Join us for a heartwarming welcome to the Mama Village series. Each session begins with gentle seated movements designed to open up your energy and create a harmonious space. We’ll then transition into a soothing sound bowl meditation to center ourselves. The session will conclude with a circle share, allowing participants to connect and support one another through open-hearted conversation. This foundational class sets the tone for a nurturing and supportive series. Sessions will be interactive, encouraging open dialogue and the sharing of personal experiences. We believe in the power of connection, and through our sessions, we aim to foster an inclusive and non-judgmental atmosphere where all moms can feel supported and understood. In addition to the sessions, we will provide valuable resources, including handouts, recommended readings, and access to an online forum where you can continue connecting with fellow moms beyond the program's duration. We understand that motherhood is an ongoing journey, and we strive to be there for you every step of the way

San Diego New Music Concerts Jan. 5, 6 and 7, 2024 San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library present the 2024 soundON Festival, exploring cutting-edge contemporary music from around the world. This year we celebrate the music of San Diego composer and longtime friend of SDNM and NOISE Adam Greene, and we feature a new work by Mark Menzies commissioned by the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and generously underwritten by Garna Muller. Adam Greene trained as a guitarist and then studied composition at the New England Conservatory and UCSD. His music investigates multiplicity, fragility, and instability through sophisticated and idiosyncratic approaches to instrumental technique. Greek myths, especially Homer's Odyssey and the story of Orpheus, inspire many of his works, including all of his five pieces presented at soundON this year, two of which will be world premieres. This year we return to an old soundON tradition of highlighting the solo virtuosity of the members of NOISE, with challenging and adventurous works from many eras played by each of the seven musicians. And the ensemble once again introduces young and innovative composers, Jean-Patrick Besingrand, Patricia Martinez, Jérôme Combier, and Judith Ring—to San Diego. NOISE (Ensemble-in-Residence): Christopher Adler, piano Lisa Cella, flute Franklin Cox, cello Colin McAllister, classical guitar, electric guitar, and conductor Mark Menzies, violin Morris Palter, percussion Robert Zelickman, clarinet SPECIAL GUEST ARTISTS Matt Kline, conductor Eric Starr, trombone Ariana Warren, clarinet Concert and ticket links: Series tickets Day 1 (Friday, Jan. 5) - Athenaeum Art Center (Logan Heights) Day 2 (Saturday, Jan. 6) - Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (La Jolla) Day 3 (Sunday, Jan. 7) - Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (La Jolla) Related links: Athenaeum Music and Arts Library: website | Instagram | Facebook

Anat Cohen, renowned for her expressive virtuosity and infectious charisma, has been an international jazz star for two decades, with a long string of releases ranging from hard-swingers to lilting balladry, exploring a world of music along the way. The perennial winner of “Clarinetist of the Year” titles from DownBeat, Jazz Times, and the Jazz Journalists Association, Fresh Air’s Terry Gross credits Cohen with “bringing the clarinet to the world” and The New York Times hails her a “Master.” The clarinetist’s newest release is Bloom, the second album by her foursome Quartetinho (pronounced “quartet-CHIN-yo”).The band name is Portuguese for “little quartet,” although the players make a big, color-rich sound, each an ace on multiple instruments: Anat on various clarinets,Tal Mashiach on bass and guitar, Vitor Gonçalves on piano and accordion, and James Shippon on vibraphone and percussion. The members of Quartetinho have an extensive collaborative history together, as each musician is also part of the GRAMMY-nominated Anat Cohen Tentet. “There’s just four of us, but the band’s sound feels bigger, richer than that,” Anat says. “We can jump from a tango to a Brazilian song to swinging on a Monk tune to playing a Cuban 6/8. We can go to a lot of places with the repertoire, which is really satisfying—and fun.” Visit: https://theconrad.org/events/anat-cohen/ Anat Cohen on Instagram and Facebook
