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 Ludovica 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. \nJason 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. Alexis Cuadrado and Ludovica Burtone 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. \nInstagram

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 Ludovica 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. \nJason 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. Alexis Cuadrado and Ludovica Burtone are both professional musicians\, composers\, producers\, and educators. 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. Annie Keating does the magic with social media and Ave Carrillo  is helping the group to the production side of things the concert series. \nInstagram

SUMMARY:Aya Sekine: REUNION (with special opening set by Akiko Pavolka)
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based pianist and improviser Aya Sekine makes her long-awaited return to her old home\, New York City\, to premiere her solo project Annoyed Yet Authentic (AYA) — her first-ever improvised solo set in the city. Her performance explores a colorful world of shifting shapes\, junk sounds\, and complex tonality and rhythm — unpredictable\, textured\, and soul-stirring. Opening the evening is longtime friend Akiko Pavolka\, performing original songs that fuse jazz\, pop\, and poetic storytelling. A rare gathering and reunion — for artists\, friends\, and a celebration of making it through a difficult decade. \n\nAKIKO PAVOLKA BIOGRAPHY \nAkiko Pavolka is a New York-based musician\, composer and educator who’s strikingly original music blends pop and jazz with the music and sensibilities of her native Japan. Akiko was born in Tokyo and grew up in Yokohama.  By her teen years she was performing as a singer\, bassist and drummer with rock bands.  Her interests turned to jazz and\, after several years of moonlighting as a vocalist in Tokyo while working as a banker by day\, she decided to move to the United States to further her studies at Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music.  She graduated in 1994 with a degree in Performance and was also awarded the Cleo Laine Outstanding Vocalist Award.  She moved to New York City in 1995 and formed her band House Of Illusion shortly thereafter.  She has been performing her original music regularly in New York ever since\, and in addition she has toured extensively on the West Coast of the US and in Portugal\, Spain\, Italy\, Switzerland\, Argentina\, and her native Japan.  She has released seven albums of her own music\, the most recent being “Into The Light” from the Lisbon-based label Timbuktu.  An eighth record is in production. \nAYA SEKINEJazz Pianist · Improviser · Composer · Visual Artist · Educator \nAya Sekine is a jazz pianist and improviser originally from Osaka\, Japan\, whose career spans over three decades across Japan\, Southeast Asia\, and the United States. A Berklee-trained musician who developed her voice in New York’s underground scene\, she became a key figure in Southeast Asia’s jazz movement before relocating to Detroit in 2024 as a U.S. EB-1 Artist Green Card recipient. \nHer artistry is deeply rooted in Black American music traditions\, shaped by her early background as a percussionist. Rhythmic and percussive yet harmonically rich\, her playing combines soulful phrasing with deep respect for jazz history and tradition\, sophisticated harmony\, and a fearless use of space and tone. Her improvisations are original and swinging\, marked by bold dissonance and emotional clarity. Blending intensity and restraint\, tradition and experiment\, Sekine’s voice expands the language of bebop while venturing into freer\, more exploratory forms. \nSince moving to Detroit\, she has become an active and sought-after presence\, performing at key venues including Blue LLama\, Motor City Wine\, Music Hall\, Moondog Cafe\, Trinosophes\, and Parts & Labor. Her festival appearances include Strange Beautiful Music(SBM)\, Michigan Jazz Festival\, Summer Solstice Jazz Festival\, and Third Place Music Festival. \nShe leads Junk Jazz with Djallo Djakate and curates Ayaschool\, her long-running project space centered on experimentation and creative process. She is a founder of Brazilian Music Study Club Detroit and teaches at Michigan State University’s Detroit Community Music School. \n  \n\n\n\nhttps://ayasekine.bandcamp.com/track/annoyed-yet-authentic\nhttps://instagram.com/ayaschool\nhttps://akikopavolka.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-light
