(see times)
PRESIDIO SESSIONS – Friday Evenings at 6 pm
In the intimate atmosphere of a house concert, experience jazz, contemporary, and classical music, and enjoy opportunities to converse with performers and each other. Offered in partnership with the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music.
Rova Saxophone Quartet explores the synthesis of composition and collective improvisation, creating exciting, genre-bending music that challenges and inspires. Rova is one of the longest standing groups in a musical movement that has its roots in a broad spectrum of influences including postbop, free jazz, avant-rock, and 20th century new music, drawing equal inspiration from the visual arts and from traditional and popular styles from across the globe. Rova began in 1978, collaborating early on with such like-minded colleagues Henry Kaiser, Fred Frith, John Zorn. Recent projects have included Electric Ascension, a re-imagining of John Coltrane’s monumental work.
