French Music from the courts of the Bourbon monarchs (Louis XIV and XV). Music by Marin Marais, Couperin, Forqueray, “lots of French loveliness.”

3PM Crystal Pasccuci - Music that is improvised has a certain life, character, and attentiveness that is unattainable through fixed notation. The performers are engaged in a totally different type of musical experience — one where the future is unknown.

4PM Doralice - is a duo from SF playing original instrumental acoustic music that sounds like the score to an art house film never made, with an esoteric blend of Americana, Spanish, and modern chamber elements, equally at home in a quirky gallery or sidewalk cafe.

5PM RED STEPPES - is the Oakland-based duo of Nika Aila States (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Owen Adair Kelley (electric guitar). We're big on eschewing standard metres and sensible tunings for extra beats and very low C notes. Our goal is to explore these rich, underexploited textures through a folk lens.
