SUMMARY:Ramana Vieira and Fátima Santos: An Evening of Portuguese Fado
DESCRIPTION:East Coast duo Fátima Santos and José Luis Iglésias join West Coast vocalist Ramana Vieira for an evening of fado-inspired music. Fado\, the most widely recognized music of Portugal\, is a passionate\, soul-stirring genre with soaring vocals and dramatic tales of love\, loss and redemption.\n\n\nRamana Vieira’s personal relationship with fado music lies deep in her family history.

She is the recipient of two IPMA (International Portuguese Music Awards) for Best World Music and Song of the Year (2014). \nFeaturing:\nRamana Vieira – vocals\nFátima Santos – vocals\nJosé Luis Iglésias – Portuguese guitar\nPatrick Fahey – mandolin\nSteve Nelson – percussion\nAlberto Ramirez – acoustic bass\nEla Polak – violin \n\nFollow Ramana on Facebook and SoundCloud.\n\n\n\nAdmission: $15-20.

SUMMARY:The Adam Shulman Quintet:  Strays: The Music of Billy Strayhorn
DESCRIPTION:Leaning toward a bebop aesthetic\, Adam Shulman and his band adapt Billy Strayhorn’s repertoire to a small ensemble with an emphasis on soloing and spontaneous group interaction. The music of Strayhorn is lyrical and dramatic with an underpinning of great harmonic depth.

In addition to leading his own groups\, he has played as a sideman with internationally-renowned artists such as Stefon Harris\, Willie Jones III\, Miguel Zenon\, Mark Murphy\, Luciana Souza\, Paula West\, Larry Coryell\, Sean Jones\, Grant Stewart\, and Bobby Hutcherson. \nFeaturing:\nPatrick Wolff – tenor saxophone\nMike Olmos – trumpet\nJon Arkin – drums\nAdam Shulman – piano\nEric Markowitz – bass \n“Shulman’s introspective approach to playing and composing has the potential to reach a wide-ranging audience while remaining mindful of artistic integrity.” – John Barron\, jazzreview.com \n\nAdmission: $10-20. Doors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.

Two generations have passed. Why so many failures? African wars you took me\, my body\, my land\, you have plunged my life in distress. All these tears and cries that fire\, these falling bodies\, and these extended corpses. The blood that spreads gradually\, these martyrs. And the smell of death and widespread fear. Sorry. Turn the other cheek. It is able to forgive. Who hurt you. It also means knowing smile. Who made ​​you cry? Africa\, you are my joy memorable although sometimes misfortune strikes\, you will remain the land of freedom.” \nWatch a clip here. \nNibo Nabo by Chris Babingui:\nNibo Nabo is all about a cry of revolt against the leaders of the country who rule one after the other when the conditions of living are gradually deteriorating to the level of extreme poverty. It is all about the expression of the pains and the feeling of exhaustion of a well educated but traumatized generation of Congolese youth which finds itself threatened by several ills and which feels being sacrificed by the carelessness of the government: lack of water and electricity\, increase of unemployment\, youth delinquency\, lack of social aid. \nWatch a clip here. \n\nAdmission: $15-20. Doors at 7:30pm. Show at 8:00pm. All ages welcome. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.

