"Echoes of Density" is a concert curated by flutist Teresa Díaz de Cossio, featuring performers from in^set trio and students from the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. The concert is inspired by "Density 2036", Claire Chase’s ambitious 25-year project to reimagine the solo flute repertoire through new commissions, performances, recordings, and education. In dialogue with this initiative, "Echoes of Density" centers on Marcos Balter’s "Pan" and Matana Roberts’ "Auricular Hearsay", two powerful works that expand the boundaries of contemporary chamber music. The performance features Teresa Díaz de Cossio on flute, with singers from the new music ensemble at Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, and in^set (David Aguila and Ilana Waniuk) shaping the electronics, sound design, and live visuals. Together, this international collaboration explores themes of myth, memory, and sonic storytelling, echoing the spirit of radical reinvention at the heart of Chase’s visionary project.

Leucadia-based mixed media artist Roy Jenuine hosts an exhibit – "Roy Jenuine: Modern Folk Art" – in Solana Beach, showcasing a lifetime of work from 1978 through today. Jenuine has spent his life’s work blending wood, photography and found materials to create artful masterpieces spanning functional furniture to mixed-media assemblage. Following the opening party, which is open to the public, the gallery will be open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Jenuine’s work explores materials, finishes, and craftsmanship, as well as observations about his surroundings. He finds humor in the everyday, captures nostalgia, pushes the boundaries of function and form. He aligns himself with folk art and architecture, addressing both complex modernist aesthetics and found elements from the salvage yard. Drawing from his childhood in Los Angeles, early 1970s residency at the radical architectural project "Arcosanti", and formal training at San Diego State University, Jenuine has developed a distinctive visual vocabulary that is rigorous, fun, meditative and truly original.
