VOXVOXVOX is the final installment in our monthly series of experimental concerts at Bread & Salt. Local singers Michelle Gallardo-Arias, Mariana Flores Bucio, Jonathan Nussman and Miguel Zazueta will present an evening of contemporary solo works that explore the expressive possibilities of the unaccompanied human voice. VOXOXVOX is a concert of works that zero in on the sound of the human voice and explore its boundless lyrical, expressive, instrumental and percussive qualities. Curated by Jonathan Nussman, these works free the singer from the confines of traditional accompaniment, unlocking each individual artist’s creativity by combining new and familiar sounds in surprising ways. The concert features singers from San Diego and Tijuana, including sopranos Michelle Gallardo-Arias and Mariana Flores Bucio, baritone Jonathan Nussman, and tenor Miguel Zazueta. This eclectic program includes music by Carolyn Chen, Gilda Lyons, Georges Apperghis, and a world premiere by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Roger Reynolds. In addition to the live performances, an installation by local painter Stacie Birky Greene will be on display in space. Stay Connected with Bread & Salt Art Gallery on Instagram.
