SUMMARY:The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music
DESCRIPTION:The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music\, even at a seasoned 60 years old\, is all about the new—the here and now of contemporary works for orchestra. To quote Financial Times music critic Allan Ulrich\, “…in the surf mecca of Santa Cruz\, 75 miles south of San Francisco\, the Cabrillo Festival has made the contemporary repertoire sound urgent\, indispensable and even sexy.” \nThe 2023 season runs from July 30-August 13. Please visit https://cabrillomusic.org/ for more info. \nIn late July and early August each year\, audiences are joined by both preeminent and emerging composers\, spectacular guest artists\, and an orchestra of dedicated professional musicians from across the globe to give voice to works which are rarely more than a year or two old\, and sometimes still wet on the page. The opportunity for composers to work with musicians skilled and enthusiastic about bringing these new works to life\, in the beautiful\, coastal college-town of Santa Cruz\, California\, makes this an artistic paradise. With a professional training workshop for early career conductors and composers\, open rehearsals almost daily\, educational programming\, and much more\, the Cabrillo Festival has dozens of opportunities for meaningful engagement. \nIn 2017 the Festival embarked on a new era of artistic leadership with the appointment of Music Director and Conductor Cristian Macelaru. Past music directors include Marin Alsop (1992-2016\, now Music Director Laureate)\, John Adams (1991)\, Dennis Russel Davies (1974-1990)\, Aaron Copland (1978)\, Carlos Chavez (1970-1973)\, Gerhard Samuel (1963-1968). More information on the Festival’s history can be found here. \nThe 2023 Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music is co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Slugs and Steins with Professor Eric Porter: What Can We Learn from the Airport?
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, airports may seem like alienating “nonplaces”—as anthropologist Marc Augé put it—where we rush to make connections and spend long\, monotonous hours waiting for delayed flights. But airports are fascinating sites that can tell us a lot about the places where they are situated. Among other things\, they are complex infrastructures where people\, the built and natural environments\, and different kinds of networks come together. Airports are also sites of accumulated power in a given region. Looking at the history of an airport\, then\, can provide a airport useful lens for examining some of the complex\, interconnected forces that have influenced the development of its region over time. Exploring that history can also help us understand how differently positioned people in that place have abided\, resisted\, and otherwise negotiated the powerful forces that have shaped their lives. In this talk\, Eric Porter will discuss San Francisco International Airport (SFO) as a site whose history reveals important perspectives on a wide range of phenomena that have helped to make the Bay Area. Along the way he will read excerpts from his new book\, A People’s History of SFO: The Making of the Bay Area and an Airport. \n \nOrder A People’s History of SFO: The Making of the Bay Area and an Airport online and save 30%. Use source code SAVE30 at checkout. \nEric Porter is Professor of History\, History of Consciousness\, and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, where he is also affiliated with the Music and Latin American and Latina/o Studies departments. His research and teaching interests include Black cultural and intellectual history\, US cultural and urban history\, and jazz and improvisation studies. \nSlugs and Steins are free informal lectures served up over Zoom. Brought to you by the UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association\, each talk will engage one of our favorite professors in discussion with you\, the local community of Silicon Valley\, and beyond. We will cover everything from organic artichokes to endangered zebras\, self-driving cars to Shakespeare. All are welcome. Audience participation is encouraged. \nQuestions?
