SUMMARY:Rob Reich Quintet: "Shadowbox" CD Release
DESCRIPTION:Accordion player and pianist Rob Reich is quintessentially what makes the San Francisco music scene a vibrant and vital mecca for independent music; he’s become one of its stalwart underground artists. Shadowbox\, the musician’s debut album\, marks a fully realized collection of original compositions. The music branches off from the musician’s work with revered Bay Area ensemble Tin Hat Trio\, mixing improvisational romps with refined and melodic ensemble arrangements. Doses of wry humor and elements of spontaneous revelation keep the music characteristically Reich\, whose idiosyncratic accordion prowess helps propel the instrument’s modern renaissance. \nRob Reich Quintet is:\nRob Reich – accordion & piano\nBen Goldberg – clarinets\nIla Cantor – guitar\nJohn Wiitala – bass\nEric Garland – drums \n“Rob‘s music is just like he is: guileless\, thoughtful\, playful and charming. His music wears a bowler hat and a pair of Chuck Taylors. Imagine finding out that your grandpa is an amazing ballroom dancer… and is inexplicably in his thirties again. That’s Rob Reich.” – Carla Kihlstedt\, Tin Hat Trio \n“Whatever context he’s in\, Reich transforms it into a creative hothouse where thousands of musical flowers bloom.” – Andy Gilbert\, East Bay Express \nLearn more about Rob here and get a taste of some of his music here. \nAdmission: $10-20. Doors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome.\nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.

SUMMARY:YESCKA: A Visual Encounter of the Socio-Political & Artistic Languages Rising from the Streets of Oaxaca Mexico
DESCRIPTION:In Conjunction with the Mission Arts & Performance Project\, \nthe Red Poppy Art House & EDELO Present:  \nYESCKA: A Visual Encounter of the Socio-Political & Artistic Languages Rising from the Streets of Oaxaca\, Mexico \nThe Red Poppy Art House collaborates with EDELO (En Donde Era La ONU ‘Where the United Nations Used to Be’) for the inauguration of YESCKA: A Visual Encounter of the Socio-Political & Artistic Languages Rising from the Streets of Oaxaca Mexico. The Poppy will exhibit the works of street artist Yescka for an evening of critical engagement in societal matters. \nSchedule: \n1:00pm – 6:00pm: Family Art + Heartbeat Soundscapes \n“Stopping Police Violence Altar” – Family Art MAPP invites parents and their children to participate in creating a mandala out of yarn and sticks called God’s Eye or Ojo de Dios. This meditative practice comes from indigenous people in Mexico that created them for the blessing of a space\, for newborns\, and to represent the four elements: earth\, fire\, air and water. The Ojo de Dios will be part of an altar offered as a blessing\, gift\, and a net of safety for the community and those lost to police violence. The altar will be part of the inauguration of the exhibition and mural by Yescka Guerrilla Art. \n*Family Art is a free art program offered by the Red Poppy Art House every Saturday 1-4pm. \nCollaborating artist Katy Fox adds her work\, Heartbeat Soundscapes\, to the altar by amplifying the heartbeats of children who attend the Poppy’s Family Art Program. To perceive the heart\, to feel and hear it\, to have your rhythm literally sync with another’s\, is to perceive what Paolo Virno deems a relation between “the highest possible degree of communality and the highest possible degree of singularity.” We Are Movement’s Heartbeat Soundscapes amplify a live heartbeat(s) into public space. Adding this intimate living sound to the usual mix of sounds on the street gives people surprising\, direct experiences of their own embodiment—by first listening outward to someone else’s beat. \n6:00pm – 7:00pm: YESCKA Art Opening \nIn 2011\, Yescka founded guerilla-art.mx\, a German-Mexican street art collective consisting of street artists and filmmakers. Born from the wish to spread intercultural art\, the collective has successfully organized project trips and exhibitions\, and has contributed to numerous street art festivals throughout Mexico\, Germany\, USA\, Switzerland\, Sweden\, and Spain. These art projects question and take a critical look at our society. The observer is called upon to actively consider issues and injustices\, thus preventing himself from becoming a mere consumer. Film documentation and fruitful collaborations with local artists play a central role in traveling with the guerilla-art.mx collective. \n7:30pm – 8:00pm: Matiz Flamenco \nMatiz Flamenco is back in the Mission\, featuring singer/dancer Yuli Norrish\, guitarist Laurel Lobovits\, and dancers Yukie Takahashi\, Maria Sanchez\, Paz de la Carzada & Valentine Boisnard! \n8:00pm – 8:30pm: San Francisco Youth Theatre \nSan Francisco Youth Theatre’s DREAM Ensemble performs excerpts from Gary Soto’s In & Out of Shadows\, based on interviews with Bay Area undocumented teenagers. Directed by Cliff Mayotte. Music by Emily Klion & George Brooks. \n8:45pm – 9:00pm: Leroy F. Moore Jr. \nThe Black Kripple Delivers will be a multi-media performance with a video trailer of an upcoming documentary about police brutality against people with disabilities by Emmitt Thrower\, a retired New York cop who has a disability. The trailer will introduce Leroy Moore\, aka The Black Kripple\, as he continues with the theme of police brutality and other forms of violence against people with disabilities through spoken word performances. \n9:11pm – 10:00pm: Kenya Moses & Adrian Arias / Open Hours \nLOVE story