Jack Hirschman\, Emeritus Poet Laureate of San Francisco. \nPeruvian first generation immigrant Anaís Azul (they/them) is a California Based singer-songwriter\, composer\, and teaching artist. Described as “stunningly honest and vulnerable\,” their artistry engages with music as a tool for community building\, cross-genre collaboration\, and collective healing. \nAzul writes music that is in conversation with jazz harmony\, classical melodies\, and Latin American singer-songwriter traditions. Their songs are bilingual (Spanish and English) and about mental health\, queerness\, facing harsh realities and finding inner peace in spite of chaos. Press highlights include a feature on Remezcla\, NPR\, WBUR\, and Berkeleyside for their work not only as a performer\, but as a community arts organizer. \nClassically-trained with an experimental spirit\, Azul received their B.M in Music Composition and Theory from Boston University with a concentration in piano. Having composed and arranged for theatre and orchestra\, Azul composed the music for the award-winning Displaced: A Response to Qurban produced by the Boston Conservatory at Berklee.

Pulling from her roots in the cultural hotbed of San Francisco\, Amelia not only plays music from the repertoire but reprises them and creates originals. Latin American music\, jazz and classical are all genres that she touches but her music defines its own path. \nA San Francisco native\, she began her lessons on a lever harp\, at the age of 9\, with Diana Stork\, who inspired early compositions\, improvisation and playing in a variety of youth ensembles\, including the Bay Area Youth Harp Ensemble.  She graduated from the San Francisco School of the Arts High School\, performing Laura Zaerrs’ Celtic Concerto\, and releasing her first solo album\, Seeking Peace\, in her senior year.   \nAmelia earned a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Field Studies at U.C. Berkeley in 2010\, with a thesis examining the legacy of the South Africa apartheid.  She continued her harp studies while an undergraduate\, with Dr. Cheryl Ann Fulton.  She spent 2010-2011 at Ntonga Music School in Gugulethu Township\, Cape Town\, South Africa\, sponsored by the Playing for Change Foundation.  South Africa deeply shaped her musical creativity  and desire to re-conceive her sound. With her return to the S.F. Bay Area in 2011\, she took up the electric harp and formed StringQuake\, (2012) and Luminance\, (2016).  She released two full length albums with StringQuake: Take 15 and Cascade\, and two EP’s with the Luminance Ensemble. Luminance in 2018 and Late Dawn in 2021. \nCurrently pursuing an undergraduate and masters degree in classical lever harp performance at San Francisco State University\, studying with pedal harp instructor\, Karen Gottlieb\, she finds deep satisfaction composing and arranging for her chamber music ensembles – forging new sounds and directions in the global lever harp community. \n \nDan Cantrell and the Dainty Krakens \nSmote by song \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nThe Dainty Krakens perform traditional songs and music from the Middle East\, the Levant\, Balkan Folk tradition\, Romany Diaspora and Sephardic singing tradition. Their original songs and music reflect the merging of ideas and cultures from their areas of study and mastery but also combine to form a new living tradition rich with reflections into the past but strong with hope for harmonious new blending. These humble monsters are always looking for the love\, beauty\, and fun in music\, and revel in the discovery of new crossroads that tie us all together in song and spirit. They will be joined by the cuddly Cthulhu of dancing\, Elizabeth Strong\, who’s deadly undulations smite the eyes and gently join the fight for beauty and harmonious exploration. \nFeaturing: \nDan Cantrell – accordion\, piano and voice \nRachel Valfer Sills – oud and voice \nFaisal Zedan – percussion and voice \nElizabeth Strong – dance  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nAccordionist/pianist/saw player Dan Cantrell is an Emmy winning composer known for his innovative and energetic approach to documentary film and television scoring.

Born to a family of esteemed musicians\, she began studying music at the age of 6.

This means my work is often driven by subject matter that I have personal experience with; subjects from my daily life that challenge me. Paper trash\, found objects\, and site-specific materials become important in my work because of the experiences they reference. In public works\, I produce images with the materials brought to the project by participants\, and the result is the product of some form of dialogue. In my paintings and sculptures\, the materials are borrowed from everyday life and are transformed\, or are represented as subject matter. In either case\, I enjoy finding meaning in the little bits of refuse that are leftover from my daily life. \n  \nONLINE EVENT DETAILS \nTime: October 2nd\, 2021\, 7:00 pm -10:00 pm  \nAdmission: Free (donations are encouraged) \nTune in 10 minutes before each event starts to test your devices for connection. \nThe event will be streamed live through the Red Poppy Art House Facebook page \n\n \n  \nDONATE
