FREE! Brown Bag Jazz Hangs: Beth Schenck — on Lee Konitz
Join us for casual daytime talks and listening sessions with leading lights of the Bay Area jazz community. Bring your own lunch or order ahead from the JazzCaffè. Wednesdays at lunchtime! Free, drop-ins welcome.
Our summer series is presented in collaboration with The Freight.
Beth Schenck has been an integral part of the Bay Area’s jazz, improvised, and new music scenes for more than a decade. Her recent projects as a leader and composer include works for solo saxophone (Above and Below, Innova, 2022); the saxophone quartet Social Stutter; the Beth Schenck Quintet (Dahlia, Queen Bee Records, 2025); Present/Past Quartet; and House of Faern. Schenck has collaborated and performed as a sideperson with the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Jenny Scheinman, Todd Sickafoose, Tina Raymond, Judith Berkson, Jordan Glenn, and Matt Small. She has performed her music for audiences around the world, from New York and Los Angeles to Europe and Asia. The Bay Area music scene remains her chosen home, where she continues to create music with her favorite collaborators, all of whom happen to be members of the Beth Schenck Quintet.
