moses was a Hawaiian artist known for the intricate hats he'd sculpt out of everyday brown paper bags. In a new exhibition at the Mingei, "Fold, Twist, Tie," a collection of his 1980s paper bag hats will be on view alongside his photography of beachgoers wearing his sculptures. The exhibition is intended to bring the process to life, and I especially love the juxtaposition of a hat as an art object against a photo of it being worn. There's no doubt the wearer marveled or respected the work, but it feels deliciously far removed from a modern "don't touch the artwork" sensibility. One of my favorites is the towering "Sun Bishop" hat, constructed of repeated tube-like lengths of rolled paper bag strips, sitting high on the head like a bishop (fun fact: a bishop's hat is called a "mitre"). It's not the most elaborate of the designs in the exhibition, but that's part of its charm. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS (from "5 works of art to see in San Diego in April") From the museum: This exhibition at Mingei International Museum features whimsical and sculptural paper hats made by self-taught artist, moses. Self-taught artist moses is best known for his whimsical and sculptural paper bag hats. Each piece mimics materials ranging from leather to bamboo and challenges conventional ideas with extraordinary and elaborate design. FOLD, TWIST, TIE explores the process behind the making of his hats, pairing them with recently restored photos of his creations, often worn by enthusiastic participants. The hats were given grand titles by the artist, such as Sun Queen and Thelonious. The utilitarian paper bag, usually used to hold groceries or lunch, is transformed in this exhibition. Viewers will delight in the creative designs of moses and are sure to leave the show rethinking this simple material. Related links: The Mingei on Instagram The Mingei on Facebook

The complex textures and rich harmonies characteristic of Richard Wagner’s compositions had a magnetic force on the composers featured on this afternoon’s program. From Strauss’ lusciously scored and radiantly colorful Sextet from his opera "Capriccio" and a string version of Berg’s intense "Piano Sonata" to arrangements and works in honor of Wagner by his own father-in-law, Franz Liszt, this program is a testament to the dominant force of this Romantic master. The program ends with the rarely heard, lushly exuberant "Sextet" by Hungarian composer Ernst Von Dohnányi for strings, clarinet, and horn. This event is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, with a prelude performance by the Pelia Quartet at 2 p.m. Date | Sunday, August 14 at 3 p.m. Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center Get tickets here!

Stirred by the sublime lyricism and expressive richness of the Romantic era, the composers on this evening’s program display passionate intensity and striking emotional honesty. We begin with Schubert’s "Quartettsatz," one of the pieces that helped pave the road to the Romantic era, followed by the première of Marc-André Hamelin’s lush "Piano Quintet," heard in its recently completed version for the first time, and we end with Dvořák’s "Piano Trio in F Minor," perhaps the composer’s most romantic outpouring and one that owes much to his mentor, Johannes Brahms. This show is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, and features a prelude lecture by Alex Ross at 6:30 p.m. at The JAI.
