The Library's Autumn Concert Series takes place on Fridays from September 6 to October 25. Each concert will begin at 1 p.m. in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On September 20, the Joshua White Trio will be performing the Music of Johnny Mercer. Joshua White is one of the music scene’s most creative and technically accomplished pianists. Praised by legendary musicians like Herbie Hancock as having “immense talent” and lauded for his “daring and courageous approach to improvisation … on the cutting edge of innovation”, Joshua has distinguished himself as a formidable leader of distinct voice among his peers. Born and raised in Southern California, Joshua received early training at the piano and developed rapidly through rigorous study of both Western European Classical literature and the Black American Music traditions. Shortly after placing in the top two as a finalist of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition, Joshua began concertizing as a soloist and musical collaborator all over the world -- and continues to maintain an active touring schedule throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. Joshua White can most often be heard with his critically-acclaimed TRIO (featuring Karl McComas-Reichl, bass & Tyler Kreutel, drums), as well as these musical ensembles: The Mark Dresser Quintet, Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Ensemble, The Daniel Rosenboom Quartet, Steph Richards & Super Sense, and LANCASTER (featuring Eric Revis, bass; Jeff Parker, guitar; & Guillermo Brown, drums). Jazz bassist Rob Thorsen maintains a diverse and busy schedule in Southern California as a performer, educator, clinician and composer. He has found his true voice in the upright bass and performs regularly as a leader with artists including the Mike Wofford/Holly Hofmann Quartet, Gilbert Castellanos, Charles McPherson, Steph Johnson and a host of others. Rob has released six recordings as a leader, “Bass is the Space - Solos and Duos” featuring an array of jazz talents including Joshua White, Steph Johnson, Gilbert Castellanos and Marshall Hawkins in duo and solo performances. His most recent release is "So In Love" — a 10-track album with his wife/lead vocalist Steph Johnson featuring songs from Cole Porter, Joni Mitchell, and others. Tyler Kreutel is a drummer/percussionist based in the Southern California area. Born and raised in San Diego, California, he took up the drums at the age of 12 in his middle school jazz band and hasn’t looked back since. Tyler graduated from The San Diego School for Creative and Performing Arts in 2012 and went on to receive his Bachelors in Music Performance at California State University Long Beach. While in college Tyler began playing professionally in both the San Diego and Los Angeles area and has been doing so ever since. Tyler has had the great fortune of playing with many outstanding musicians including Gilbert Castellanos, Charles McPherson, Henry Franklin, Joshua White, Marshall Hawkins, Steve Cotter and is one of the most in demand drummers in Southern California. He has taught at both The Orange County School of the Arts and Downey High School and is currently teaching at YLJC.

DISCO RIOT presents: S P A C E Rising Alliance Residency Showcase S P A C E Rising Showcase is the final presentation from Resident Artists Briele Melahn & Giovanna Francisco, Emily Sutherland & Jenna Wu-Cardona, and Karina Wilson & Patrick Li. Through a 10-week artist residency process in collaboration with DISCO RIOT’s community partners Malashock Dance, BalletCenter Studios, and Culture Shock San Diego, our selected Resident Artists delved into research and development of new works. Join us for the culminating event for this process, to see what their creative research and exploration has yielded. Tickets are by donation with no minimum donation amount. About the Artists and Their Works: Karina Wilson (she/her) is a San Diego-based mover with roots in LA. Trained in Balanchine and drawn to contemporary movement, she has explored her artistic style studying at Complexions Contemporary Ballet and Alonzo King LINES Ballet. Karina aspires to engage in diverse capacities, collaborating with others to play and innovate. Patrick Li envisions uniting people from diverse backgrounds through the universal language of dance. Growing up and training abroad, Patrick embraces dance as a potent art form for expressing individuality while exploring common ground. His current movement practice integrates digital innovation with movement to transcend traditional performance boundaries. Karina Wilson & Patrick Li aim to explore how individuals, partnerships, and communities navigate their diverse states of existence. Our focus is on unraveling the dynamics of personal presence, partnership interactions, and collective experience. Technology will subtly underpin these interactions, shaping our lens of interconnected human experiences. Briele Melahn is a newly relocated San Diego artist. After receiving her BFA through the Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College she has performed and presented original works in NYC. Melahn works with dance, improvisation, and collaboration to explore the intersection of original movement and intuitive humanness. Giovanna Francisco (she/her) is a San Diego-based movement artist. She graduated from UCSD with her BA in both dance and sociology with a minor in education studies. Giovanna has performed and created work in San Diego as both an independent artist and community dancer. Her movement practice centers dance as a tool for exploration and connection. Briele Melahn & Giovanna Francisco feel inclined to investigate pedestrian and performer boundaries within a live show context. We are questioning what it means to be authentic while simultaneously being on display in front of an audience. How can we merge performance and process? Jenna Wu-Cardona (they/them/she) is a queer and multiracial dancer and artist with roots in Los Angeles and San Diego. They studied education and dance at Scripps College and have since worked with Blue 13 Dance Company, DISCO RIOT’s 2024 Queer Mvmnt Fest, and Dance the Yard. Emily Jane Sutherland is a queer San Diego based artist who recently graduated from San Diego State with their Bachelors in Dance. Emily is a visual artist/ choreographer who uses various art mediums to transform spaces and elevate dance performance. Through the crossover of site-specific dance film with stagework and projection, Emily Jane Sutherland and Jenna Wu-Cardona’s piece will expand on common definitions and understandings of bodies. We question both how we can get more fully into and out of our queer, intersectional bodies in order to experience and bring about the most collective freedom. About the (R)evolution Mentorship Program The 2024 (R)evolution Mentorship Program was designed to offer San Diego-based young artists (ages 20-26) a cohort-style educational, immersive mentorship program focused on offering substantial and sustained support in transitional learning into the San Diego professional dance ecosystem. The program includes free dance classes, monthly professional development workshops and cohort meetings, check-ins with a uniquely designated DISCO RIOT mentors, opportunities to immerse in performance and event production, and a 10-week S P A C E Rising Residency as part of a culminating artistic project. Together we build critical skills for a healthy, autonomous, successful career in the field of dance. We believe the next phase of building a truly sustainable dance ecosystem in San Diego hinges on the integration of young artist voices. About DISCO RIOT: Our mission is to grow social consciousness and connection through collaborative, thought-provoking movement-based art in San Diego.
