Following more than a dozen years of live musical performance across geographical distance, Widening the Embrace continues a path forward, balancing in sound as we collectively confront a morphing pandemic and undeniable climate crisis.
In scientific and political fields today, the challenges facing humanity demand unprecedented levels of global, intercultural cooperation. As artists, we aspire to work in a similar spirit, drawing on the light-speed web of fiber optic nerves spread across our planet to create a trans-locational stage and activate it with new intercultural musical expressions.
Directed by Mark Dresser and Michael Dessen, the concert features acclaimed musicians Ingrid Laubrock, Fay Victor and Patricia Brennan in New York City performing together with Dresser, Dessen, Joshua White, and Gerald Cleaver in California, with audiences at both locations.
In collaboration with a team of visual designers and technologists, each concert features an ensemble of improvisers split across our two sites and premieres new musical compositions that manifest our shared artistic affinities, in this latest collaborative effort to project our highest sonic aspirations.

Conrad Prebys Music Center
The concert hall’s interior is an asymmetrical system of triangular surfaces that fold around the room in different directions to diffuse sound evenly through the space. Built of cast-in-place concrete and aluminum/glass curtain wall, the Music Center also includes a small, flexible hall for multimedia and music theatre works, a 150-seat lecture/recital hall and rehearsal rooms for chamber, choral, orchestral and percussion music. The building features the newest technologies in student recording suites, computer music labs, practice rooms and offices. Many interior spaces have views of landscaped courtyards and outdoor areas. The Music Center will present a range of concerts from classical music to innovative new works incorporating cutting-edge technologies. It will also be an education center, as budding musicians from San Diego schools will visit to attend concerts, clinics and classes.
