Organized by South Bay San Diego Art & Science team Vallo Riberto and Kaz Maslanka, this symposium offers performances and discussions about the San Diego Microtonal Music Scene. The title alludes to the infinity of pitches in microtonal music coined by one of San Diego’s must celebrated microtonal composers, Harry Partch. The Bonita presentation will be a one day event from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., with an extended gallery exhibition of hand crafted instruments, pictorials and graphic illustration. The program will include a short introduction by our moderator, followed by a short, musical performance by William Wesley, a renowned composer, and instrument maker. This will be followed by a variety of informative talks by the participating musicians, interspersed with actual musical demonstrations. The final portion of the program will include an open-ended Q & A session, followed by a musical ensemble.
Featured: John Chalmers, Jonathan Glasier, Joseph Monzo, Daniel Corral, Bill Wesley
