PERSPECTIVE: Hymns and Spirituals
Friday, September 3
Curated by Sarah Jo Zaharako, Perspective is a provocative concert series that celebrates the talent and diversity of the Bay Area’s finest musicians. Each concert presents a theme designed to entice performers to break away from their usual performance style and pilot something new. For each show, three musicians/groups are invited to compose and perform a few acoustic pieces, creating a program that is entirely fresh and unique. With the Red Poppy providing an intimate setting to experience these acoustic experiments, Perspective is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy favorite musicians while sampling something new.
Tonight’s Perspective concert showcases three diverse musical groups performing songs on the theme “Hymns and Spirituals.” Their selections range from traditional to contemporary, covered to composed.
Katy Stephan opens the program with transcendent melodies for voice and piano.
Then, Sarah Jo Zaharako and Eric Perney perform soulful duos on violin and bass, respectively.
Omid Zoufonoun (guitar) and Amir Zoufonoun (vocals) conclude the concert with original and traditional Persian ballads.
$12-$15 admission. Doors open at 8:30 pm. Show at 9:00 pm.
