SUMMARY:Jacqui Sutton with the Frontier Jazz String Trio: Jazz and Bluegrass Swing Together
DESCRIPTION:Imagine if Billie Holiday\, Dolly Parton and Aaron Copland came together to create music for a night. This would be the sound of Jacqui Sutton described by music/arts critic C. Michael Bailey as “where jazz meets the American frontier.” Drawing on over 20 years of musical and stage experience\, Jacqui interweaves jazz and bluegrass with orchestral\, pop and Americana influences. In her ears\, the banjo\, mandolin and fiddle continually intermingled with jazz\, eventually coalescing into her distinctive frontier jazz sound. She has recently been featured in Chris Becker’s Freedom of Expression: Interviews with Women in Jazz (November 2015)\, a book discussing the contributions made by women in the jazz world. \n*This performance is proudly sponsored by Ifshin Violins. \nFeaturing:\nJacqui Sutton – vocals\nPaul Chester – banjo\, guitar\nAnthony Sapp – bass\nMax Dyer – cello\n \nFollow Jacqui on Facebook.\nLearn more about “frontier jazz” here and preview the music here.\n \n“The latest one by Jacqui Sutton\, vocalist extraordinaire\, is a kind of giant leap forward into a realm of creative Americana. Notes from the Frontier (Toy Blue Typewriter 002) brings together Jacqui’s very fully enacted vocals with the unusual instrumentation and sonic mix of her Frontier Jazz Orchestra—including cello\, banjo\, electric bass\, trumpet\, trombone\, percussion\, piano\, and so forth. … It’s a generally excellent selection of surprises that straddle jazz\, roots\, country and all kinds of American elements juxtaposed with rather extraordinary arrangements. And a vocal performance by Jacqui that does the same with the vocals that the arrangements do to the instrumental backdrop—she combines ways of singing that extend our heritage and make it very new. It’s the opposite of a ho-hum standards “jazz vocalist” release. It’s vivid\, exciting and very innovative.”\n– G. Edwards\, Grego Applegate Edwards \n\nAdmission: $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.

SUMMARY:Evening Session in Community Engaged Arts Presenting ft. Guest Speaker Katie Fahey
DESCRIPTION:This session provides an overview of local institutional funders of the arts and tips for approaching them. How does one identify opportunities for support? What makes an application more competitive than others? What else does one need to consider? Katie shares her insights from both sides of the grants process in this increasingly challenging landscape for Bay Area artists. \nAbout Our Guest:\nKatie Fahey is Program Officer in the Kenneth Rainin Foundation’s Arts program. She is responsible for managing grantmaking activities\, supporting new and experimental performances and programs\, capacity building for arts organizations\, and other strategic initiatives. Previously\, Katie was managing director of the Red Poppy Art House. Prior to relocating to California\, she held positions with the Art Institute of Chicago\, the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs\, as well as the Embassy of Canada in Washington\, D.C. She has also worked in galleries and as an arts consultant. Katie holds an MA in Arts Administration and Policy from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BA in Political Science and English from Acadia University. \n\nAbout the Professional Development Track Program:\nOn the 3rd Monday of every other month\, the Red Poppy Art House invites guest artists\, arts leaders\, community organizers\, and other creative thinkers\, to share their experience and ideas on the work they are doing and the questions that we are exploring at the Red Poppy Art House. We like to open these presentation-discussions to artists\, arts professionals\, and others seeking to develop their skills and understanding of the arts ecosystem in relation to socially engaged arts presenting. \nFocused on “community engaged arts presenting\,” the Poppy’s Professional Development program centers around inquiry in: \n– How can we best facilitate a space of encounter\, an environment that connects both artists and people from different communities?\n– What is the relationship/tension between art as a force for social transformation and art as a form of cultural entertainment that follows a consumer relationship (i.e. you buy a ticket and consume a show)?\n– What are the different practical needs in different disciplines (i.e. dance as opposed to a music production)\, and how can we familiarize ourselves with them to better anticipate the needs of a particular collaboration? In other words\, how do we become cross-disciplinary in our thinking?\n– Seeing that social/professional relationships in the arts tend to fall along the dividing lines between artistic disciplines and genres\, what are some strategies that can help intersect and cross-pollinate respective communities?\n– How do we find new and creative ways of addressing issues around equity and access\, particularly as we see them play out in our immediate community? \nTo learn more about the program\, please click here. \n\nThis session is free and open to the public. \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here.