SUMMARY:The String Quartet Experience: Nahuel Bronzini and the Amaranth String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The String Quartet Experience is Nahuel Bronzini’s arranging journey which joins together the sounds of singer-songwriting and a string quartet. Playing off of the expectations of what a classical string quartet should sound like\, Bronzini creates a heightened listening experience of textures and gestures that range between old and new. “I wrote a full string quartet arrangement for each piece in hopes of representing the emotions and images depicted through their music and lyrics\, while also printing my own voice as a composer. This is a true collaborative project that brings to life the musical beliefs\, fantasies and needs of both myself and the songwriters.” – Nahuel Bronzini\n  \nAn Argentinean guitarist and composer\, Nahuel Bronzini moved to San Francisco in 2010 after completing a degree in jazz at the Escuela de Música Contemporánea in Buenos Aires. Despite Bronzini’s love for popular music\, his urge to keep widening his music experiences led him to continue his studies in classical guitar at the San Francisco Conservatory. Bronzini’s original music explores themes of nostalgia and longing\, navigating sonorities from both the contemporary classical world as well as jazz and other pop culture-related music. He is also currently involved in several Bay Area music projects as a performer\, arranger and/or producer.\n\n  \nWith a love of tackling the string quartet canon and as fierce a passion for discovering newly composed works\, Amaranth was founded in 2013 and proudly calls the Bay Area home. Members Katie von Braun\, Abigail Shiman\, Erica Zappia\, and Helen Newby bring classical music beyond the concert hall\, striving to reach divergent audiences that range from high school classrooms to neighborhood bars alike. Projects this season include a performance at the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music’s SFMusic Day 2015\, participation in Oakland’s Art in Nature Festival\, and a residency with the Cypress String Quartet.\n\n\n  \nFeaturing:\nNahuel Bronzini – arranging/artistic direction\nKatie von Braun (Amaranth) – violin\nAbigail Shiman (Amaranth) – violin\nErica Zappia (Amaranth) – viola\nHelen Newby (Amaranth) – cello\n\n\n \nDiana Gameros – vocals\, guitar\, songwriting\nKendra McKinley – vocals\, guitar\, songwriting\nCamille Mai – vocals\, piano\, songwriting\nJohn Haesemeyer – vocals\, guitar\, songwriting\nMike Suarez – vocals\, guitar\, songwriting\nClaudio Santomé  – tenor vocals\nJuan David Mejia – cello\nSchuyler Karr – upright bass\n(TBA) – percussion\n\n\n  \nWatch a short documentary about the String Quartet Experience at the Poppy here.\nFind out more about the album through the Kickstarter campaign here.\n\n\nAdmission: $15-20.

Oluo – trumpet\nJosh Rawlings – rhodes/keyboard\n\n“Industrial Revelation embodies jazz; jazz is meta-musical\, embodying everything else. And so IR rocks. But really they’re just virtuoso musicians playing risky and loose. They are a joy to hear. They slide around the music scene\, doing the thing they do\, mercurial and misplaced and unsung. As outsiders\, they fit right in.” – Jonathan Zwickel\, City Arts\n\nStream Liberation & the Kingdom of Nri on SoundCloud and Bandcamp.\nFollow the band on Facebook and Twitter. \n\nAdmission: $10-15.

SUMMARY:Fandangueros: Latin/Filipino Folk and Contemporary Music
DESCRIPTION:Traversing the musical footprints between Spain\, Latin America and the Philippines\, Fandangueros‘ compositions value tradition as well as their new iterations.

While Florante’s nationalistic approach is a nod to its Spanish influence\, Chus posits that the exchange goes both ways – that Spain’s music is also the beneficiary of many folk traditions from Latin America and beyond. \nFeaturing:\nFlorante Aguilar – guitar\, arrangements\, compositions\nChus Alonso – flute & laud\, arrangements\, compositions\nSage Baggott – drums\nGreg Kehret – double bass\n\nLearn more and listen to Florante Aguilar here. \n\nAdmission: $15-25.

SUMMARY:Fero Kiraly - Soundring: Hands-On Music Workshop for Children
DESCRIPTION:SOUNDRING is an interactive educational workshop for children age five+. SOUNDRING was created by the Slovak contemporary musician and composer\, Fero Kiraly. He uses a custom-made electronic instrument called Zvukodrom. During the workshop\, children listen\, compose and conduct. Fero explains how to listen for varied environmental sounds as a snoring dog\, meowing cat or a motorcycle. Children use the Zvukodrom to improvise with those sounds and play together in duet\, trio\, quartet or even an entire orchestra. Children become aware of mathematically based concepts\, such as keeping time\, learn collaborative listening skills and even practice the art of conducting. \nWhat is a Zvukodrom?\nA Zvukodrom (zvu-ko-DROM) is a special instrument that consists of handmade molded objects of geometrical shapes designed by Martin Piacek. These touch-responsive objects are connected to a computer\, which gives users the ability to create sounds and music through software specially designed for the workshop. \nLearn more about SOUNDRING and the Zvukodrom here. \n\nAdmission: $10 suggested donation. Workshop at 11:00am. For children ages 5+. \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here. \n
