San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library present the return of the soundON Festival (formerly known as the soundON Festival of Modern Music), featuring our ensemble-in-residence, NOISE, coming together once again after the long hiatus of the pandemic.

The members of NOISE have curated a festival exploring the surreality of the gradual return to 'normalcy' and the irreversible perspective of a world transformed and that will never be 'normal' again.

The eclectic and international collection of works embrace imperfection, liminality, chimeric adaptations, tension, and the cautious return to the illuminated beauty of the world welcoming us back.

Dates: Jan 6-8

Location: Athenaeum Music and Arts Library
Cost: Festival passes: $75 General Admission / $60 Athenaeum Members / $25 Students

The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, located in the heart of La Jolla, Calif., in San Diego County, is one of only 16 nonprofit membership libraries in the United States. This rare cultural institution, an important one to the greater San Diego area, offers a depth and accessibility of resources and programs found nowhere else in the region. The library, devoted exclusively to music and art, has an outstanding and ever-expanding collection of books, periodicals, reference material, compact discs, videocassettes, DVDs, sheet music and librettos, as well as one of the most significant collections of artists' books in Southern California. The library is open to the public five days a week and members can check out materials for a modest annual fee. The Athenaeum also presents an eclectic, year-round schedule of art exhibitions, concerts (classical, jazz and new music), lectures, studio art classes through its School of the Arts, tours and special events. To quote the San Diego Union-Tribune, "There are few libraries in America as unusual as the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library." Admission: Admission to the library is free. Gallery exhibits are free and open to the general public. Materials may be used in the library or checked out by members. Borrowing privileges are limited to members only. Books may be checked out for four weeks and all CDs, videos and DVDs for two weeks. Materials may be reserved in advance.
