San Francisco Dance Card

MSIG members Luis-Manuel Garcia and Ali Colleen Neff have gathered an
impressive list of music and sound events that will take place during the AAA
meetings in diverse venues throughout San Francisco.  Please take a look at the
San Francisco Dance Card and select the events you would like to attend!

In addition, MSIG invites you to Sunday service at the Church of St. John Coltrane
on Sunday, November 18th, at 11:45 a.m at 1286 Fillmore St. This San Francisco
institution, founded in the Fillmore jazz district, follows an African Orthodox
theology and engages a process of “sound baptism” in its services. Church
members lead a series of improvised chants, sermons and instrumental
movements. Visitors are encouraged to bring instruments and voices to join in
an emergent musical chorus throughout the service. Archbishop Franzo King
and church members will be available to speak with AAA members after the
service, which ends between 2 and 3 p.m.. Brunch will follow. Donations to the
church are welcome. For more information, call MSIG organizer Ali Colleen Neff,
who will be present at the service, at 919-308-1072 or visit the church website
at: /www.coltranechurch.org.
