In partnership with UC San Diego Professor Steven Schick and Red Fish Blue Fish, the percussion ensemble presents the West Coast premiere of Douglas J. Cuomo’s "THE JUMP UP!", a site-specific piece directed by Mark DeChiazza, shaped to accommodate the specific topography and features of its location. All the musicians will move through the space during the piece, first offering the audience a wide panoramic perspective that gradually gathers towards the audience as the performance goes on. At the finale, the players merge into the audience, who will be invited to join into the musical fabric by clapping or vocalizing (as instructed on the fly by Sandbox Percussion) to form a single communal orchestra. Described as “exhilarating” by the New York Times, the Grammy-nominated ensemble Sandbox Percussion champions living composers through its unwavering dedication to contemporary chamber music. Composer Douglas J. Cuomo has composed for the concert, operatic and theatrical stage, a well as for television and film, including the themes for "Sex and The City" (HBO); "NOW" with Bill Moyers and Wide Angle (PBS); music for "Homicide: Life On The Street" (NBC). Presented as part of La Jolla Playhouse’s WOW Festival. Visit: 'The Jump Up' ArtPower at UC San Diego on Instagram and Facebook

LOS/NR cordially invites you to our next Opening Reception for "Framing Identity" highlighting the interplay between the intimate and the universal exploration of what defines us through the vision of four women artists—collaborative artists Katie Hargrave and Meredith Laura Lynn, photographer Hannah Altman and painter Jennifer Ruth Evans. The question of where self comes from has intrigued us for generations and theories have been established from Jung’s archetypes to Freud’s id, ego and superego to explain who we are and how self develops. The artists in this exhibition use the visual medium to explore personal, cultural and societal constructs of self. Their work unfolds as storytelling that investigates identity to spark a dialogue and foster deeper understanding of ourselves and our meaning. This is our Guest Curator Show running from March 8 to April 12, 2025, organized by Caleb Cain Marcus (MFA Columbia University.) Marcus has judged and participated as a reviewer for the Arnold New Prize, Critical Mass, Medium, LACP, NEPR and Review Santa Fe. He exhibited at the Ross Museum, the National Academy of Sciences in DC, Telluride Gallery of Fine Art, the Houston Center for Photography, Tufts Art Gallery, and Palm Beach Photo Center. His work is the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty Museum, the High Museum of Art, Norton Museum of Art, and Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and has been published widely including PDN, American Photo, Conde Nast Traveler, National Geographic, Orion and Audubon, Feature Shoot, Musee, Fraction, F-stop, Slate, Lens Culture, Smithsonian, My Modern Met and Hyperallergic. He is the author of "A Portrait of Ice" (2012), "A brief movement after death" (2018) and "Iterations" (2019). The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday Noon pm to 4 p.m.

Link to Website: https://newvillagearts.org/la-havana-madrid/ New Village Arts invites audiences to step back in time to the 1960s as the Ray Charles Stage is transformed into "La Havana Madrid," the legendary Chicago nightclub where newly arrived Latinx immigrants found solace, community, and the rhythms of home. Inspired by real stories, Sandra Delgado’s "La Havana Madrid" brings to life the experiences of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Colombian newcomers navigating their place in a rapidly changing city. Against the backdrop of mambo and salsa, they discover love, resilience, and the power of music to create belonging. By the end of the night, audiences will find it impossible to stay in their seats—so we encourage you to bring your dancing shoes and prepare to be swept away by the soul-stirring Latiné beat! Join us after select performances of "La Havana Madrid" for our Social Dance Club after-party, in collaboration with Salsa-Bachata y Vino! Performance Schedule as follows: Select Wednesdays at 2 p.m. Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Fridays at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays at 2 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m. New Village Arts on Instagram

Join us for a special concert celebrating the release of Clinton Davis’ second full-length album, “Ever Returning.” Clinton Davis is an old time folk multi-instrumentalist currently based in San Diego. A fifth-generation Kentuckian, Davis grew up in rural Carroll County. His guitar work has earned the praise of Stefan Grossman, who called him “a master…carrying on the traditional music torch of Mike Seeger.” Deering Banjos has called his playing on their instruments “simply sublime.” Joined by fellow multi-instrumentalist Tim McNalley and Ryan Finch, the Clinton Davis Stringband bring a high level of musicianship and artistry to their performances that have made them a perennial favorite on the West Coast. Together, they explore America’s musical past with interpretations that are novel but faithful to tradition. Their sets always bring unexpected arrangements of rarely-heard old tunes that blur the lines between “old time” “bluegrass” and “ragtime.” Clinton Davis on Instagram / Youtube Verbatim Banks on Facebook / Instagram
