Alterowitz's choreography has recently been presented by the 11th annual Women on the Way Festival in San Francisco, CA; an emerging choreographer's showcase in Monterrey, CA; and by North Carolina Dance Festival. In her research, Alterowitz focuses on female ballet choreographers and presents her scholarship at national and international dance conferences.

    A QSF JOURNEY Q U A R T E T S A N F R A N C I S C O A P R O F . J O H N S O N R E C O R D I N G The QSF journey into the future of chamber music is nearing the end of its second decade, and the group’s passion for playing the musical styles that bring them joy still inspires them. As musicians they stand on the shoulders of their sixteenth­century predecessors, who introduced their instruments to the western world. The early masters of string writing —Corelli, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Paganini— drew from the ethos of their time to create vibrant reflections of their culture. Fast forward three hundred years … Quartet San Francisco’s eclecticism embraces the spirit of our time, and we invite you to join in their journey into the chamber music of the 21st century. ABOUT THE MUSIC 1. Tango Eight (Cohen) 3. Tango Carnevale (Cohen) 5. Rhapsody in Bluegrass (Gershwin­Rouse, arr.

  • Sahba Aminikia / Composer
    SAHBA AMINIKIA / COMPOSER Born in post-revolutionary wartime in Iran, Aminikia was raised during a newly configured democracy that evolved from mass-executions, war, and violence into a society that—through the use of internet and technology—challenges the current political and social infrastructure. Highly influenced by the poetry of Hafiz, Rumi, and Saadi, as well as traditional, classical and jazz music and the albums of Pink Floyd, Beatles, and Queen, Aminikia cites music to be an immersive, transcendent, yet visceral human experience. He is curious about the duality in existence, and musically explores subjects that confront the pursuit of enlightenment amid darkness. A conscientious soul, due to his upbringing, he attempts at finding a common understanding for communication and dialogue through music. And, as a result, throughout his career, he has composed pieces that express the inevitability and triumph of hope. Today, Aminikia collaborates with other artists to create and compose meaningful work. He has been trained in musical composition under Iranian pianists Nikan Milani, Safa Shahidi, and perhaps most influenced by work with his first classical teacher, Mehran Rouhani, a post-graduate of Royal Academy of Music and a former student of Sir Michael Tippett. He later relocated to Russia where he studied at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory under Boris Ivanovich Tishchenko—a post-graduate student of Dimitri Shostakovich. He received his Bachelor of Music and his Master of Music with honors from San Francisco Conservatory of Music under Dan Becker, David Garner and David Conte where he was the proud recipient of Phyllis Wattis Foundation scholarship.
