SUMMARY:Invisible Scissors\, Alice Cohen & Built by Scriabin
DESCRIPTION:Invisible Scissors: \nInvisible Scissors is an experimental duo formed out of NYC’s underground film community with previous projects in film\, music\, zines and expanded cinema performance. \nRachael Guma’s practice stems from work in foley sound. She plays with amplified objects made of metal and wood\, as well as a rotary phone\, theremin and other electronics. Sarah Halpern sings and plays electric guitar\, incorporating straight forward chord progressions as well as extended techniques based on ways of touching. Together they create a broad range of sounds rooted in physicality. \nAlice Cohen: \nAlice Cohen is a musician and visual artist based in Brooklyn\, NY. \nStarting out in Philly during the Sound of Philadelphia disco era\, she began releasing music in the late 1970s after entering a local radio contest. In 1979 she had her first release with Philly funk band Fun City\, “Save the Best for Last” (Chrysalis Records)\, and in 1982 wrote the song “Deetour” for Atlantic Records’ disco singer Karen Young. In the 80’s she was in the synth-pop band The Vels (Polygram Records)\, and in the 90’s she sang and played bass with grunge band Die Monster Die (Roadrunnner Records). \nIn recent years she has released a series of self-produced solo LPs on independent labels such as Olde English Spelling Bee\, Sixteen Tambourines (Tokyo)\, and NNA Tapes. To date – Cohen has released 7 solo LPs\, her 8th – “Archaeology” – comes out in October 2025. \nIn addition to her musical output\, Cohen is also a visual artist known primarily for her work in stop motion collage animation. She has created numerous music videos\, and her work has been shown in galleries and screenings worldwide. \nBuilt by Scriabin: \nBuilt by Scriabin brings together a group of long-time collaborators to explore the outer boundaries of the Cosmic American Folk landscape\, channeling songwriter Jim Strong’s instincts for noise\, paranoid psychedelia\, and surrealism into meticulously crafted full-band arrangements. Their sound has been described as “Leonara Carrington does the basement tapes” (Wire Magazine). After its beginnings as a short-lived musical saw orchestra\, the project has evolved into something strangely melodic—even catchy—seemingly far removed from the Himalayan foothills where the visionary composer Alexander Scriabin imagined immersive environments of sound and light as a means of accelerating human evolution. Wait and see. Strong has been active in underground music for two decades\, performing in projects as varied as Melkings\, Weyes Blood\, Eyes of the Amaryllis\, and Aponia A.D. In addition to building homemade musical instruments\, he works across a range of media as a visual artist. He is joined by Jordan Burgis\, Jacob Brunner\, Gabe Romero\, and possibly other special guests. \naccessibility: two steps from street to venue. \nPlease note\, entrance is via the side door on Arizona Street.

SUMMARY:Spite of Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Presented in Collaboration with Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture \nSpite of Darkness: \nSpite of Darkness is a Detroit-based experimental ensemble led by Palestinian-American composer and violinist Mike Khoury. Built on a unique structural foundation of two violins and two drummers\, the quartet explores the intersection of contemporary classical\, avant-jazz\, and Arab-American musical traditions. \nThe group—which features Khoury and violinist Indira Edwards—is known for its raw\, percussive energy and intricate melodic interplay. The drum chairs are held by Bill Dixon alum\, Ben Hall\, and Ali Allen Colding who worked with James Blood Ulmer\, Sam Sanders and Dorothy Ashby. Spite of Darkness functions as a vehicle for Khoury’s compositions\, challenging traditional genre boundaries and offering a modern\, improvisational take on the Detroit experimental scene. \nvenue is wheelchair accessible \nAdditional support for this event provided by mediaThe foundation.

SUMMARY:Cosmic Music: The Life\, Art and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ars Nova Workshop to celebrate the release of journalist Andy Beta’s essential new biography\, Cosmic Music: The Life\, Art and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane\, featuring a performance by keyboardist Surya Botofasina\, at Solar Myth on Thursday\, June 18\, 2026. \nIn Cosmic Music\, music journalist Andy Beta traces the life\, career and legacy of pianist\, organist\, harpist and composer Alice Coltrane\, one of the most misunderstood artists of the last sixty years. The first full biography of this remarkable\, groundbreaking artist is an elegant\, deeply researched corrective to the historical—and critical—record. It elevates Coltrane to her proper place alongside her husband\, the iconic saxophonist John Coltrane\, as one of the greatest musical visionaries of the 20th century\, and also as a singular artist in Western music\, one who became a spiritual leader in her lifetime. \nTo celebrate the biography’s release\, Ars Nova will present keyboardist Surya Botofasina\, who was raised as a spiritual student of Alice Coltrane at the Sai Anantam Ashram in Southern California. Her musical and religious teachings continue to have a profound effect on the keyboardist\, whose career has since gone on to take in acting stints in the TV series Vinyl and Boardwalk Empire alongside a diverse range of musical collaborations with the likes of Reggie Workman\, Joey Bada$$\, Gangstarr’s GURU\, Amel Larrieux\, N’Dea Davenport\, Georgia Anne Muldrow\, and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. \n\n\n\n\nThis is an 21+ event.

