The new year’s Sunday Afternoon concert series at the California Jazz Conservatory continues on February 14 with a musical valentine from Flauti Diversi.
Flauti Diversi has been presenting early/contemporary chamber music programs for over twenty years. Musical Director Frances Feldon and the group present their third program at the CJC, and the second in which a variety of crossover styles are featured.
This year’s program includes a mix of medieval, Renaissance, Arabic, Sephardic, klezmer, and jazz style arrangements and improvisations to put you in a romantic mood. Performers are Karen Clark, contralto; Frances Feldon, recorders and transverse flutes; Peter Maund, percussion; Sarah Michael, qanun; and Susanna Porte, violoncello.
The concert begins at 4:30 p.m., at the California Jazz Conservatory (formerly The Jazzschool), 2087 Addison St., between Shattuck and Milvia, in downtown Berkeley. The venue is one block from the downtown Berkeley BART station, and parking is easily available at the Addison Street parking garage. Street parking is free on Sundays and also relatively easy in the afternoon. Doors open an hour before the performance. The school’s café will be open prior to and during the concert, allowing audience members to enjoy a glass of wine, coffee, or a light snack.
Reserve your tickets online. All tickets are $20, and reservations are highly recommended for this small and intimate venue. Tickets will be available at the door, but performances often sell out.
