The Rake’s Progress Concert

When: Thu., Aug. 2, 7:30 p.m. and Sat., Aug. 4, 2 p.m. 2018
Price: $55
Based loosely on the eponymous eight paintings and engravings by William Hogarth (1733-1735), Stravinsky’s lively tale follows the decline and fall of a profligate heir who makes a devil’s bargain with Nick Shadow, abandoning life in the country and his tender fiancée for the wicked temptations of London. Stravinsky’s intricate score and W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman’s brilliant libretto offer the Merola artists an exciting challenge. For information or to order tickets visit http://merola.org

  • 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.'"
