Wednesday June 10 * doors at 7, music at 7:30 * $15-25
Caroline Jesalva - My work concentrates on sound, composition, installation art, experimental and poetic forms. I love bringing music to unconventional spaces and collaborating across disciplines and artistic mediums. I have been very fortunate to have an amazing community of collaborators that includes composers, dancers, film-makers, visual artists, activists, poets, rappers, and puppeteers. I like to write poetry and plays about self-identification, anger, heritage, surrealism, and ritual.
Bearduo is a saxophone duo consisting of Aaron Kaufman-Levine on Alto Saxophone and Garrett Frees on Tenor Saxophone. Dear friends and collaborators since 2015, Aaron and Garrett started improvising together as a duo in their first semester together at New England Conservatory (Fall 2019). What began as a fun practice routine became a daily rehearsing group that vowed to push each other and themselves to find their own way to approach improvised music on the saxophone. Bearduo brings a unique and spontaneous creation to each performance that reflects their shared musical language and deep connection. Their first self-titled record Bearduo released in July 2025 with a focus on long form improvisation, scale and interaction between the two performers.
Love and Liberation - all-star quartet of improvisers from Baltimore - Che Davis, Jamal Moore, Peter Redgrave, & Bashi Rose.
