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. The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at the Conrad, 7600 Fay Ave., La Jolla. $43-$85. From the organizers: Prelude Lecture by Karen Koner 2 p.m. in The JAI Schubert’s epitaph reads “Here the art of music has entombed a rich treasure, but even fairer promise.” It is hard, however, to imagine surpassing the last year of Schubert’s life—which produced the most enduring masterpieces in music, including the epic piano trio heard on this concert. Showing tremendous promise at the very start of his composing career, the 18-year-old Dohnányi’s extraordinary first piano quintet caused Brahms to exclaim “I could not have written it better myself.” Paul Wiancko wrote “Closed Universe” as part of an attempt to find beauty and peace in the midst of a bout of news addiction.
