Clarinetist Ben Goldberg presents Archimedes Lullaby, a
new work scored for a quintet consisting of some of the most important
improvising musicians in the Bay Area: Kasey Knudsen on alto saxophone, Michael
Coleman on keyboards, Hamir Atwal on drums, Jon Arkin on live electronics, and
Goldberg on clarinet. The piece is inspired by Gjertrud Schnackenberg’s 2010
book-length poem, Heavenly Questions, a meticulous inquiry into love and
connection at the end of life, which Goldberg encountered while in residence at
the Civitella Ranieri Foundation in Italy in 2017.
Cost: $20
