To The World Festival - 'Morning time: Birds And Low-cal'
Classical Music, Poetry
Steven Schick has paired upward with the San Diego Symphony to curate "To The Globe," a festival featuring three performances, inspired past nature. Over the class of a calendar week, virtual performances will bring to mind how the planet engages with morning, noon and evening. The first performance is Friday at 7 p.k. "Morning: Birds and Light" centers on (apparently) birds and lite in compositions old and new, as well equally the poetry of Joy Harjo, United states of america Poet Laureate, and John Haines.
The symphony will marker the dawn with Haydn'south Symphony No. 6, and then perform French composer Olivier Messiaen's enchanting 1952 composition "Le Merle Noir" — the blackbird. They'll also feature Missy Mazzoli's "The Sound of Lite" and John Luther Adam's "songbirdsongs," which are short, percussive pieces based on the composer'due south study of birdsong.
The ever-worsening climate crisis is enough to make even the staunchest environmentalist occasionally want to cover their ears and attempt to tune it all out, but this set up of performances is a reminder to listen.
And mark your calendars, "Noon: The Rush of Water" streams Wednesday June 23 at vii p.g., and they'll shut the festival with "Evening: The Earth Rests" (including a reading of a newly commissioned poem past Gill Sotu) on Friday, June 25, also at 7 p.m.

There's no big "Bloom Bash" this yr (again), but San Diego Museum of Art will still beautify the museum (and our virtual lives) with flowers. Floral designers will construct elaborate arrangements within the museum, inspired past pieces in the collection. You tin reserve timed slots to visit.

Likewise at SDMA this weekend, I'thou specially excited for Ana de Alvear's new exhibition of hyper-realistic drawings (okay, the official genre uses the discussion "hyper" but I retrieve a better term for de Alvear's work would exist "mindblowingly"). Her new exhibition, "Everything You See Could Be A Prevarication," is the perfect chaser to all that natural, floral goodness.
