"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.

San Diego New Music pitched the idea of a concert series devoted to modern music and 20th-century classics at the Athenaeum. The concerts of modern music perfectly complement the exhibitions of modern art held in the Athenaeum’s galleries. In 1996, San Diego New Music presented its first season. The series was called "Noise at the Library," and the ensemble would later adopt the name, as well. San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum have been happily co-presenting concerts of new music ever since. Get Tickets San Diego New Music on Instagram and Facebook
