Events

Are you musically curious? Musicians and those who are interested in listening are invited to Brentwood Arts Exchange’s monthly Curiosity Jam! We welcome singers and instrumentalists from any culture in the world. Our goal is to share music and encourage cross-cultural collaboration. World music band Kundalika is the house backing band, with sitar-guitar, acoustic guitar, upright bass, and djembe on hand. Please bring copies of sheet music if you have it (e.g. if you’re doing a jazz standard), as it helps a lot. Percussionists, please bring along something to play on (we do not have a drum kit). If we aren’t able to accompany you, you are welcome to play solo! This is a judgement-free zone.

In addition to “open mic” time, each monthly jam will also feature a special segment, the world music group jam. We’ll teach folks how to play the basic outline of an Indian classical music scale on their own instrument (or sing it vocally). Then we’ll lay down a groove and do a jam with all the musicians there playing together! No knowledge of Indian music required; we’ll have handouts in Western notation.

Inflammation can be a friend or foe, but when it sticks around too long it can cause long-term health issues. Join us as we explore the causes of inflammation with a Giant nutritionist. In this session, you’ll also learn how to fight inflammation naturally by incorporating healthy foods in your diet to improve your overall health. Registration required. All ages welcome. FREE

Come join the world space party that is Yuri’s Night, a celebration of humankind’s first entry into space by Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961, and the first Space Shuttle launch on April 12, 1981. Yuri’s Night aims to use space to bring the world together, to empower the greatest parts of who we are, and give vision to where we are going. Multi-instrumentalist improviser and composer Sarah Marie Hughes will join experimental electronic musician Pat Cain for a collaborative imagination of music from space, spacey sounds, and alien imaginings.
