SUMMARY:soundON Festival
DESCRIPTION:The annual soundON Festival returns! Presented by San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library\, this year’s lineup showcases cutting-edge contemporary music by a global roster of composers\, along with music by friends of the festival\, such as Juan Campoverde Q. \n\n\n\nAuthors like Roberto Calasso\, J.R.R. Tolkien\, and Robert Graves impress upon us the vitality of a grammar of mythologies\, not just as fantasy\, but as a way of contemplating our own nature\, identity\, and destiny. Sometimes we create our own myths—stories in our consciousness that stand the test of time—that inform our beliefs\, attitudes\, and values. The territory spanned by the corridor of our existence may be bordered by history on one side and myth on the other. Through three nights of captivating music\, the 18th edition of the soundON Festival will travel this enigmatic terrain. \n\n\n\nJOAN & IRWIN JACOBS MUSIC ROOMAthenaeum Music & Arts Library1008 Wall StreetLa Jolla\, CA 92037
