City Lights at 60: Literary Event Series | SF

San Francisco’s City Lights is perhaps one of the most well known bookstores in the country, if not the world. It was fertile ground for the Beat Generation and continues to serve as the cornerstone of the city’s literary community.

City Lights at 60 is a special series of anniversary events in the bookstore and throughout the city hosted by some of the editors, writers, artists, and friends of City Lights.

Conspiracy of Venus | City Lights at 60: Literary Event Series | SF

Conspiracy of Venus is an all women’s a cappella vocal ensemble based in San Francisco, California. Under the artistic direction of Joyce Todd McBride, the women of CoV interpret her daring and inventive arrangements of contemporary music, ranging from the classic (Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi”), to the cutting edge (Bjork’s “Possibly Maybe”), with dazzling technical verve and tons of personality.

The group’s repertoire also includes works by David Bowie, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, The Pixies, Bill Withers, Rufus Wainwright, and Roger Miller.
