Rafael Payare, conductor Jeff Thayer, violin San Diego Symphony Orchestra JIMMY LÓPEZ: "Perú negro" BERG: Violin Concerto MENDELSSOHN: Symphony No. 3 in A minor, “Scottish” Three works inspired in very different ways by folk music and the mix of different cultures. "Perú Negro" (Black Peru), by San Diego Symphony’s Composer-in-Residence Jimmy López, was composed in 2012, and in the words of the composer “showcases my native country’s Afro-Peruvian heritage” while celebrating the exuberant fusion of African and Latin elements in the popular music of his native land. Alban Berg’s last completed work, his mystical Violin Concerto, was written in 1935 “to the memory of an angel”. The angel was Manon, the daughter of Alma Mahler (by her second husband) who had died a few months earlier at the age of 18. Berg includes in his concerto a beautiful folk-tune from the Southern Austrian Catholic region of Carinthia, and a haunting old German Protestant hymn-tune, which Bach had used several times. Mendelssohn’s "Scottish" Symphony, like his "Hebrides Overture," was inspired by his youthful trip to Scotland where the young Berliner was overwhelmed by the feeling of a haunting and ancient culture. In his symphony we hear echoes of Scottish traditional music for bagpipes, fiddles and harps, the skipping rhythms of Scottish folk dancing, and Romantic impressions of ruined medieval castles and monasteries.

Saturday, October 11, from 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Immerse Yourself in Japanese Culture with a Hands-On Kintsugi Experience: Join us for a captivating journey into the heart of Japanese culture with our unique Kintsugi Experience. Kintsugi, often called “golden joinery,” is more than just an art form; it’s a profound philosophy deeply rooted in Japanese culture. It treats the mending of broken pottery as an artful and spiritual practice, celebrating imperfections and the beauty of resilience. This philosophy aligns closely with the essence of Wabi-Sabi, which embraces life’s imperfections. Our Kintsugi Experience offers you the chance to not only learn about this rich cultural tradition but also to experience it firsthand. You’ll delve into the history and philosophy of Kintsugi, gaining a profound understanding of how it represents life’s journey. Then, it’s your turn to roll up your sleeves and try it for yourself, making two pieces of kintsugi to take home and enjoy. In our studio, you’ll receive all the materials needed, and our experienced instructor will guide you through the hands-on process. As you mend your own piece of pottery, you’ll discover not only the art of Kintsugi but also the art of self-acceptance and resilience. This isn’t just a class; it’s a cultural immersion and a transformative experience. By participating in our Kintsugi Experience, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and the profound wisdom that lies within this ancient art form. Ages 12+ are welcome. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
