What can I as an individual know? What seems out of reach? In fact, how does “knowing” come about? In everyday life, one faces such questions constantly. One is perplexed by events, by the opinions of others, with deciding how to act in circumstances with immediate or more long-term implications. In contrast, other moments can feel immediately “right”. There’s no friction. Living in this world of disrupted comfort, we seek perspective.KNOWING / NOT KNOWING is an 80-minute musical work for narrator, recorded actors, live and filmed performers, projected imagery, San Diego’s SACRA/PROFANA Chorus, and 8-channel sound movement. The work’s text has nine sections spanning Infancy and Individuation through Communality and Knowledge. Its text draws from more than two dozen sources ranging from ancient Persian and Indian wisdom, through the contemporary voices of Chinua Achebe, Wallace Stevens, James Baldwin, Simone Weil, Albert Camus, Toni Morrison, Carlo Rovelli, David Brooks, Amanda Gorman and many others. Although their perspectives span time and arise from the living of contrasted lives, the composite weave feels natural: many voices speaking as one about the lives we all lead.“Trust implies a willingness to depend upon another.” … “Compassion is a miracle more astonishing than walking on water.” … “Make yourself into an agent – consistent, unified and whole.” … “Every human being is a miracle.”For more information visit: parkandmarket.ucsd.eduStay Connected on Facebook and Instagram

The San Diego Early Music Society is thrilled to present famed American soprano Amanda Forsythe and Italian ensemble Opera Prima led by Cristiano Contadin. They will explore the torments of passion in the music of Monteverdi, Rossi, Legrenzi, Cavalli, and others in an exciting San Diego debut. Opera Prima’s recording of John Dowland has been described as “wonderfully free and inventive, quirky and virtuosic… expressive throughout” (D. James Ross, Early Music Review, 2023). For her part, Forsythe is lauded as “one of the best Baroque sopranos on the scene today. Her voice is light and nimble, and her high notes spin with vibrato and subtle dynamic shading” (Aaron Keebaugh, Boston Classical Review, 2018).For more information visit: sdems.orgStay Connected on Facebook
