The Do-Over Music Series at Shapeshifters Cinema, organized by Lisa Mezzacappa and Jordan Glen, is a monthly series of sound performances presented by a rotating cast of local luminaries and special guests. The first set features creative - improvised - composed - electronic - acoustic - music. The second set opens up to a live improvised collaboration of sound and visuals using images culled from the Shapeshifters 16mm film collection.

Set 1: 7pm
Beth Schenck Quintet

A wildly creative and original musical voice, SF saxophonist and composer Beth Schenck writes bracing music that blends lush harmonies with fierce propulsiveness and surprising rhythmic twists and turns. Her quintet features some of the Bay Area’s most adventurous improvisers, supporting her compositions which have been praised as “frank and beautiful” (MetalJazz.com) and “reliably enthralling” (San Francisco Chronicle).
