The intimate candlelit surroundings of Bernard Maybeck's Swedenborgian Church (built in 1895) will be the scene of America's first-ever New Music Seance, presented by Other Minds, featuring hypnotic, spiritual and rarely-heard contemporary music that spans the period from Erik Satie#39s Gnossienne No. 5 (1889) through to the present. The three concerts will feature five hours of solo piano music played by Sarah Cahill, with additional performances by Kate Stenberg, violin, with Swiss pianist Eva-Maria Zimmermann, including Charles Ives' Second Violin Sonata.
