Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is excited to unveil "Oarfish: Recent Discoveries from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Collection" — a new limited-time immersive exhibition that invites guests into the mysterious world of these legendary deep-sea animals, featuring a rare preserved Short-crested Oarfish specimen discovered on Grandview Beach near Leucadia, California last November. Observing nature, including through the behavior of animals, is a way that humans have historically sought to understand and attempt to predict the natural world. Oarfish often feature in folklore as “messengers,” warning humans of earthquakes, diseases and other phenomena. The exhibit brings together the folk history of the Short-crested Oarfish with the Marine Vertebrate Collection at Scripps, which is home to one of the largest collections of deep-sea fish in the world. Guests are invited to experience these rare fish up-close in the setting of an “underwater palace” that asks us to examine our connections to the natural world and how we navigate unpredictable events in it. “Oarfish are rarely encountered here in California, making it remarkable that we recovered, studied, and preserved two of them last year,” said Ben Frable Senior Collection Manager of Marine Vertebrates at Scripps. “Each new specimen deepens our understanding of this enigmatic fish. With their long, silver bodies and striking red fins, emerging from the vast ocean, oarfish have long fueled human imagination. I hope that seeing these specimens in person fosters a deeper appreciation for them—not as mythical creatures, but as remarkable living beings that share our world.” Oarfish and Ribbonfish Short-crested Oarfish are found in warm seas worldwide, though sighted only rarely when found near the ocean’s surface. They are scaleless and have silvery heads and bodies with distinctive red fins including a prominent crest on the top of the head—their elongated, smooth shape is why they are thought to be attributed to stories of “sea serpent” sightings. Their prey includes krill and small fishes. In addition to the Short-cested Oarfish, Oarfish: Recent Discoveries from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Collection also features a preserved ribbonfish, a King-of-the-Salmon, also from the Marine Vertebrate Collection. These fish are silvery with elongated bodies and distinctive ribbon-like dorsal fins. Like the Short-crested Oarfish, King-of-the-Salmon appear in folklore surrounding natural events, particularly the annual salmon migration that gives them their common name. Guests can experience the "Oarfish" exhibit now and through the summer. The exhibit is included with General Admission. Prices and hours vary. Advanced reservations recommended.

Kosuke Matsuda will present his solo recital on Monday, January 6th, 2025, at 5 p.m. at the Conrad Prebys Music Center Experimental Theater. This recital marks a significant milestone for Matsuda as it concludes his Doctor of Musical Arts degree and launches his 2025 season as a music performer. The concert showcases works by John Cage, Kaija Saariajo, and Hans Werner Henze, whose compositions integrate Japanese concepts of silence and sound as central musical elements. Through these pieces, Matsuda aims to explore how silence can be shaped by sound and gesture, offering a nuanced interpretation of its depth and meaning. In his doctoral research, Matsuda delved into the conceptual differences of silence in Japanese culture, analyzing its representation in literature and its influence on music. The Japanese language itself offers over seven words to express varying forms of quietness and tranquility, each with unique contextual nuances. This recital invites audiences to experience these dimensions of silence brought to life through music. This recital also serves as the beginning of Matsuda’s 2025 concert season, which will include a solo performance in Tokyo, Japan, on March 12th, 2025, and additional engagements throughout the year. Join Kosuke Matsuda on January 6th for an evening of profound musical exploration, where sound and silence intertwine to create a deeply reflective concert experience. Kosuke Matsuda, originally from Nagasaki, Japan, began his career as a percussionist, deeply inspired by the natural soundscape of his hometown. Matsuda pursued a master’s degree at Aichi University of the Fine Arts. He continued his studies in the United States, earning a second master’s degree and Artist Diploma at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami. Currently based in San Diego, he is completing his Doctor of Musical Arts degree at UC San Diego.
