In a highly anticipated return to San Diego, Le Poème Harmonique, led by Vincent Dumestre with mezzo-soprano Eva Zaïcik, will open the San Diego Early Music Society's 2023-2024 season with a lush program of music that would have been heard in the court of young Louis XIV before Versailles. The ensemble will perform popular songs drawn from the group’s award-winning collections of traditional French chansons, as well as music by Moulinié, de Lalande, and Charpentier, and excerpts from the first operas by Lully and Cavalli performed in France—the repertoire that has earned the ensemble countless accolades. Releasing more than twenty albums since 2018, the prolific ensemble has been described as “tremendously skilled and fetchingly entertaining” (Jon Sobel, Blogcritics, 2016), while Eva Zaïcik has been praised for her “clear mezzo-soprano voice…tonal purity, tightly controlled vibrato and fluent virtuosity” (Nicholas Anderson, Classical Music, 2022).

The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and Murals of La Jolla present Michael Mercil as he gives attendees an inside look on his career, process, recent projects, and 2023 mural ART IS GOOD FOR YOU, commissioned by Murals of La Jolla. The Ohio-based artist explores the realms of “the near, the low, the common” and incorporates an expansive number of mediums (drawing, painting, needlepoint, sculpture, landscape architecture, film, performance, teaching, and farming) in his art. Painted directly on-site, with a complementary color palette that pops, the text becomes a lively imperative to embrace art as a crucial and ubiquitous aspect of daily life. Mercil received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and an MFA from the University of Chicago. His work has been featured in many prominent institutions, including The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia; the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts; The Living Culture Initiative in collaboration with Ann Hamilton at OSU; The Beanfield, The Virtual Pasture, and Site set-aside projects at Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus; and the Art Market™, an ongoing, Columbus-based studio project. Mercil’s talk begins at 6:30 p.m. and is preceded by at reception at 6 p.m. Stay Updated with Athenaeum Music & Arts Library! Facebook | Instagram | X
