The Musical Art Quintet
May 24, 2013 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$12 – $15
Nuevo Chamber
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.
Nuevo Chamber is their name for this new genre that blends world music influences with a chamber music ensemble.
Jory Fankuchen – violin
Anthony Blea – violin
Charith Premawardhan – viola
Lewis Patzner – cello
Sascha Jacobsen – bass
“Classical music is sexy again. Lest you doubt that, look no further than chamber group, The Musical Art Quintet” – East Bay Express
“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 Guardian
