The Park Slope Food Coop Concert Series is one of the most exciting initiatives we undertake as a community. With so many gifted and talented members, creating this series was a natural decision and a no-brainer.

The baton of music and performance curation was passed on to Jay and Alexis by Beverly Grant—a great artist and long-time member since the inception of the Food Coop. Beverly is an artist, photographer, singer-songwriter, composer, and activist who has greatly contributed to our community.
Jason Weiner and the membership staff have played a key role in bringing this event to life. We thank them for sharing the same joy and respect for the arts, which enriches all walks of life.

Before the shutdown, this concert series was a crucial and pinnacle way of bringing us closer together as a community that truly cares about the world around us. Art, in every aspect of our human experience, is a life-healing force.

After a long hiatus during the pandemic, the Park Slope Food Coop relaunches their monthly performance series. Featuring Eleonor Bindmam , Caroline Davis , Bev Grant, Adam Kahan and Anita Mae ,Maya Solovey with IIlusha Tsinadze

Alexis Cuadrado and Jay Rodriguez are both professional musicians, composers, and producers. They have expanded the vision of the curation to create a platform for freedom of expression for all. Shapeshifter Lab visionaries Fortuna Sung and Matthew Garrison have also become vital to our mission, generously providing us with their performance space across the street from the Food Coop.

Love Call
2024-09-13 21:30 - 22:30 | ShapeShifter Lab, 837 Union Street, Ground Floor, Brooklyn, NY, 11215, United States
Max Bessesen – alto saxophone
Ethan Philion – bass
Devin Drobka – drums

Love Call is a collaborative trio consisting of saxophonist Max Bessesen, bassist Ethan Philion, and drummer Devin Drobka. The trio formed during the height of the pandemic when Philion and Bessesen coped with their lack of performance opportunities by exploring adventurous new repertoire together in private sessions away from the stage. These informal meetings eventually coalesced into an exploration of free improvisation and abstract composition. The duo reunited with longtime-collaborator Devin Drobka when restrictions were lifted and the unit began to collaborate on new music while performing this material publicly around the country. Love Call performs several times a year ever since 2021 even though the group members live in different cities (New York, Chicago, Milwaukee). The trio has a distinctive musical approach marked by a congenial sense of trust and a unique, intuitive group language. Their performances feature free improvisation and compositions by each member of the group.

Buffi Jacobs Live Cello Looping Immersive
2024-09-15 19:00 - 20:00 | ShapeShifter Lab, 837 Union Street, Ground Floor, Brooklyn, NY, 11215, United States
Buffi Jacobs – Cello
Joel Olivas – Visuals

Buffi Jacobs, a distinguished modernistic cellist and composer, currently resides in the vibrant New York City. Celebrated for her role in The Polyphonic Spree, Jacobs is renowned for her enthralling performances, innovative compositions, and complex arrangements. Her career, spanning over three decades, is marked by a continuous exploration of new artistic dimensions, pushing the limits of musical expression and captivating audiences with her distinctive performances.
Her most recent project, “Solitary Contemplations,” is a poignant collection of compositions born out of the isolation experienced during the pandemic, and is visually enhanced by Joel Olivas. This artistic venture began as Jacobs was transitioning from the national tour of “Hamilton” to a new chapter in New York City. However, her move was soon eclipsed by the city’s lockdown, which forced her into solitude in an environment that was still new and unfamiliar. The compositions in this collection deeply reflect her experiences during this challenging time, capturing a wide range of emotions and thoughts she faced while isolated in a city that was yet to feel like home. Including both original works and reimagined pieces, “Solitary Contemplations” provides a deep and introspective look into Jacobs’ experiences of solitude during the pandemic.

David Bixler Auction Project featuring Arturo O'Farrill

David Bixler – Woodwinds
Heather Martin Bixler – Violin
Arturo O’Farrill – Piano
Raul Reyes – Bass
Vince Cherico – Percussion

Fusing Celtic, jazz and Afro-Latin influences, super group The Auction Project—led by saxophonist, flutist, and composer David Bixler, and featuring Grammy Award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill—create a surprising, richly textured and thoroughly enjoyable sound. The Auction Project explores how a traditional fiddle phrase fits atop a breezy, post-bop groove as this quintet makes history and stakes out uncommon musical territory. Down Beat magazine writes “The winning grace of Auction Project’s jazz-meets-Celtic (and sometimes Afro-Cuban) sound is its naturalness and intimacy.” After putting the band on pause for several years, Bixler has reinvented the band, inspired after spending the fall of 2023 in County Clare, Ireland studying the flute. In addition to O’Farrill and Bixler, The Auction Project features All-Ireland medalist violinist/fiddler Heather Bixler, Grammy Award-winning percussionist Vince Cherico, and bassist Raul Reyes.

Yin Yoga Workshop by Tiffany Ratliff

In this season of transition, find some nourishment for yourself in an evening focused on connecting deeply with your body through the meditative practice of Yin yoga. Concentrating on the deeper tissues of the body, we will spend our time together holding various poses for lengthened periods of time, using our breath as the mind’s anchor. Through this process we are able to release stagnant energy held in the tissues and create space for the places we tend to overlook. The class will open with a short meditation and close with an invitation to receive healing and restorative touch.
