Translínea. Gira binacional - UC San Diego Ensamble Cepromusic José Luis Castillo, director artístico Karola Obermüller traverse Aaron Mencher FACE Alex Taylor figments Ignacio Baca Lobera De La Singularidad V The Center for Experimentation and Production of Contemporary Music (Cepromusic), the leading new music ensemble in Mexico, will make binational musical history this month by offering two concerts at the prestigious Conrad Prebys Concert Hall at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). The performances, scheduled for January 30 and 31 at 7 p.m., will mark a milestone for Cepromusic, as they kick off their first international tour since the COVID 19 pandemic. Both concerts will be free and open to the public. Under the baton of their visionary artistic director José Luis Castillo, Cepromusic is proud to present "Translínea. Binational Tour 2024" – a groundbreaking series of concerts that not only celebrates the reemergence of international music making but also marks the ensemble's debut at the renowned UC San Diego venue and their first visit to the US West Coast ever. The tour also includes concerts in the neighboring Mexican cities of Tijuana and Ensenada, yet another first for the Mexico City-based ensemble. The concerts will feature a wide array of adventurous and diverse repertoire, aiming to build a musical bridge between contemporary Mexican composition and global new music. Highlights include works by German composer Karola Obermüller (her first-ever performance on campus since she was hired as a professor at UC San Diego), and by Mexican mavericks Ignacio Baca Lobera and Iván Naranjo. More importantly, Cepromusic will perform compositions by several of the talented graduate students of UC San Diego’s Department of Music – Aaron Mencher, Akari Komura, Alex Taylor, Jiyoung Ko, and Nasim Khorassani. These emerging composers contribute to the rich tapestry of new music, offering a glimpse into the future. The concerts will also feature works by globally acclaimed composers Rebecca Saunders and Liao Lin-Ni, embodying a collaborative spirit that transcends borders. This unique blend of pieces represents a harmonious fusion of cultures, bringing together the diverse influences one can find in the works of Mexican composers, UC San Diego students, and notable figures in the world of new music more broadly. José Luis Castillo, the artistic director of Cepromusic, expressed his anticipation saying: "Performing at UC San Diego's Conrad Prebys Concert Hall for the first time is a momentous occasion for Cepromusic. We are thrilled to showcase the talent of our ensemble and the collaborative spirit that defines our musical journey." Don't miss this historic performance at UC San Diego – a celebration of cultural diversity, innovation, and the universal language of music. For more information about Translínea.

What can you say about Norah Jones? Ms. Jones is a multi-GRAMMY® winning singer and pianist who loves playing music with people, so she recently started her own podcast, "Playing Along", to do just that. On March 8th she will release her ninth solo studio album Visions, a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels. Visions is a vibrant and joyous 12-song set that finds Jones singing about feeling free, wanting to dance, making it right, and acceptance of what life brings. It’s the yang to the yin that was Pick Me Up Off The Floor, Jones’ last album of new original songs which was released early in the pandemic lockdown of 2020 and foreshadowed many of the dark emotions of that period. This is a rental event at The Rady Shell presented by Live Nation; the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this concert.
