Rova Saxophone Quartet members Bruce Ackley, Steve Adams, Jon Raskin, and Larry Ochs (from the Facebook Events page for the performance being discussed)
As we prepare ourselves for the new season (now only a month away), Rova:Arts, the administrative arm of the Rova Saxophone Quartet, has announced what appears to be a free concert in San Francisco. The four members of the ensemble, Bruce Ackley, Larry Ochs, Steve Adams, and Jon Raskin, will present their first-ever concert at the Main Branch of the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL). This is far from the first time that the venue will be hosting a concert. Readers may recall that this site reported on a recital by the Black Cedar trio in the Koret Auditorium on the bottom floor, which took place this past June.
Rova will present new works composed by the quartet that explore musical realms that seamlessly blend composition and improvisation. This is a unique approach to performance that Rova has developed over the past five decades. Following the performance itself, Rova will engage with the audience in a Q&A session.
The event is planned to last one hour, beginning at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 28. The SFPL Main Library is located at 100 Larkin Street, on the northeast corner of Grove Street on the Civic Center Plaza. Again, there will be no charge for admission, since the building itself will be the venue for the performance. Those wishing further information from SFPL are invited to call 415-557-4277.
