Silvia Matheus and Thomas Miley were featured in this year's time-honored summer solstice event: "Garden of Memory". The venue is a labyrinth, Julia Morgan-designed columbarium, and mausoleum replete with gardens, fountains, and stained-glass skylights. The concert, described by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a walk-through fun house of musical and visual splendor," also featured Bay area composers and performers Pamela Z, Amy X Neuburg, Ellen Fullman & Theresa Wong, Fred Frith, Beth Custer, Gyan Riley, the William Winant Percussion Ensemble, Sarah Cahill, Ken Ueno, Paul Dresher and Joel Davel, Kitka, the Cardew Choir, Adam Fong, Maggi Payne, Monique Buzzarte, Luciano Chessa, Dan Plonsey's Daniel Popsicle, Krys Bobrowski Wobbly, and others. Silvia got a special mention in this review and a description of a spontaneous improvisation with concert-goers in the last paragraph of this blog entry.
