FRESH SOUND MUSIC SERIES AT SPACE 4 ART
Spring 2012 Season » Focus on New York
As Fresh Sound series consists of concerts that focus on a theme, the upcoming Fresh Sound music series will feature musicians from New York. Bonnie Wright, Director and Curator of Fresh Sound, recently returned from a six month sojourn in New York where she explored the city by attending 160 concerts, theater and dance events. Wright now wants to share with her fellow San Diegans some of the great music she experienced on her trip.
The first two concerts are March 6th and April 9th (see below for details). In May and June we hope to include New York musicians David Shively, percussionist; Mary Rowell, violinist and Eve Beglarian, composer, electronics; Evan Ziporyn, clarinets; and maybe Caleb Burham, violin; and Tristan Perich. - Dates to be determined, check back often.

Fresh Sound and Space 4 Art’s missions are very similar: both organizations want to bring new, experimental and exciting art to the community. Space 4 Art is a thriving volunteer-designed and built arts community, which provides affordable work/live studios for San Diego’s finest artists, designers and craftspeople. The facility spans three repurposed warehouses and contains galleries, a classroom, art-making facilities, and performance areas. Their current focus is to work with local expert curators from a variety of disciplines to present a series of high quality arts programming.

The Loft Presents the Opening of the Fresh Sound Music Series
The Loft is pleased to announce the Fresh Sound music series, curated by Bonnie Wright, will now be presented at the university’s performance lounge and restaurant beginning March 12, 2011.
Named the Best Venue in San Diego for Music Appreciation, The Loft at UC San Diego is the exciting crossroads where emerging art and pop culture collide. A place where great design, food, drinks, and performance commingle, The Loft will nourish your experience of the arts. Fresh Sound music series echoes that goal.
Each Fresh Sound series consists of four concerts that focus on a theme. The upcoming series will explore Voice and Electronics (previous series at the Sushi Performance space examined Electronics, Percussion, and Reeds).
Fresh Sound is dedicated to bringing music that is new and experimental to the San Diego and UC San Diego communities. The series will immerse you in electronic and acoustic music (often with visual components) that defies classification. From composed and improvised to acoustic and electronic to contemporary classical and techno, Fresh Sound produces music that will move you and leave you wanting more.
