Rafael Payare, conductor Augustin Hadelich, violin San Diego Symphony Orchestra MENDELSSOHN: "The Hebrides (Fingal’s Cave)," Op. 26 SIBELIUS: Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 SCHUBERT: Symphony No. 9 in C Major, D 944, "The Great" From Schubert in the early 19th century to Sibelius 100 years later, the Romantic composers were fascinated by the strange and the exotic, by the unfamiliar and the otherworldly. Mendelssohn travelled to the remote Atlantic islands of Scotland, where he was inspired to write his Hebrides overture, mimicking the sound of the sea and the wailing of ancient bagpipes. In his violin concerto, Sibelius caught the incantations of Finnish folk music and the wailing of wind in the northern forests. And Schubert’s last and greatest symphony was considered so long and so strange by his contemporaries, it lay unperformed for years. Now it is one of the central works of Western classical music. As Robert Schumann wrote after its first performance: “This symphony opens an entirely new world to us, producing such an effect on us as none has produced since Beethoven”.

Berlin-based sound artist Eric Wong transforms Bread & Salt into an immersive, decentralized sonic environment using dozens of Bluetooth speakers scattered throughout the space and among the audience. Harmonic and inharmonic tones shift and interfere depending on where you stand, creating a constantly changing, interactive experience. Sharing the bill is Seattle-based composer RM Francis with a haunting “depopulated opera” built from simulated human voices—an uncanny chorus of digital timbres that blurs the line between the organic and the synthetic. Together, Wong and Francis offer a night of spatial listening and technological experimentation that invites audiences into a sonic world of exploration, meditation, and imagination. Eric Wong’s performance made possible by a grant from the Goethe Institut. Project [BLANK]: Website / Facebook / Instagram
