Join ROVA to mark their anniversary with friends, drummer Donald Robinson and the Fred Frith Trio.

These kindred spirits will join Rova for seamless and masterful blends of composed and improvised music, the interweaving of which has surprised and delighted audiences in the Bay Area and beyond for nearly five decades. Inspired by forward looking jazz, world music, contemporary classical music, and imaginative rock, the quartet has developed a personal and engaging approach to improvisation. The works are often framed by compositional structures that inform and ignite improvisations that are thoughtfully crafted and highly original.

Since its inception Rova has collaborated with other individuals and ensembles to co-create the unexpected. For this special show Rova will present new works as a quartet, will play quintet improvisations with Robinson – drums, and cook up some singular brews with Frith – guitar, Jason Hoopes – bass, and Jordan Glenn – drums. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to catch eight intrepid Bay Area practitioners of adventurous music.

We hope to see you there!