in a BOX is a multi-disciplinary performance with sound and silence\, joy and fear. \n*The space will be open until 10pm for art viewing\, music and conversation. \nMore on the Artists & Performers: \n \nPhoto credit: Yescka \nYescka started to make graffiti at the age of fifteen\, later attending a college of art where he began to combine fine arts with street art. In 2006\, there was a strong social and political movement in his state of Oaxaca. This urged him to communicate what was going on by revealing all the violence and experiences through art. At that point\, Yescka\, along with other artists from his city\, founded a collective called ASARO\, short for Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca. They started to use their works to criticize the social and political situation in an attempt to re-integrate art into society. \n“I feel that art right now is standing outside society because it belongs to a limited sector of galleries\, intellectuals and museums. I believe\, art is for everybody and that’s why we’re trying to create a link\, so that the people can get in touch with art in their everyday lives again.” – Yescka \n \nKaty Fox founded We Are Movement\, a body literacy project\, in 2012. Combining her background as large format printmaker and Hatha yoga instructor\, she believes that when embodiment is brought into public space\, it becomes a resource for greater self and civic engagement\, as well as for individual and collective development. She has lived in San Francisco for 20 years. \n \nPhoto credit: Matiz Flamenco \nMatiz Flamenco is a unique and inclusive flamenco organization. Their mission is to produce authentic and accessible flamenco shows\, and to offer classes and opportunities to support future performers and aficionados. \n \nPhoto credit: SF Youth Theatre \nSan Francisco Youth Theatre is dedicated to creating cutting-edge theater for children and youth ages 4-24 throughout the Bay Area. SFYT provides a world-class platform for art-inspired youth to create and perform theater that tells the compelling stories of our community. The core values include personal expression through the arts\, creativity\, inclusiveness and changing the world\, one play at a time. \n \nLeroy F. Moore Jr. is a Black writer\, poet\, hip-hop/music lover\, community activist and feminist with a physical disability. He has been sharing his perspective on identity\, race and disability over the past thirteen years. His work began in London\, England where he discovered a black disabled movement\, eventually leading to the creation of his lecture series: “On the Outskirts: Race & Disability.” Leroy is co-founder and the Community Relations Director of the Sins Invalid performance project\, and is also a contributing writer and performer for many itsshows. He is the creator of Krip-Hop Nation (a group of hip-hop artists with disabilities and other disabled musicians from around the world) and produced the Krip-Hop Mixtape Series.  In addition to founding several movements and organizations\, Leroy is one of the leading voices around police brutality and wrongful incarceration of people with disabilities. He has won many awards for his advocacy from the San Francisco Mayor’s Disability Council under Willie L. Brown\, to the Local Hero Award in 2002 from Public Television Station\, KQED in San Francisco. Leroy is currently writing a Krip-Hop book with Professor Terry Rowden as well as his poetry/lyrics book\, The Black Kripple Delivers Poetry & Lyrics. \n \nPhoto credit: Marc Hors \nAdrian Arias is a Peruvian-born visual artist and poet. He has worked as the Multimedia Coordinator at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts since 2001. During years 1981-2001\, Adrian was part of Arias & Aragon\, comprised of two visual artists who are recognized as the pioneers of video-art in Peru. They are winners of important prizes for their artwork in Peru\, France and Japan. Adrian’s visual art\, video-poems and poetry have been exhibited all around the world\, including Argentina\, Brazil\, Chile\, Peru\, Dominican Republic\, Canada\, U.S.\, Greece\, Italy\, France\, Poland\, Spain\, and Japan. His video Frida in the Mirror / Frida en el espejo was an official selection at the SF Film Festival and was also the winner at the Berkeley Film & Video Festival in 2009. His poetry has also been awarded in Peru\, Argentina\, US and Macedonia. In 2010\, Adrian had an Artist Residency at the de Young Museum of San Francisco. \n“In my work I try to connect the real world with the world of the unknown\, using the absurd and its aesthetic possibilities\, poetry and performatic techniques” – Adrian Arias \nMore on the Programs: \nFamily Art is a free art program offered by the Red Poppy Art House every Saturday 1-4pm. The program proudly participates in the outstanding bimonthly arts festival\, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP). Each alternating first Saturday of the month\, Family Art expands upon its usual afternoon activities and reaches even deeper into the Mission community. The families\, youth and volunteers are encouraged to partake in the organizational process\, curating\, presenting and\, of course\, performing. Activities are led by Sofia Elias. \nThe Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly\, multidisciplinary\, unruly intercultural happening that takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco. The MAPP has produced over 65 neighborhood-level arts festivals since