Luciano Chessa: A Retrospective
YBCA’s annual festival of today’s visionary musicians and sound explorers, New Frequencies Fest 2016 underscores San Francisco’s reputation as a crucible for new music experimentation with Sound (In) Art.
Closing the show, Luciano Chessa showcases his past, recent, and premiere works through 64 hand-picked artists encompassing gospel, orchestra, symphony, and opera. The internationally renowned Bay Area based artist shapes A Retrospective as a self-portrait culminating 30 years of his artistry. The premiere, A Blind Date, takes inspiration from his personal life and experiences as an openly gay Italian man. Known for challenging traditionalism and exploring instruments beyond their inherent use, prepare to expect the unexpected.
