Saxophonist and UC San Diego Professor of Music David Borgo to perform his new album "The Suite of Uncommon Sorrows" on Wednesday, October 6 at 7 p.m. The concert will be livestreamed from the Conrad Prebys Music Center Experimental Theater. Watch livestream: http://music.ucsd.edu/live "The Suite of Uncommon Sorrows" is an eleven-part suite of original music composed in response to the tumultuous events of 2020, including the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, the growing Black Lives Matter movement, and the debilitating polarization of U.S. politics that made it impossible to address either of these adequately. Each movement explores a different “uncommon sorrow,” such as kuebiko (a state of moral exhaustion inspired by acts of horror in the news, which forces you to revise your image of what can happen in this world), kenopsia (the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet), chrysalism (an amniotic-like tranquility while a storm rages outside), zenosyne (the sense that time keeps going faster), and pâro (the feeling that no matter what you do it will always be inadequate). PERFORMERS: David Borgo - tenor and soprano saxophones, aerophone Tobin Chodos - piano and keyboard Mackenzie Leighton - acoustic and electric bass Mark Ferber - drum set with special guest: Peter Sprague - electric guitar PROGRAM: Kuebiko a state of moral exhaustion inspired by acts of horror in the news, which forces you to revise your image of what can happen in this world Chrysalism an amniotic-like tranquility, similar to how one feels while wrapped in a blanket sitting inside on the couch while a storm rages outside. Kenopsia the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet Paro the feeling that no matter what you do it will always be inadequate The Village Covidiots an inversion of Eric Dolphy’s “Out To Lunch,” dedicated to you know who. Occhiolism the awareness of the limitations of your own perspective One Step Forward Two Steps Back the feeling that although progress is being made, it produces a reaction that is somehow greater than equal and opposite Zenosyne the sense that time keeps going faster Gugulethu a township outside of Cape Town, South Africa, its name is a contraction of igugu lethu, which is Xhosa for “our pride” (for Winston Mankunku Ngozi) View this event on Facebook

North Coast Repertory Theatre presents Richard Dreyfuss in a benefit reading of "The Soap Myth" More than a half-century after WW II, a young investigative reporter finds herself caught between numerous versions of the same story as she befriends a Holocaust survivor (Richard Dreyfuss) on a crusade about the atrocity of ‘soap’ – did the Nazis make soap from the corpses of murdered Jews? Played out against the backdrop of deadline reporting and journalistic integrity, the critically acclaimed "The Soap Myth" by Jeff Cohen questions who has the right to write history—those people who have lived it and remember it, those who study and protect it, or those who would seek to distort its very existence? And finally, what is our responsibility once we know the truth? This is theatre of witness at its best – provocative and haunting. "The Soap Myth" will play January 24 and 25, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. at North Coast Repertory Theatre. 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solona Beach, CA 92075. To purchase tickets call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org There will be a talkback after each performance. The talkback on Monday, January 24 is with one of the leading experts in the world on the Holocaust, Dr. Michael Berenbaum, moderated by Richard Salomon, Co-Founder and longstanding Board member of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, the 2017 National Museum of the Year.