its inception. Instead of an “art walk\,” the MAPP is a collage of 10-20 odd spaces transformed into micro art centers\, focused on intimate artistic and cultural exchange among people. It was founded with some of the same organizational principles as the Red Poppy Art House (which still enthusiastically participates in MAPP as a neighborhood hub) as they both rely on the energy of the surrounding community\, and operate with the help of many volunteers. Placing art and performance on the street level\, MAPP utilizes such alternative spaces as private garages\, gardens\, living rooms\, studios\, street corners\, and small businesses. At its heart\, the MAPP shows how ordinary spaces can be made extra-ordinary through creative techniques. \nFor more information on the MAPP\, visit the Poppy’s webpage or the MAPP website.

SUMMARY:Tito y su son de Cuba: A Night in Old Havana Cuba
DESCRIPTION:Tito Gonzalez leads his ensemble for a vibrant night of Cuban tunes as he serenades the audience through the streets of Old Havana. Singer/composer Tito Gonzalez is a master showman with a voice that has been compared to that of classic son singer Daniel Santos. Gonzalez delivers songs that are deceptively simple – between their fluid melodies and retrograde rhythms\, they evoke a focus and introspection that Tito attributes\, in part\, to his life in America. \nThe Cuban rhythm son\, which has been made popular by the Buena Vista Social Club\, is an essential element of both Tito’s music and his own being. Along with son\, his music demonstrates a broad range of Cuban genres such as rumba\, guaracha and the most romantic boleros. \nThe night’s lineup includes: \nTito Gonzalez – lead vocals\, guitar\, tres guitar\nSandy Poindexter – violin\nDavid Frazier – congas\nRubin Hurtado – piano\nCarlos Ramirez-Ortiz – bass\nMore about Tito Gonzalez: \nTito\, who first appeared on the Cuban music scene pushing forty and fully-formed\, still possesses the creative impulse that drove him more quickly than most up a long and slippery ladder as a professional musician. Tito first experienced the tres guitar through his father\, who had played when Tito was a boy. Since then\, Tito has had an on-again-off-again relationship with the tres. Music had been in and out of his life: he flirted with the guitar when he was into Elvis Presley\, the Beatles\, and Frank Sinatra. He later rekindled the romance with the guitar while on a long tour with the Cuban national fishing fleet\, and traded the instrument in for a tres when his ship docked in Spain. However\, he later dropped the tres altogether for a steady job as an auto mechanic. Now however\, Tito and the son had found each other\, never to part. \nContinue reading about Tito’s life here. \nAdmission: $15-20. Doors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event. Please arrive at the Red Poppy when doors open to purchase tickets. \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here. \n

SUMMARY:Peia and Ali: The Language of Birds
DESCRIPTION:Come be lifted to a place of timeless beauty and mystical union by sacred song preserver Peia and Iranian master tar player Ali Ghamsari. Travel the globe in song and deepen into a world of peace through the universal language of music. \nThe Language of Birds is a collaboration rooted in the beauty of ancient tradition\, while giving voice to the delicate times in which we live. Throughout the ages many mystic traditions have interpreted the language of birds as divine communication\, the voice of spirit and the earth. Birds themselves have long been understood as a universal symbol of freedom and peace. Through The Language of Birds\, Ali and Peia build a bridge rich with the depth of cultural diversity\, the enchantment of Persian poetry\, the innate beauty of soaring melody\, and the precious glimmer of hope for a more peaceful world. \nGifted with a broad\, soaring vocal range and crystalline tone\, Peia‘s voice pierces the heart with bell-like clarity. She sings with depth and beauty\, moving audiences to tears\, and invites listeners to reconnect with one’s own purpose and the heart of the Earth. Accompanying herself with charango\, harmonium\, and guitar\, Peia’s music creates an organic soundscape for deep vibrational healing. As a sacred song preserver\, Peia has gathered songs from indigenous traditions all across the globe\, as well as the stories and teachings woven within. She has traveled extensively and studied from the rich lineages of medieval chant\, Bulgarian and Celtic folk music\, medicine songs from the native peoples of North and South America\, and Indian classical raga. Peia’s original songwriting draws upon a deep love and respect for Mother Earth and the Spirit of all Life. \nAli Ghamsari is one of the most prominent and prolific composers in the younger generation of Iranian artists. His music honors the traditional style of Persian Radif while reflecting the voice of the people. As a multi-instrumentalist\, Ali displays mastery of tar\, as well as setar\, divan\, and guitar. Ali graduated from the Tehran Conservatory of Music and The University of Iran. He has established three ensembles: ‘Sarmad\,’ ‘Hamnavazan e Hesar\,’ and ‘The Iranian string quartet\,’ and currently tours the globe giving concerts and master classes on modern Persian composition. Ali’s last US tour in 2012 alongside vocalist Hamayoun Shajarian brought him to large halls across the country including the New York City Town Hall and Wheeler Hall at UC Berkeley. To date Ali has released over 10 albums of original music and contributed to numerous others. In 2014 he was awarded ‘Best Instrumentalist of the Year’ by the Iranian Musicema Awards (the most prestigious annual award granted for music in Iran) as well as ‘Best Orchestral Composer of the Year’ in 2012 for his piece ‘So Long Goodbyes.’ \nGet a glimpse of Peia’s incredible work.\nHear a sampling of Ali’s talents.\nFind out more about The Language of Birds Tour. \nAdmission: $15\nDoors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm.