SUMMARY:Sasha Berliner
DESCRIPTION:Originally from San Francisco\, California\, Sasha Berliner is a rock drummer turned vibraphonist who studied under Stefon Harris. At 21\, she became the youngest individual in the poll’s history to top the “Rising Star – Vibraphone” category in the DownBeat Critics’ Poll. She has continued to be voted one of the top ten vibraphonists in the poll every year since 2021. Writing in All About Jazz\, critic Paul Rauch said\, “Berliner is in the firmament of the here and now in modern jazz\, and appears likely to occupy that upper stratosphere for some time to come.” \nThe politically charged\, style-blending\, alternative sound of Berliner’s 2019 debut\, Azalea\, employed digital effects\, synths\, audio speech samples\, and strings\, bringing together her diverse musical background and influences. Since then she has released the live outing Tabula Rasa and two further studio offerings\, Onyx (2022) and Fantome (2025). In addition to performing with her own band\, Berliner has recorded and performed live with such renowned musicians as Tyshawn Sorey\, Nicholas Payton\, Christian McBride\, and Cecile Mclorin Salvant.

SUMMARY:Nduduzo Makhathini
DESCRIPTION:The acclaimed South African pianist\, composer\, healer\, and philosopher Nduduzo Makhathini merges spirit-seeking American jazz — in particular\, the music of his heroes John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner — with the most irresistible traits of South African jazz and the galvanizing rhythms of Afro-Cuban music. Like Trane and Tyner on A Love Supreme\, he’s forever pushing and ascending; at the same time\, his touch and language on the piano are imbued with the earthy\, gospel-tinged melodic radiance of Abdullah Ibrahim or his greatest mentor\, Bheki Mseleku. \nActive as an educator and researcher\, Makhathini is the head of the music department at Fort Hare University in the Eastern Cape\, was a member of Shabaka and the Ancestors\, and has collaborated with artists including Logan Richardson\, Nasheet Waits\, Tarus Mateen\, Stefon Harris\, Billy Harper\, Azar Lawrence\, and Ernest Dawkins. At Solar Myth\, Makhathini will celebrate the release of The Myth We Choose\, his fourth release for Blue Note Records. Co-produced by Makhathini and his 18-year-old son\, the stirring new album focuses on the impact his music will make throughout the arc of time. \n\n\n\n\n\nThese are seated shows. \n  \n\n\nProgram Info\n$30 ADV / $35 DOS\n21 & Over \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lesley Mok\, Koof Ibi & LN Celestine
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented with The Low Pass: \nLesley Mok: \nLesley Mok is a New York City-based percussionist and sound artist. Their work is guided by a continual search for the connection between the mundane and the divine\, the experience and manipulation of time\, and a desire to capture emotional dissonance and complexity. Lesley’s ongoing explorations with composition and improvisation are most notably documented in their debut album The Living Collection (released May 2023 on American Dreams Records). The album\, described as “an exquisite and stimulating work” by All About Jazz and “a singularly personal statement” by Jazz Trail Magazine\, was named International Debut Album of the Year at the 2024 Deutscher Jazz Preis. As a collaborator\, Lesley has shared the stage with Tomeka Reid\, William Parker\, Ingrid Laubrock\, Marilyn Crispell\, Craig Taborn\, Myra Melford\, Mary Halvorson\, and Rafiq Bhatia among others. They have performed throughout the Americas\, Asia\, and Europe. \nTheir new release Transient combines drums and electronics to paint a landscape that explores the sculptural qualities of beat-making\, ambience\, and movement. Inspired by free jazz\, noise\, sounds from the natural environment\, and artists like Autechre and Robert Hood\, this record traverses a soundscape that goes from kinetic maximalism to delicate stillness\, creating a listening experience that bends and warps time. \nKoof Ibi: \nKoof Ibi is a multi-instrumentalist in the Philadelphia area. You can find him strolling down Broad Street with brass bands like The West Philadelphia Orchestra\, or sharing the stage with rockstars like Japanese Breakfast for their hometown gigs. Koof has played every genre of music Philly has to offer and incorporates all of it into his own musical style. When he’s not playing music he’s filming and editing the Random Tea Sessions\, a music video series highlighting other musicians in Philadelphia\, or he’s behind the lens covering live shows for the WXPN. \nAt his solo shows Koof combines live instruments\, loops\, and guitar pedals to create surprising soundscapes and sonic liberation. \nLN Celestine: \n“LN Celestine met us at our level\, crouched on the floor like a catcher as she powered up her circular arc of small electronics and effects pedals. Through live looping\, Celestine built up a ragged battalion of drones\, bowing her violin and singing wordless notes into a microphone in sparse iterations. For a crowd dressed almost exclusively in browns and blacks\, this sort of Realtree hunting-cap ambient fit right in (…) The Grouper aesthetic tells us that the end is near\, that the technology we so desperately cling to will soon be dumped in the woods next to yesteryear’s tractor\, rusted and mossed over\, and it clearly resonates with this generation of art-minded young people who have only ever read about prosperity. LN Celestine offered a peaceful space for decay.”-YellowGreenRed \nvenue is wheelchair accessible
