J.F.R. (Jazz For Republicans) is an experimental project blending improvisation, poetry, and sampled soundscapes in a free-flowing exploration of music, society and protest. Each track deconstructs political themes into sounds and transforms them into music inviting listeners to grapple with the discord of polarization while celebrating the transformative power of music as a tool for dialogue, reflection and healing.


Seba Molnar is an award-winning saxophonist, composer, and educator based in Boston, Massachusetts. Originally from Canton, New York, he moved to Boston in 2012 to attend Berklee College of Music, where he studied with renowned saxophonists George Garzone, Bill Pierce, and Tia Fuller.Known for his soulful sound and creative spirit, he has quickly emerged as a rising star in jazz sharing stages with Grammy and Emmy-Award winning artists such as Patrice Rushen, Ghost-Note, Braxton Cook, Makaya McCraven, Julius Rodriguez, Debo Ray and many more. Regularly performing in Boston and touring New England, Molnar has also been featured at numerous festivals like the Charles River Jazz Fest, Boston Jazz Fest, Burlington Discover Jazz Fest, and First Night Boston.Molnar’s music is deeply rooted in jazz, yet his innovative spirit and collaborative nature drives him to explore diverse genres and new sounds. His debut album Level Up was released in 2020, featuring mentor George Garzone. On November 5th 2024 He Released J.F.R. which explores the complexities of the current social and political climate through a mix of improvisation, poetry, and samples to craft a unique and multi-dimensional experience.


Beyond performing, Molnar is the founder and Artistic Director of the Charles River Jazz Festival and the Boston Jazz Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing Boston's jazz scene through education, scholarships, and performance opportunities. Committed to preserving jazz traditions and uplifting new generations of artists, Molnar continues to act as a cultural advocate helping shape the city's cultural landscape.


In addition to the music the gallery will be presenting the “of both and worlds in double time” exhibition. The exhibition is a conceptually provocative experiment splaying a set of conditions, a gathering of our practices, a mashup of the shiny and the abject. Plato’s Cave + Joann’s Fabrics + sci-fi. Works presented and re-presented will be inspired by biological forms (pine cones, ice caves, salt caves) as well as actual biological forms (mushrooms, SCOBYs) along with other organic and non-organic materials. In this mini heterotopia, we anticipate an alchemical transformation, an upending of the status quo, a political critique–an unraveling of logic.
