| Myra Melford at the Presidio For pianist, composer and Guggenheim fellow Myra Melford, the personal and the poetic have always been intimately connected. Raised outside Chicago in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Melford grew up literally surrounded by art, seeing early on that aesthetic expression could both be built from and be a structure for profound emotions. Her work draws inspiration from a vast spectrum of cultural and spiritual traditions and artistic disciplines. Recent projects include the multimedia Language of Dreams for her ensemble Snowy Egret; a duo with clarinetist Ben Goldberg; and Trio M with bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Matt Wilson. Friday, February 24, 2017 5:30 PM Presidio Officers' Club 50 Moraga St., San Francisco, CA (map) Meet inside 5:30, Music starts 6:00, dine with group 7:30 next door We've seen Myra Melford before at the Community Music Center last year, and it was amazing. Join us for a unique musical experience. Afterward, we'll have dinner next door to socialize. "Melford is an explosive player, a virtuoso who shocks and soothes, and who can make the piano stand up and do things it doesn't seem to have been designed for."
