SMEP 15 of 20, Jonathan Silberman + Laura Steenberge

Jonathan Silberman (LA)
Laura Steenberge (SF)

In the home of Donna Schumacher

Monday, June 25, 2012, 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Audience Capacity:
30 people

Artist and Project Information:

Jonathan Silberman (LA)
Themes for Tenor Saxophone
Short themes marked by melodramatic melody, textural fragments and percussive components.

Laura Steenberge (SF)
A musical performance about invisibility and rhymes

Steenberge will give a performance of songs, repetitive vibrating strings and storytelling using a guitar, upright bass, voice and a painting of a kitten sitting in a teacup. Her grandmother painted it. At some point, Jonathan Silberman will join to play a song that was cowritten by Steenberge and her grandmother's ghost. Hopefully, we will play some other music together as well.

Southern Machine Exposure Project events all take place in private homes that serve as public venues. As a result of the intimate nature of these 20 unique spaces there is limited attendance for each event. If you’d like to attend, you must sign up ahead of time and register online. Registration for each project opens seven days prior to the actual event. One new project opens daily at noon beginning June 4, 2012. Times and audience capacity varies for each project. Pre-registration is REQUIRED and all events are FREE.

Southern Machine Exposure Project is a project developed by Southern Exposure (San Francisco) and Machine Project (Los Angeles), involving 20 combinations of artists and performers from LA and SF, presented off-site in 20 homes in the Bay Area over 20 consecutive days from June 11 - 30.
