FSN Pressenfs is coming back this Saturday, February 28th at 4pm at . It’s going to be a really good one so grab your tickets now via the link in our bio!

This show features composer-performer Zosha Warpeha (), who uses bowed string instruments and voice to explore transformations of time and tonality at the intersection of contemporary improvisation and folk traditions. She is joined by Sean Meehan, a drummer who began performing in the late 1980s at the Amica Bunker series for improvised music, located at the Anarchist’s Switchboard (later ABC No Rio) in NYC, and whose work celebrates the act of listening as much as the production of sound, bringing the audience’s attention to both spatial acoustics and social interactions within a space.

We can’t wait to see you!
