THE 27 CAFE CALENDAR
KAROL KONSTANCIA, LEA JAFFE & HARLEY HOLLENSTEIN
Friday, November 6th
8:00PM
Karol Konstancia is an electroacoustic musician who uses feedback, voice, improvisation and concrete compositional practices to create narratively dense retellings of Polish Highland folk music.
Lea Jaffe is a New York-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Jaffe finds a more introspective and genre-agnostic solo folk endeavor centered around her guitar compositions. The project explores the country and Appalachian folk heart of her North Carolina upbringing through experimental techniques, often traversing the landscape of drone and industrial music.
Harley Hollenstein b. 1993 is a visual artist and musician living in Brooklyn, NY.

ASHCAN ORCHESTRA & MORGAN EVANS-WEILER AND J.P.A. FALZONE
Saturday, November 21th
8:00PM
Ashcan Orchestra is a growing collection of homemade instruments, a revolving ensemble of performers, and pseudonym for NYC based composer and amateur engineer P. Spadine. Seeking the profound through play, Ashcan has been developing a musical language and an accompanying instrumentation to exemplify our shared ability to create and thrive in spaces parallel to the consumer cult. Presenting ritualistic, mostly bell centric performances of sound and light on stages both spontaneous and institutional since 2007, Ashcan is grateful for each opportunity to shake some joy and/or wonder out of the air.
Morgan Evans-Weiler and J. P. A. Falzone have been working together since meeting in 2015. They have performed together as a duo and as part of the composer-performer collective, Ordinary Affects. Evans-Weiler and Falzone have both composed numerous pieces, individually and collaboratively, for themselves as a duo, with a focus on microtonality and music of extended duration. They have performed in churches, museums, galleries, and artist spaces as a duo and their music has been released by labels such as Another Timbre, Kuyin Editions, and Sawyer Editions.
Featuring a live video performance from Les LeVeque.

Jacqui Cornetta is a writer, translator, musician, and artist. Their recent live sets experiment with electronics and harp, as beastly, tactile mobile architecture. Their latest album Three Visions was released on Lattice Grove records in May 2026, and staged at QNCC in Brooklyn, as a one-nighly-only opera of collaborative research with a group of artists and friends. Their translation from the Spanish of María Miranda's Pools comes out with A Perfect Vacuum in early 2027. They teach writing and translation at Queens College CUNY and are currently a student at the Bard College MFA in Music/Sound.
