Sarah Howe is a composer and video artist currently residing in the Bay Area. After having acquired her BFA in Multi-Focused Music Technologies from the California Institute of the Arts, she is now working towards completing her Masters degree in Electronic Music and Recording Media at Mills College. Sarah loves to connect with others through music and video by creating work that is expressive and personal. Outside of composing she is a skilled sound reinforcement engineer and Max/MSP programmer. She loves to utilize her skills by working with other artists through collaboration and helping them accomplish their needs for technology. Sarah currently works for Keith McMillen Instruments, helping to put out innovative technology for musicians like herself.
Karl Evangelista ranks among a new wave of creative musicians emerging out of the Bay Area music scene that draw on both jazz and a tradition of 20th century musical experimentation. Born in Van Nuys, California to two Filipino immigrants, Evangelista brings a timely cultural perspective to the Bay Area music community, exploring the place of multiculturalism and ethnic co-existence in an increasingly post-cultural, trans-idiomatic cultural space.
Evangelista has explored the possibilities of intercultural dialogues across a vast spectrum of academic and professional situations. Evangelista has worked in a wide variety of ensembles with or under the direction of, among others, India Cooke, Fred Frith, Hafez Modirzadeh, Lewis Jordan, Myra Melford, Zeena Parkins, John-Carlos Perea, Gino Robair, Daniel Schmidt, Moe Staiano, and Francis Wong, has performed in new arrangements of works by Muhal Richard Abrams, Luciano Chessa, Christian Jendreiko, Roscoe Mitchell, and Polly Moller, leads his own trio/quartet, and co-leads the collective Host Family and the category five musical hurricane known as Grex. Evangelista’s interest in fostering cross-cultural musical dialogues has also led to grant-based research (’08) on the Blue Notes, a group of South African exile musicians (paper presented at the Guelph Jazz Festival, ’08), multiple guest lectures at UC Berkeley, and continued work at the community-based East Bay Center for the Performing Arts. Evangelista holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from UC Berkeley (’06) and an MFA in Improvised Music from Mills College (’09).
