Transit Futures

Sleight’s program Transit Futures (2024-current) features a collaborative composition called "Bay Transit: Futures and Artifacts," which takes inspiration from the Bay Area’s active and historic transit networks. This multimedia program features an original film by Oakland-based filmmaker Alan Zignoto accompanied by compositions written by ensemble members. 

This project was supported by the City of Berkeley Civic Arts Grant. 

Of California Ecology

Of California Ecology (2021-22) features new works based on different facets of California’s natural world. The trio (Eika Oba: flute, Stephanie Neumann: saxophones, and Jacob Lane: piano) will perform compositions by ensemble members, Julie Herndon, and call-for-scores winner Kian Ravaei. Drawing on the artists’ distinct backgrounds in jazz, band, and chamber music, the program is inspired by seismic activity, fungal biomes, waterways, and social ecology, among other natural phenomena. The result is a diverse set of works all created with the aim of bringing appreciation to California’s beautiful and delicate environment. 

A percentage of the proceeds were donated to supply aid to California fire victims. Thank you for any donations you can provide!
