BLING! (Beth Fleenor & Denney Goodhew)
Chapel Performance Space / Good Shepherd Center
4649 Sunnyside Ave N
8 pm / $5-15 sliding scale
Screaming silence in a whirling pool of stillness, BLING! formed in 2004 to bring together mentor and student in a performance dynamic that investigates and activates new levels of awareness. The duo, featuring Denney Goodhew on piano and Beth Fleenor on clarinet, explores mostly spontaneously composed chamber music, occasionally throwing in a composed work by Goodhew, with a commitment to ensemble intention and focused energy. BLING! opens itself to the space and the audience to channel, reveal and magnify subtleties in texture, timbre and tone and their inherent rhythm, melody and harmonic form - a meditation on presence and being.

DOUBLE YOKO (Beth Fleenor & Paris Hurley)
Chapel Performance Space / Good Shepherd Center
4649 Sunnyside Ave N
8 pm / $5-15 sliding scale
Experimental performance duo Double Yoko, featuring Beth Fleenor and Paris Hurley, weave their unusual blend of lush orchestral scoring, pointillism and keening noir-pop, using clarinet, bass clarinet, violin, voices and electronics. Stripping away layers of comfort to expose the raw core of each individual voice, Double Yoko steps to the edge of their personal abilities, calling on each other to stretch past the point of expectation. Through a disciplinary practice that involves time spent digesting daily experiences as much as composing new matter and materials, Double Yoko is a constantly shifting time-based entity that strives to process individual and collective experience to encourage growth and healing.
