From the KPBS weekend arts preview: "Promises, Promises," part of the La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest, spotlights the work of composer and cellist Paul Wiancko. For his work "Closed Universe," Wiancko will perform on cello, along with a piano quartet (violin, viola, another cello and piano) and glockenspiel. Wiancko, who is the cellist for the world-renowned Kronos Quartet, wrote "Closed Universe" in 2016 amidst what he referred to as a "news addiction." It's a beautiful, cinematic piece, almost with the breadth and complexity of a symphonic work — save for the undeniable intimacy of the cello. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Details: 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 13.
