    Rhythmix Cultural Works, Alameda’s destination for global arts and culture, presents the third annual Wine, Women & Song Festival on Saturday, August 20 from 3 pm to 7 pm at its beautifully renovated industrial performing arts space. All proceeds from the event support free cultural arts education programs for youth in Alameda and Oakland.

    Celebrating nine years as a destination for the arts in Alameda, Rhythmix Cultural Works presents its third annual Wine, Women & Song Festival featuring some of the Bay Area's finest women winemakers, musicians and artists. Experience tasty temptations and luscious libations alongside contemporary art and world-class music ranging from jazz fusion to taiko to rhythm and blues.   

    The festivities will spotlight women winemakers, musicians and artists, and will culminate in a concert from 5 pm to 7 pm featuring the one-night-only reunion of acclaimed Latin jazz fusion band Wild Mango. Other performers include taiko fusion ensemble Maze Daiko; funk, blues and rock singer/songwriter Tracy Blackman; and Rhythmix’s 2015 Golden Gear Award winner for Best Performing Artist Diana Rowan on harp.

    From 3 pm to 5 pm, participants will enjoy wine and food tastings in the Rhythmix courtyard, accompanied by live music, a salsa dance performance, a silent auction and wine raffle, and a panel discussion on women in the wine industry moderated by award-winning sommelier Traci Dutton of the Culinary Institute of America.

    “When it comes to women in the wine industry in this region, we have just a ton of talent,” says Dutton, named one of the top wine country sommeliers by Tasting Panel magazine. “I am so excited to hear from the panelists about their varied paths to success, as well as the opportunities they see women making in the field.” 

    All proceeds support Rhythmix’s Performance, Art & Learning (PAL) program, which provides cultural arts assemblies at no cost to schools in Alameda and Oakland.
