Jason Seber, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra Prepare to be transported by "Flow in Concert," an extraordinary live experience pairing the breathtaking animated film "Flow" with a full symphonic performance of its original score. This award-winning film, directed by Latvian visionary Gints Zilbalodis and scored by acclaimed composer Rihards Zalupe, comes alive in a powerful fusion of cinema and live music. Following its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival and a historic win for Best Animated Feature at the 97th Academy Awards, "Flow" has captivated audiences worldwide with its poetic, dialogue-free storytelling and singular visual style. Now, in Flow in Concert, audiences can immerse themselves in the emotional depth of the film enhanced by the immediacy and grandeur of live orchestration. The story follows a solitary cat navigating a post-apocalyptic world submerged in water. As it encounters other animals and the remains of a lost civilization, the film explores themes of loneliness, resilience and connection – with a uniquely meditative pace and stunning artistic detail. The concert features a live performance of Rihards Zalupe’s haunting, atmospheric score, performed in perfect sync with the film by the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. The experience offers a rare opportunity to witness the marriage of visual storytelling and live symphonic sound at the highest level. "Flow in Concert" is presented in Partnership with San Diego Humane Society. San Diego Symphony on Facebook / Instagram

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
