Humanities West presents Cleopatra: The Last Pharaoh, a 2-day lecture and performance series bringing to life one of history’s most intriguing women. Amassing enormous wealth and power, Cleopatra lived dangerously and died sensationally. Ever since, she has been an iconic figure, continually re-imagined through the cultural prisms of successive ages. A panel of noted scholars and acclaimed Bay Area performers celebrate her rich legacy. Presenters include Stacy Schiff (Pulitzer Prize-winning author), Grant Carter (Stanford), Lisa Pieraccini (Berkeley), and Robert Gurval (UCLA); performers are Sara Duchovnay (soprano), Mariya Kaganskaya (soprano), Andrew Wang (piano) and Steven Harmon (French horn).

  • 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.'"
