- OPEN GATE IN FEBRUARY
-
- Sunday, February 3, at 7:00 p.m.,
- the third in the winter series of Sunday evening concerts
- will occur presented by Open Gate Theatre,
- featuring
- Jane Rigler,
- Philip Gelb,
- Jie Ma,
- Vinny Golia,
- and
- Alex Cline
- The concert will take place at the Center for the Arts,
Eagle Rock,
- 2225 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock (one block west of Eagle
Rock Blvd.).
- Admission is $10, students, seniors, and series performers
half price.
- Free parking is plentiful.
- Further information can be obtained by calling (626)
795-4989.
-
- In a format a bit different from the usual two-acts-two-sets
type presented at Sunday evening concerts, this event will feature five
distinctive improvising musicians in two sets comprised of a variety of
combinations and contexts of the five participants.
-
- Those participants are flautist Jane Rigler,
coming from New York, an experienced, world-traveled improviser coming
from the so-called classical world who has added considerably to the sonic
palette of her instrument; shakuhachi player Philip Gelb,
coming from Oakland, no stranger to this series, the only known improvising
musician whose sole instrument is the traditional Japanese bamboo flute
known as the shakuhachi, a man who has played with virtually every creative
musician in the Bay Area, Japan, and beyond, and who has worked closely
over the years with the likes of composer/visionary Pauline Oliveros;
newcomer Jie Ma, who hails from northwestern China but now lives
in San Francisco, who will contribute musical adventurousness on the traditional
Chinese stringed instrument known as the pipa; and finally two local stalwarts,
woodwind player Vinny Golia and percussionist Alex Cline,
who played together as a duo in this series' last concert and whose hyperbolic
blurb was featured in that event's press release-they should require no
introduction/explanation at this point! Flute enthusiasts and woodwind
fans in particular should take note of this event, as should anyone who
has ever wondered what pipa would sound like in this sort of context.
What will happen when these five players from different backgrounds and
geographic locations combine in different numbers and settings? There's
only one way to find out: come and see/hear for yourself!
