Since 2001, he’s been splitting his time between the US and Bahia, working with his own ensembles.

November 11, 2025 8:00-10:00PM Arco Belo & Medukha + Shiraz Ensemble at The Perch Music and Arts Community

 

ARCO BELO is a group of high-energy improvisers dedicated to redefining the concert form. Drawing its name from the words bow and bellow, the ensemble captures an irreverent sound melding reeds, strings, and percussive timbres. Led by pianist, accordionist, and composer Simone Baron, their adventurous compositions reimagine a sound at the junction of avant-garde chamber music, creative jazz, Brazilian music, and diasporic music. Together, they skip effortlessly from long-form neo-baroque string counterpoint to sludgy hip-hop pads.

Shiraz Ensemble is a contemporary music group that unites Iranian musicians performing traditional instruments in the United States. Built on the values of curiosity, innovation, open dialogue, and experimentation, Shiraz Ensemble is dedicated to creating new music and collaborating closely with composers, performers, and interdisciplinary artists. Our mission is to deconstruct and reconstruct the rich traditions of Iranian classical music, transforming them into new forms through contemporary composition techniques.

Medukha uses ethnographic recordings, tokens of our homelands, the languages we've grown up with, and the folk music conventions we've been exposed to as an emotive vehicle for interrogating the immigrant experience: a wedding song from Southeastern Poland with patriarchal undertones becomes a curbside conversation with a bird, a Ukrainian spring song is fractured into an unrecognizable ambient soundscape, a song with disputed origins becomes fertile ground for a new language.

NIGHT of INDONESIAN DANCE
– From a rich history of Inclusion

Saturday, Nov. 8 @ 6 - 8 PM

Come celebrate inclusion through the lens of gender fluidity by honoring ancient traditions that challenge current rigid ideals. Indonesia has a rich history of embracing diverse gender identities in art and daily life, despite colonial and modern pressures that increased discrimination. Modero Dance Company brings these traditions to life, presenting dances from across the islands that highlight how art can create space for diverse expressions of self, reflecting a more seamless expression of gender in contrast to our Western norms. This special evening reflects our commitment to diversity, understanding, and celebrating every voice.
