Wave: String Quartets + Poetry @ The Lost Church

  • The Lost Church 988 Columbus Avenue San Francisco, CA, 94133 United States (map)

While some of the show’s music and poetry is prearranged and scripted, for half of the performance none of the performers know what's gonna happen until it's on the page—not even the poet herself! While the quartet plays, and the audience listens, Silvi types then reads the written on-the-spot poem. If you haven't seen this collaboration before, expect an absolutely original experience. The typewriter is another instrument, poetry another line of music.
