February 2006 Community Crusade - AudiumThis February, KUSF's Community Crusade spotlights Audium, San Francisco's experimental theater of sound and space. Founded by composer Stan Shaff over 30 years ago, Audium is the only theater of its kind in the world. Inside, rows of chairs are set in concentric circles and surrounded by 169 speakers of different sizes and placement. Each performance is done in complete darkness and creates an unbelievable sensory experience.
Stan Shaff is a respected composer whose ideas about moving energy in composition are revolutionary. In Audium, he utilizes a wide spectrum of sounds, from chattering conversations to vintage synthesizers, marching bands to running water. He sculpts these sounds throughout the room, challenging the way we think about music and the space it's in.
Come and discover one of San Francisco's best kept secrets and help keep alive a truly underground community landmark. Audium performances are held each Friday and Saturday night at 8:30 P.M., but early arrival is vital. There is no late seating. That's Audium at 1616 Bush Street in San Francisco. Call 415-771-1616 for tickets and more information, or visit www.audium.org.
February 2006 Community Crusade - Healing MusesThis February, KUSF's Community Crusade celebrates the work of Healing Muses. The Healing Muses' Music for Healing program brings healing music to hospitals, clinics, hospices, convalescent homes, retreat centers and homebound individuals throughout the Bay Area. Using a combination of Medieval, Renaissance, Celtic music, American folk tunes and spirituals, Music for Healing promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety during stressful hospital stays and procedures.
Music for Healing began in 1999 at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Oakland. The Healing Muses' pilot program played music on the surgery, medical and intensive care floors, as well as in the hospital lobby. Healing Muses has expanded that work, now also offering lectures and workshops on the healing effects of music, and a CD, called Dolce Musica, a Contemplative Journey. They also perform bimonthly concerts at St. Alban's Church in Albany.
To support Healing Muses or for further information on the Music for Healing program, please call 510-524-5661, or visit www.healingmuses.org.
