Experience an unforgettable evening with Elijah Rock as he brings his newly acclaimed album "Memories Unleashed – Impulse 1" to life on stage. Inspired by his father’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease, the album is both a celebration of timeless music and a deeply personal reflection on memory, love, and legacy. Having spent weeks in the Top 40 on the national jazz charts, "Memories Unleashed" is a soulful journey through The Great American Songbook, blending the elegance of classic jazz with intimate storytelling rooted in lived experience. Each performance invites audiences into a space where music becomes a vessel for remembrance, connection, and hope. Backed by a stunning roster of world-class musicians who have performed with legends including Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Nancy Wilson, and Natalie Cole, Memories Unleashed captures the sophistication and soul of a golden era, brought vividly into the present through arrangements critics have called “timeless, swinging, and deeply human.” Through song, Elijah Rock reminds us that while memories may fade, the feelings they carry—and the people we love—remain forever within us. Join Elijah Rock for an evening of refined swing, rich storytelling, and musical excellence that honors the past while inspiring the future. “It takes a certain kind of artist these days to carry on the torch passed on from the likes of Nat ‘King’ Cole, Freddie Cole, Billy Eckstine and Joe Williams.” — Jazz Weekly "Memories Unleashed" runs June 8 and 9, 2026 at 7:30pm at North Coast Repertory Theatre- 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solana Beach, CA 92075. Please call (858) 481-1055 or visit our website, www.northcoastrep.org, to purchase tickets. Tickets are $50. Elijah Rock on Facebook / Instagram

Semblance Project: Multiplicity/Presence is an evening of new music for soloists and electronics conceived and curated by award-winning composer Daniel (Jingyang) Cui, exploring Asian presence in contemporary classical music as an active, generative force. The program features premieres of four new works for solo or duo and electronics by Cui, each created through close collaboration with the performers and shaped by their own cultural backgrounds, personal histories, and artistic experiences. Rather than presenting a single narrative of identity, the concert foregrounds multiplicity and examines how layered identities take form through sound, gesture, and performance practice. The electronics and human machine interaction elements are designed in collaboration with Qianyi Rose Sun, whose work engages questions of technology, agency, and co creation in performance. The concert also includes excerpts from Mongolian Suite for solo cello and My Windows for solo piano by Lei Liang, a leading figure in contemporary music whose work has played a significant role in expanding how Asian histories and sonic traditions operate within global new music contexts. Together, the program brings emerging voices into dialogue with an established lineage, framing Asian presence as something that reshapes the concert space from within. The concert is free and open to the public, with a post concert reception where audience members are invited to meet the performers and composers. Date and Time: Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, 7 p.m. Location: Conrad Prebys Concert Hall, UC San Diego Admission: Free
