Ragazzi Continuo, the a cappella group composed of adult alumni of the Bay Area’s Ragazzi Boys Chorus, presents The Great American Songbook, a sampling of defining songs that have shaped the musical landscape of the United States. The concert surveys American song from colonial composer William Billings’ Lamentation Over Boston, to Tin Pan Alley’s Irving Berlin’s Blue Skies. The men will also perform Reginald Unterseher’s composition of B.F White’s When I Hear The Trumpet Sound, and Continuo’s own Daniel Crowley’s arrangement of a Civil War standard. Rounding out the concert will be songs from modern American singer-songwriters.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    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.'"
