Le Jazz Hot

(the Quartet/Trio of the Hot Club of San Francisco) celebrates the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s pioneering Hot Club de France. Often called gypsy jazz, the music of Le Jazz Hot borrows the all-string instrumentation of violin, bass and guitars from the original Hot Club, but presents innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original compositions. Hearing the ensemble carries the listener back to the 1930s and to the small, smoky jazz clubs of Paris or the refined lounges of the Hotel Ritz.

SUNDAY SALON
Eloquence String Quartet

Come join Rachelle Berthelsen-Davis, Gwyneth Davis, Peggy Brady, and Beth Heid to celebrate the rich hues of the autumn season with colorful string repertoire including excerpts from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.

The Eloquence Quartet was formed when long time friends Peggy and Beth wanted the opportunity to play string quartets more often and to explore a wider range of repertoire. They invited cellist Gywneth Davis and violinist Rachelle Davis to join them. Peggy began collecting interesting quartet arrangements on her trips to Munich and Vienna, also finding a few gems on the internet. She has assembled one of the most diverse and beautiful repertoire collections of any Bay Area string quartet. Since its formation, the Eloquence Quartet, Trio and Duo have become a familiar attraction at the most beautiful venues in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Words often used to describe their sound are “rich, warm and elegant”

The Region of Bliss

A synchronicity between
Charlotte Bronte and
Emily Dickinson

Daring excerpts from diaries, letters, and poetry, exploring shared perspectives on dutiful daughters, religion, human rights, and the passionate love objects that inspired their writing.

Bronte and Dickinson, whose published works from the eighteen hundreds have never been out of print, live in the collective imagination as mysterious, doomed creatures of attics and parsonage. Yet, Bronte wrote one of the greatest human rights love stories in the English language and Dickinson’s poetry defines the actions of the human heart with unmatched force of originality and confidence.

Script and Art Direction by Becca Smith (as Charlotte Bronte)
