San Diego New Music Concerts Jan. 5, 6 and 7, 2024 San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library present the 2024 soundON Festival, exploring cutting-edge contemporary music from around the world. This year we celebrate the music of San Diego composer and longtime friend of SDNM and NOISE Adam Greene, and we feature a new work by Mark Menzies commissioned by the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and generously underwritten by Garna Muller. Adam Greene trained as a guitarist and then studied composition at the New England Conservatory and UCSD. His music investigates multiplicity, fragility, and instability through sophisticated and idiosyncratic approaches to instrumental technique. Greek myths, especially Homer's Odyssey and the story of Orpheus, inspire many of his works, including all of his five pieces presented at soundON this year, two of which will be world premieres. This year we return to an old soundON tradition of highlighting the solo virtuosity of the members of NOISE, with challenging and adventurous works from many eras played by each of the seven musicians. And the ensemble once again introduces young and innovative composers, Jean-Patrick Besingrand, Patricia Martinez, Jérôme Combier, and Judith Ring—to San Diego. NOISE (Ensemble-in-Residence): Christopher Adler, piano Lisa Cella, flute Franklin Cox, cello Colin McAllister, classical guitar, electric guitar, and conductor Mark Menzies, violin Morris Palter, percussion Robert Zelickman, clarinet SPECIAL GUEST ARTISTS Matt Kline, conductor Eric Starr, trombone Ariana Warren, clarinet Concert and ticket links: Series tickets Day 1 (Friday, Jan. 5) - Athenaeum Art Center (Logan Heights) Day 2 (Saturday, Jan. 6) - Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (La Jolla) Day 3 (Sunday, Jan. 7) - Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (La Jolla) Related links: Athenaeum Music and Arts Library: website | Instagram | Facebook
