The 15th annual festival, presented over the weekend at the Athenaeum Arts & Music Library in La Jolla, celebrated new chamber works by living composers
For more than two decades, San Diego New Music has been bringing top-shelf performances of new music to our town. Their mission is simple and utopian: to present uncompromising and compelling new works by living composers are programmed in festivals that take place over the course of several days that easily rival, in their substance and performances, similar events in other, larger cities.
Friday evening’s concert at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla was typical, a carefully curated, diverse set of new chamber works presented by expert musicians in vibrant and impressive performances. The concert began and ended with larger works performed by NOISE, San Diego new Music’s resident ensemble, the members of which are veterans and virtuosi.
The cellist and composer Franklin Cox has been with San Diego New Music from the beginning. Cox’s creative work is highly diverse, and he had two very different works on Friday’s program. His “Pedagogical Etude in F-sharp Minor,” which he performed on solo cello, posits itself alongside those teaching works of Bach, Bartok, and Chopin.
