Face coverings are strongly recommended. We encourage you to continue wearing masks for the comfort of our audience members, artists, and staff. For more information please visit CCRMA's COVID-19 Policies and the COVID-19 safety protocols for Department of Music events.
You will hear several tunes and compositions transmediated and interwoven to form a mostly continuous concert work. All of the songs were written within the past 6 years and reflect narratives around love and heartbreak, addiction and healing, alienation and belonging, and more. The work exercises music’s affective and communicative qualities, embodying an interest in music’s cathartic potential for individuals and communities. This concert would not be possible without the contributions of these wonderful friends:
Hassan Estakhrian
Dayshon Mathis
Jenna Przybysz
Gil Bolster
Alex Han
Sami Wurm
Taylor Goss
Zoe Ryu
Matthew Gilbert
Celeste Betancur
