The Qualcomm Institute | IDEAS Performance: Hearing Extremes 2024 @calit2 | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 16 hours ago
On Friday, May 24, 2024, the Qualcomm Institute’s IDEAS series presents “Hearing Extremes” with renowned composer and UC San Diego Professor of Music Lei Liang, and New York City-based new music chamber group loadbang.
“Hearing Extremes” introduces original compositions by UC San Diego graduate students in collaboration with researchers from the university’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Jacobs School of Engineering. Through the “Hearing Extremes” seminar, composers and artists work closely with geologist Emily Chin and oceanographer Joshua Jones, to develop interdisciplinary projects outside the walls of their respective departments, to think of the entire campus as a place for “great learning,” to reconsider what each participant’s role might be in regard to the collaboration, and to create works that would not be possible without a fully integrated approach that reflects the knowledge, technology and global issues of our time.
The program features premieres of works by composers Mitchell Carlstrom, Stephen de Filippo, WANG Delong, Gabriel Soberón Nelson, Haihui Zhang, and visual artist Moe Penders Ramos.
loadbang performed the students’ pieces for a live audience.
This collaboration was supported by funds generously provided by the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, Cristina Della Coletta.
