This celebrated ensemble will perform Joseph Haydn’s “The Seven Last Words of Christ,” the composer’s reflection on Good Friday, with verse readings by Dean Emeritus Alan Jones. “The Seven Last Words of Christ” was commissioned in 1786 for the Good Friday service at Oratoria de la Santa Cueva (Holy Cave Oratory) in Cadiz, Spain. The seven main meditative sections – labelled “sonatas” and all slow – are framed by a slow Introduction and a fast “Earthquake” conclusion, for a total of nine movements.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
