Violinist and Composer Concetta Abbate presents a program of music for solo violin and voice to showcase her new music and arts organization Sound & Memory. After completing her Death Doula certification in 2021 Concetta saw a need to incorporate music into contemporary rituals for both grief and death, as tradition evolves over time. She will present a program of original compositions and arrangements which highlight the healing nature of music around loss, and filling the void or empty space with warmth and regeneration. Sound & Memory provides music memorial offerings at sliding scale rates and accepts tax deductible donations through its fiscal sponsor the Groupmuse Foundation.

THIS S#^T IS UGLY is a trio sound bath of fire and ice in rainbow colors – the kind of music that leaves light stains on the soles of your feet. Tt will also be one of the final performances from soon-to-be-no-longer bay area saxophonist Phillip Greenlief with still waking in san francisco electronic wizards Thomas Dimuzio and Wobbly (Jon Leidecker). Electro-acoustic improvisation, sure, but not the well mannered stuff that could pass for Audi commercials. this is America, after all, where water is soon to be an endangered species.