SUMMARY:Taraf de Locos: Balkan and Latin Grooves
DESCRIPTION:Taraf de Locos is a group of talented young musicians who grew up together in San Francisco’s Mission District. They met as children at a magical music camp in the heart of California\, where they were exposed to traditional music from all over the world for ten days every year. Before they formed Taraf de Locos\, the young musicians played with their respective families\, each naturally gravitating toward the different styles their families mastered. As they grew older and music became a passion rather than a family obligation\, the group rediscovered each other as musicians\, and drew on the variety of influences they grew up with. Since coming together as an ensemble\, Taraf de Locos has been playing everywhere together: on the streets\, beaches\, hiking trails\, around fire circles\, and inside restaurants. With each member bringing a “unique flavor to the burrito\,” their rhythms and layers of vocal harmonies keep audiences dancing and enchanted. Come join these best friends for an evening of fun-loving energy! \nCome enjoy a night of music inspired by Turkish\, Greek\, and Afro-Cuban traditions in celebration of Taraf de Locos’ cross country CD release tour! If you haven’t heard their self-titled album yet\, come from 7:30pm-8:30pm for an album listening party\, following by a live set from 8:30-9:30\, and a jam session from 9:30-10. \nTaraf de Locos features:\nAya Safiya – violin/vocals\nCecilia Cassandra Peña-Govea – trumpet/vocals\nMiguelito León – percussion/vocals\nMireya León – bass\nTano Brock – guitar/saxophone/vocals\n \nLearn more about Taraf de Locos here. \nAdmission: $10-15.

SUMMARY:The View From Bernal Hill with Madeline Tasquin + Amaranth: Chamber Jazz\, Odd-Meter Soul\, and Classical String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The View From Bernal Hill brings forth a hearty amalgam of odd-meter rock\, chamber jazz harmonies\, and hip hop lyricism. With French-Vietnamese composer Camille Mai\, Argentine guitarist Nahuel Bronzini and Seattleite bassist Schuyler Karr at its core\, The View’s songwriting lies at the crossroads of dread and beauty\, chasing psychological and spiritual extremes. The group has been performing in San Francisco since 2012 with a rotating cast of percussionists\, string players\, MCs\, and other guest musicians. After touring the West Coast and releasing We Are No Beautiful Children\, their first EP\, in 2013\, they are currently recording a full length album and preparing a tour of Europe. \nThe View From Bernal Hill are resident artists at the Red Poppy Art House! \nSinging in both English and French\, Canadian-Californian Madeline Tasquin’s songs dip from jazz-tinged folk to odd-meter soul\, to twisted pop ballad and delicately dark fairy-tale. Raised in Northern British Columbia by her opera singer mother and Austrian gold-miner father\, Tasquin began playing the piano as soon as she could reach the keys and developed an acute sense of melody and harmony by singing on long car trips with her mother and two younger sisters. In her teenagehood\, Primus and Mr.Bungle played on repeat alongside Rachmaninoff\, Satie and Chopin. She returned to her musical roots through an unexpected relocation to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006\, after completing a degree in Architecture in Sydney Australia. \nSince the 2012 release of her EP Another Trip Around the Sun\, Madeline has spent her time developing and touring a repertoire that leans closer to soul and blues than the orchestral-pop flavor of her debut recording.  In “The Acorn and the Oak\,” a romantically wandering melody reminiscent of a Chopin nocturne is woven through a driving blues ballad in compound meter.  In “Twinkle Twinkle Little Satellite” she quotes the familiar nursery song melody and then corrupts it in chromatic fashion\, resolving into a doo-wop anthem about relativity.  The thread that ultimately weaves it all together is a nimble 3-octave voice that adapts gracefully to the musical whims\, and her disarmingly big\, bold and heart-driven stage presence \nAmaranth presents musical experiences that draw from a wide range of genres and the diverse influences of all four players. Their dedication to performing traditional music is equally matched by a passion to promote new music by composers from all walks of life. Since its inception at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 2013\, Amaranth has regularly commissioned emerging and established composers to write new works for string quartet. The group has also become a frequent collaborator of a number of local favorites\, such as The View from Bernal Hill\, Madeline Tasquin\, and Kendra McKinley. \nCatch The View From Bernal Hill here. \nLearn more about Madeline Tasquin here. \nAdmission: $10-30. Doors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome.\nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.

