From ‘Poetic Justice’s’ look at famous writers in love to a traveling Aretha Franklin tribute show, there’s a lot to see and do in the Bay Area this weekend.
Berkeley-based pianist Sarah Cahill, also a faculty member of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the host of the weekly classical music radio show “Revolutions Per Minute,” is a well-known champion both of new music and especially, through her “The Future Is Female” project, music by women composers from around the globe and down through the ages.
She brings both those passions to bear on her upcoming recital for Old First Concerts Jan. 6 in San Francisco. On her program are four world premieres, including “Humanitas,” which she commissioned from her frequent collaborator, the late Frederic Rzewski, before he died in 2021. The piece was composed in honor of his friend and fellow composer Terry Riley’s 85th birthday.
Shouldering the Aretha Franklin role is young Brooklyn-based singer Trejah Bostic, who’ll be backed by vocalists Meghan Dawson, Nattalyee Randall and Ashton Weeks. The backing band features keyboardists Darnell White and Rocco Dellaneve, drummer TJ Griffin, guitarist Kenneth “Gypsy” Simpson and bassist Owen Williams.
