PRESIDIO SESSIONS – Friday Evenings at 6 pm
_In the intimate atmosphere of a house concert, experience jazz,
contemporary, and classical music, and enjoy opportunities to converse
with performers and each other.Offered in partnership with the San
Francisco Friends of Chamber Music._
lla Cantor [http://ilacantor.com/] is a young, dynamic, award-winning
guitarist and composer. Although grounded in jazz, her music and
playing challenges our contemporary categories of music. Her _Encanto_
project showcases the _charango_, a guitar-like instrument most
commonly heard in South American folk music genres. She has studied at
the New School University in New York and the Banff Center for the
Arts in Alberta, Canada, as well as in Spain with renowned Argentine
composer and pianist Guillermo Klein, and with mentors such as John
Scofield, John Abercrombie and Ben Monder. Her music has been featured
in the award-winning films _Horizons_ and _Blast_.
