The Rova Saxophone Quartet & Ghost in the HouseE. "Doc" Smithbyline‚ Jan. 09‚ 2009I'm a huge fan of Tom Nunn and David Michalak, two incredible artists and musicians. This Saturday, their amazing ensemeble Ghost in the House will join the acclaimed all-saxophone ensemble, Rova at the Community Music Center in San Francisco’s Mission District. With their unique instrumental combinations the two ensembles will present an evening of adventurous music making – performing as Rova and Ghost in the House, but also mixing it up with different combinations of the two groups. ROVA will present a set of original works for saxophone quartet. For more than 3 decades Rova has explored ways to blend composed and improvised musical elements to create genre bending pieces to the delight of audiences around the world. Community Music Center is an ideal setting to get up close and personal with the foursome. Rova will offer the San Francisco premier of Steve Adams’ Parallel Construction #3 from his series of works that blends interval and set derived written sections with options for improvising soloists. |
