Helen Wicks Works

Helen Wicks Works and Alive & Well Productions Present An evening of Live Music & Dance RESERVE YOUR TICKETS!  This event is coproduced by SF International Arts Festival  About the Works Radio Vision   HELEN WICKS WORKS Radio Vision is a dance that synthesizes a decade of ancestral research on Helen’s great grandfather, Hollywood music supervisor, Joe Gershenson, a conversation she had with Quincy Jones in 2018, and Nadia Boulanger’s impact on 20th century music. This work combines histories of film scoring, the origins of broadcast television, and trajectories in entertainment technology that led to mass media. Radio Vision uses epigenetic inquiry, oral histories, fantasy, and memory to contextualize performance and entertainment over the past 100 years. The work includes a live rendition of a Nadia Boulanger score (1914) played by cellist Ami Nashimoto and Grammy nominated pianist Keisuke Nakagoshi and a digital sound collage by Simon Linsteadt.  Photos above by Robbie Sweeny The Four Seasons of Hamadan by ALIVE & WELL PRODUCTIONS Composed by Kian Ravaei and choreographed by Annie Kahane, The Four Seasons of Hamadan is a duet for live violinist and dancer that interweaves Persian and Jewish music and dance traditions to express intercultural harmony. Premiered in February, 2025 (Los Angeles), this project blends folkloric forms from the artists’ respective heritages and reimagines that material through a contemporary lens. The Four Seasons of Hamadan is performed by Yvette Holzwarth (violin) and Kate Myers (dancer), and was funded by a grant from The New Music USA.  A duet for dancer, Kate Myers and violist Yvette Holzwarth About Alive & Well Productions Composer Kian Ravaei:  Composer Kian Ravaei takes tone painting to a new level, synthesizing diverse inspirations ranging from the Iranian music of his ancestral heritage to the pulsating electronic music of late-night dance clubs. He has collaborated with sought-after artists such as Lara Downes, Tessa Lark, and Anthony McGill, and has received a Copland House CULTIVATE Fellowship, a Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Composer Teaching Artist Fellowship, a Chamber Music Northwest Protégé Project Residency Award, a New Music USA Creator Fund Award, and a Barlow Endowment Commission. He is currently a C.V. Starr Doctoral Fellow at The Juilliard School. The show was featured in Bay Dance and SF Gate Photo by Robbie Sweeny Friday night will include a brief discussion with the artists moderated by the one and only… Zina Goodall!  TIX HERE - Get yours before they’re gone!
