Red Poppy Art House Needs You

MAPP (Mission Arts & Performance Project)

Launched in 2003, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly, multidisciplinary, intercultural event that takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco. On the first Saturday of every even month of the year, the MAPP transforms ordinary spaces, such as private garages, gardens, living rooms, studios, street corners, and small businesses into pop-up performance and exhibition sites for a day/night of intimate-scale artistic and cultural exchange among a kaleidoscope of individuals and communities.  Due to COVID-19 we have temporarily changed this dynamic program from an onsite to an online series. Thanks to the mastery and innovation of the presenting artists and curatorial vision we are pleased that the kaleidoscope of cultural exchange continues to be an incredibly enriching experience for the presenter and the viewer. We look forward to the days that we can safely present at our neighborhood venue and we are grateful for everyone’s ingenuity in making the online presentations meaningful and unique experiences.  

This program is funded by California Arts Council Impact Project Grant. We will continue our work in presenting unique artistry to the communities that we serve.

Classical Revolution | Classical String Quartet

Chamber Music for the People

Featuring:

Anthony Blea – violin

Charith Premawardhana – violin

Scot Moore – viola

Sung Choi – cello

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

Classical Revolution was founded in the fall of 2006 with the goal of making classical chamber more relevant in our neighborhoods and communities.

After a successful first year of weekly shows at Revolution Cafe in San Francisco’s Mission District, the organization began to receive invitations to perform at other local venues including Amnesia and the Red Poppy Art House – soon to be followed by the Legion of Honor and de Young Museum, and then places like Yoshi’s SF and Herbst Theater.

In its 10th anniversary year, Classical Revolution undertook a cycle of Beethoven’s 9 Symphonies, performed at venues around San Francisco including Folsom Street Foundry, de Young Museum, Fort Mason’s Cowell Theater, and a performance of the 9th Symphony at Grace Cathedral in front of a 1000 person audience.

Press articles from the New York Times, Strings Magazine, Wall Street Journal, and The Economist brought wider attention to Classical Revolution’s efforts.

As interest grew outside of San Francisco, the network of chapters began to develop, with over 40 cities hosting regular Classical Revolution around the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, as well as Indonesia, Argentina, South Korea, and Japan.

Over 1000 musicians have performed at more than 1200 Classical Revolution events in over 125 different venues in the Bay Area alone. Audiences enjoy the accessibility of the venues and the fun laid back approach, as well as the diversity and quality in programming.

In San Francisco, Classical Revolution hosts a regular series of performances as well as guest appearances around the Bay Area.

“Cabin 19” Trio

World & Balkan Music & more 

Cabin 19 began with three Balkan Camp enthusiasts during the pandemic, performing online concerts from redwood cabins and scenic rooftops. After a few hit shows and gaining a reputation that no one was really expecting, the three have found themselves performing together at live venues. All the more fun! Come and join us for a hafla, a fiesta, and a vechirka, all rolled into one.

Featuring:

Asaf Ophir – clarinet

Balder ten Cate – cimbalom

Zina Pozen – accordion

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Asaf Ophir began his career as a woodwind player in musical theater, performing on some of the most distinguished stages in Israel. Currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he is often invited to collaborate with artists from a wide variety of cultures, including Jewish, Arabic, European, Persian, Kurdish, and others. Equally at home with classical, jazz, and world music, Asaf has shared the stage with Miri Mesika, Avi Kushnir, Galit Giat, David De’or, Ustad Mahwash, Rana Farhan, and Barbara Streisand.

Zina Pozen  Originally from Moldova/Ukraine, Zina grew up in a family of musicians, playing classical piano as a child. Attending EEFC Balkan music camps inspired her to pick up the accordion. She has performed with Seattle’s Bucharest Drinking Team, Orchestra Euphonos, Moonshine Jelly, Jonnie Pekelny, Metanastys, Cabin 19, and other groups of musicians and friends. 

Balder ten Cate born into a musical family, was steeped in eastern European music from a young age. He studied Romanian music with cimbalom master Giani Lincan, and after moving to the Bay Area in 2008, music from the Balkans with Rumen Sali Shopov.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My artistic residency at the Red Poppy Art House is focused on embracing the community in areas of collaboration and participation, as well as honoring the memory of those who taught us, inspired us, paved the way for art, creativity, and social justice.

My love for the community and the RPAH is based on the connections that are created when the artists, creators, and population of the community come together to share a creative moment, a moment of freedom and inspiration, that invites us to live better, to feel better, inspires us to live without fear and to continue creating and inspiring.

Mini ILLUSION show is a multidisciplinary event which is a space for the participation of artists from a wide range of ethnicities and races in the community for mixing disciplines and combining styles to respond artistically to the theme.

Over the years, more than 300 artists participated in the ILLUSION shows during 2003-2017. Six times at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, and two times at the de Young Museum and one time at SOMArts.

ILLUSION is an amazing experience, sharing the art, the momentum, the projects and ideas around us, the creative process of individuals and groups. More information about ILLUSION project can be found here
