Lemon Chicago - A come as you are cocktail bar and show space.

An original story conceived by Filipina artist Leslie Damaso, Sirena is set within new compositions and contemporary arrangements of kundiman songs of love and freedom.

Mr. Chair with Jon Hoel and String Quartet - Free Concert at Cafe Coda (1224 Williamson St, Madison, WI 53703) as part of the Madison Jazz Festival!

A multimedia project created by Madison, Wisconsin area artists Leslie Damaso, Ben Ferris, Mike Koszewski and Jason Kutz, featuring Chicago based Jon Irabagon, Janice Lee and Jose Guzman. Along with art and poetry, SIRENA blends a personal story, family secrets, a mythic love triangle ending in the beginning of a nation, the displacement of its people, an individual’s perspective of belonging and a spectacular celebration of community. The music includes traditional Filipino kundiman songs, kulintang, with new compositions combined with jazz and classical influences.
