Chico has released multiple albums to critical acclaim, and he has been nominated twice for the American Grammy Awards. Join us for this special evening combining Brazilian brilliance and fine art at the Mahder Gallery.

Today, Chico is considered a leading figure in and outside the Brazilian music scene, who has distinguished himself as a guitarist, composer, and arranger.

Along with his main projects, he has collaborated with leading artists such as Placido Domingo, Dave Grusin, Dianne Reeves, Kurt Elling, Danilo Pérez, Herbie Hancock, Brian Blade, Ron Carter, Renee Rosnes, Julian Lage, and Esperanza Spalding to name a few.

Just days before John Coltrane would have turned 100, his son, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, presents a blazing young band to mark the milestone. Ravi, 60, spent the first quarter-century of his career acquiring a diverse array of experience and honing his own lustrous, harmonically slippery compositions. But in recent years he’s taken up the family mantle with a variety of projects and initiatives on and off the bandstand, championing the legacy of both his parents, John and Alice Coltrane.

For this celebration, he’s joined by the brilliant trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson, a longtime collaborator who graduated from Berkeley High. Israeli pianist/keyboardist Gadi Lehavi made his Village Vanguard debut with Ravi at 15. Now 30, he’s more than lived up to his enormous potential. Powering the quartet is Bay Area-reared drum sensation Elé Howell, 28, a supremely musical accompanist who gained national attention when Coltrane started hiring him in 2021 for various projects, including Cosmic Music: Revisiting the Music of John and Alice Coltrane.

John Coltrane's presence continues to illuminate new directions for exploration. Join us for this special Centennial Celebration with Ravi Coltrane and his band.

In a pop culture world defined by its perpetual changes, the partnership of singer songwriter Pat Benatar and producer-musician Neil Giraldo has been a potent, steadfast union that has soared to the top of the charts and into fans’ hearts on their own terms.

Benatar’s staggering vocals and take-no-prisoners attitude, along with Giraldo’s trailblazing artistry as a guitarist, producer, and songwriter forged the undeniable chemistry and unique sound that created eternal rock hits, including “We Belong,” “Invincible,” “Love Is a Battlefield,” “Promises In The Dark,” “We Live For Love,” “Heartbreaker,” and “Hell Is For Children."

Their stunning achievements are a testament to their vision. Together, Benatar and Giraldo have created two multi-platinum, five platinum, and three gold albums, along with 19 Top 40 hits. They’ve sold more than 36 million records worldwide and earned four consecutive Grammy Awards®, an unprecedented accomplishment. Their honors also include three American Music Awards, a People’s Choice Award, induction into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2008), and, most recently, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Their latest project, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling children’s book, My Grandma and Grandpa Rock! (Sourcebooks), continues their creative legacy in a whole new way. The book is a labor of love for grandparents and grandchildren everywhere.
