this same quartet 5 years ago and has always wanted to revisit the music\, make some revisions\, and play and record them again with these fantastic musicians. He is thrilled it is happening. \nIn the blur between acoustic and amplified\, synthetic and analog\, algorhythm and improvisation\, clarity is forged anew only if you look ahead. Swinging serious sonic sledgehammers for a threefold lifetime now\, BJLL DINGALLS [TOM DJLL (trumpet & electronics) + BILL HSU (electronics) + MATT INGALLS (clarinet & electronics)] lay the railroad into terra incognita.

SUMMARY:MEERANAI SHIM + DIANE GRUBBE THE HOLY MARTINS (KASEY KNUDSEN + LORIN BENEDICT + ERIC VOGLER)
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area flutists DIANE GRUBBE and MEERANAI SHIM perform solo and duo works by Robert Dick\, Mario Davidovsky\, Dai Fujikura\, Alyssa Aska\, and The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker. \nTHE HOLY MARTINS is KASEY KNUDSEN (alto saxophone)\, LORIN BENEDICT (voice)\, and ERIC VOGLER (guitar). They have been playing in this configuration for over 15 years\, during which time the group has explored a broad range of composed music (written by them and by others)\, improvised game pieces\, and collective free improvisation. The nucleus of their approach is rooted in the jazz idiom\, writ large\, but the conspicuous absence of a “rhythm section” pushes the team in directions bordering on the altogether unfamiliar. \nPart of the WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES collection

SUMMARY:JOANA HOLANDA + FÁBIO PRESGRAVE / KANOKO NISHI-SMITH + AINE NAKAMURA
DESCRIPTION:Recognized as one the foremost Brazilian musicians of their generation\, FÁBIO PRESGRAVE (cello) and JOANA HOLANDA have been performing versatile and captivating programs with a wide range of aesthetic affiliations. Both musicians are faculty members at Federal University of Natal (UFRN) in Brazil. \nThe duo performs Brazillian-born\, Oakland composer BRUNO RUVIARIO’S Beatriz Suite(2024)\, a 13-movement work written for the duo. Using one the country’s most beloved songs\, Beatriz written by Edu Lobo and Chico Buarque in 1983 for the ballet O Grande Circo Místico (The Great Mystical Circus) as source material\, the work rips apart the original song\, expanding its imagery and emotional landscapes\, cleanly quoting the song as well as transforming it beyond recognition. In addition\, themes from other composers find their way into the work. The duo will also present PAULO CÉSAR VITOR’S short arrangemnt of Beatriz. The concert concludes with Portuguese-born composer JOÃO PEDRO OLIVEIRA’S Enigma (2018)\, a work confronting crossroads\, indecisions and moments of stagnation. To surpass these moments where the creative process seems to “freeze\,” Olivera adds new material based on intuition and chance without logical or rational explanation. It is this mystery\, which is part of composing\, that often revives creative life and makes new ideas flourish. \nThe concert begins with a debut duo performance by AINE NAKAMURA and KANOKO NISHI-SMITH. The two artists recently met in the Bay Area\, and quickly found a shared mission in channeling\, processing and ultimately accepting the complexity and contradictions observed in human nature: the urge to expose and to disguise\, to construct and deconstruct\, to abandon and to protect…seeking and reaching\, through sounding and moving\, beyond language and meanings\, and the physical boundaries of objects and skin\, breaking\, and then mending them. \nPurchase Tickets