SUMMARY:Boca do Rio with Special Set from the Sarah Cabral Trio: Brazilian Beats for Valentine’s Sweets
DESCRIPTION:After a decade performing all original material during the heyday of San Francisco’s live music scene\, Boca do Rio has evolved into a multi-layered electro-funk party boat with a sound that is fluid and edgy\, adaptable and free.  Born of the mixing of waters of Brazil and the San Francisco Bay\, Boca do Rio has created musicá organicá – music that developed through the rhythm of living and working between the Americas. Boca do Rio was founded with deep respect for past traditions\, steeped in the sambas and choros (Brazilian ragtime of a bygone era) that echoed through the Brazilian favelas\, while always evolving forward to create an organic sound that is decidedly modern and funky. \n\nFor this special Valentine’s performance\, Boca do Rio strips it down to an intimate trio reminiscent of the classic Getz and Gilberto bossa nova sound of the 1960’s.  Kevin Welch\, Boca’s leader and composer\, is joined by the percussion powerhouse Alex Calatayud and Larry De La Cruz on alto saxophone. The result is an explosion of rich melodies and harmonies\, anchored by the deepest beat on the planet. \nOpening the evening is Brazilian-born singer Sarah Cabral\, who leads her trio with Bay Area Brazilian masters Marcos Silva (piano) and Alex Calatayud (percussion) performing contemporary and Brazilian classics. \n\n\nGet a feel for Boca‘s funk here.\n\nAdmission: $15-25. \nDoors at 7:00pm.

SUMMARY:Musical Art Quintet: Classical Meets World Music\, Nuevo Chamber
DESCRIPTION:The Musical Art Quintet was formed in 2008 in the Mission district of San Francisco during chamber music jam sessions every Sunday night at Cafe Revolution. Each week a new piece of music was written by MAQ band leader Sascha Jacobsen to be performed at Classical Revolution\, and ink still wet\, they would read through the piece in front of a live audience.  As their repertoire grew\, a core group of players emerged and the quintet was founded.\n\nAlthough classically trained\, the members of The Musical Art Quintet are skilled improvisors and each one brings with him a special area of expertise. Whether it is Argentine Tango\, Afro-Cuban Son\, Klezmer\, Classical works\, or even Electronica\, the Quintet is at home.\nNuevo Chamber is the name for this new genre that blends world music influences with a chamber music ensemble\, infusing rhythms from Argentina\, Cuba\, Africa\, Jazz\, and Classical traditions into a new style of music. \n\n\nThe Musical Art Quintet is:\n\nAnthony Blea – violin\nJory Fankuchen – violin\nCharith Premawardhana – viola\nJoseph Hebert – cello\nSascha Jacobsen – bass\n \n\n“Classical music is sexy again” -East Bay Express\n \n\n\n “Composer-bassist Sascha Jacobsen’s concoctions hop nimbly through a world of styles while impressing with ear-catching intricacy and handsome technique….indelible tracks like “Milonga de San Francisco” and Afrobeat-inflected “Fela Feliz” are spirited treats that will have you twirling across the floor.” -SF Bay Guardian\n\n\n\n\nTo get a sneak peak at MAQ\, visit here. \nAdmission: $15-20. Doors at 7:00pm. Show at 7:30pm. All ages welcome.\nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event.
