Experience Nitzan Gavrieli live on August 9th

Nitzan Gavrieli will perform at Black Cat in San Francisco on August 9, 2026. Gavrieli is an Israeli-American composer and performer known for his work with the oud, a pear-shaped, stringed instrument common in Middle Eastern music. His musical style blends traditional Middle Eastern sounds with elements of jazz, classical, and electronic music, often incorporating improvisation and extended techniques. He frequently explores themes of cultural identity and displacement within his compositions.

Black Cat is a longstanding live music venue located in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco. Originally established as a jazz club in 1997 by owner Dave Enos, it quickly became known for showcasing diverse musical genres beyond jazz, including blues, Latin, world music, and experimental sounds. The venue’s intimate setting – holding approximately 250 people – contributes to its reputation for fostering close connections between performers and audiences. Black Cat has hosted numerous nationally and internationally recognized artists throughout its history and continues to operate as a vital part of San Francisco’s independent music scene. The space itself maintains a deliberately unpolished aesthetic reflecting its commitment to artistic expression over lavish presentation.
