Ryli’s melodic, guitar-led sound will share Gallery 3 with GaHee Park’s introspective paintings, making this a performance staged within an exhibition rather than a concert in YBCA’s theater. The band plays at 7 p.m. Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The performance is free with RSVP; YBCA recommends reserving because seating is limited.
Park’s paintings make the setting part of the program
GaHee Park: Behind the Curtain is on view at YBCA from August 7, 2026, through January 3, 2027. Curated by Dorothy Dávila, it is Park’s first solo institutional exhibition in the United States.
The paintings move among private domestic moments, uncanny still lifes and seaside scenes, with fantasy, sexuality and mortality among their themes. Insects, snails and sardines appear in the same visual world as women gazing into cocktail glasses. YBCA describes Ryli’s melodic but melancholy music as a counterpoint to the exhibition’s introspective mood—a pairing that gives the gallery setting a role beyond simply housing the performance.

A four-piece with Bay Area indie connections
Ryli brings together vocalist Yea-Ming Chen, associated with Yea-Ming and The Rumours, and guitarist Rob Good of The Goods, with Luke Robbins of R.E. Seraphin and Ian McBrayer, formerly of Healing Potpourri. YBCA’s artist biography describes a sound built around Chen’s vocals, Good’s bright guitar work and a propulsive rhythm section, with a post-punk edge.
The band’s debut album is Come and Get Me. YBCA’s biography also places Ryli’s melodic approach in the company of Camera Obscura, The Smiths and Mazzy Star. No set list or performance length is published, so those references offer a guide to the group’s musical territory, not a promise about which songs will be played.

Earlier Wednesday programs are separate bookings
For visitors making a longer afternoon of YBCA, the November 4 calendar also lists two earlier, separately registered programs: a free clay-tile workshop from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Grand Lobby, where participants learn to carve marks and textures, and a free gallery tour and sketching activity from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Galleries 1 and 2, focused on Dread Scott and Rael San Fratello. Neither is part of the Ryli RSVP.
The Ryli listing also points visitors to the Creativity Explored residency on the first floor for hands-on artmaking. It does not give that activity a time or explain whether separate registration is needed, so treat it as an additional possibility rather than a timed session.
