In the arts this weekend: a new exhibition at ICA Central, free concerts from the San Diego Symphony, City Ballet at Balboa Theatre, Sacra/Profana sings in Fallbrook, visual art faculty group show and New Village Arts' "Into the Woods."

From San Diego Weekend Arts Events (KPBS feature): The San Diego Symphony welcomes back their guest conductor, Edo de Waart to lead two performances of works by two great Russian Romantic composers, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, plus contemporary British composer Anna Clyne's 2016 work "Abstractions." Clyne's piece was inspired by five works of contemporary art, with each of the five movements corresponding to a work of art from the private collection of Robert E. Meyerhoff and Rheda Becker. The artworks are Sara VanDerBeek‘s "Marble Moon" (2015), Julie Mehretu’s "Auguries" (2010), Hiroshi Sugimoto’s "Caribbean Sea, Jamaica" (1980), Ellsworth Kelly’s " River II" (2005) and Brice Marden’s "3" (1987-88). The composition is enchanting and mysterious, and is propulsive — even in the moody quiet of the first movement. The piece overall pairs well with Rachmaninoff's "Symphonic Dances," which the orchestra will also perform, plus Tchaikovsky's "Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor." Details: Two performances, Saturday, Nov. 13 and Sunday, Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. The Rady Shell at Jacob's Park, 222 Marina Park Way, downtown. $25-108. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the Symphony: Edo de Waart, conductor Simon Trpčeski, piano San Diego Symphony Orchestra PROGRAM: ANNA CLYNE: Abstractions TCHAIKOVSKY: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 RACHMANINOFF: Symphonic Dances, Op. 45 A night to celebrate a pair of Russian Romantics!
