Silent Surrealism, which recreates the ambience of the refined lounges of the Hotel Ritz and the smoky clubs of Paris in the 1930s, is a multi-media show combining live gypsy jazz with short, silent films, Now You Tell One, It's a Bird, The Fall of the House of Usher and The Land Beyond Sunset. It takes audiences back to a time when the artistic and literary style emerged as a means of expressing imagination and when writers and filmmakers were interested in the implications of words and images and providing the opportunity to vicariously experience the unknown.

The Hot Club of San Francisco is an ensemble of accomplished musicians who celebrate the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli's Hot Club de France. Like the original group, the ensemble performs all-string instrumentation, but presents innovative arrangements of classic tunes and original compositions from the group's lead guitarist, Paul Mehling. The Hot Club of San Francisco has produced eight albums and has performed internationally for more than 10 years, most recently at the Monterey Jazz Festival in September. "Acoustic Guitar magazine calls the group's playing "intricate, scorching and often brilliant."

$25, $30, $35, $45 & $50.
