SUMMARY:Festival of Monsters
DESCRIPTION:Monsters lurk in our culture. They rise in times of growing prejudice\, discrimination and othering. The 2023 Festival of Monsters (Oct. 13-15) — hosted by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Monster Studies — explores the ways monsters and tropes of monstrosity both preserve and conflict with forms of social and cultural injustice. \nHeld in two locations in beautiful Santa Cruz\, Calif\, the 2023 Festival includes an academic conference\, plus performances\, readings\, presentations from monster-makers\, and an exhibit at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH) entitled Werewolf Hunters\, Jungle Queens\, and Space Commandos: The Lost Worlds of Women Comics Artists. \nAuthors Mallory O’Meara (The Lady from the Black Lagoon) and Jess Zimmerman (Women and Other Monsters) will give the keynote talks. Author Addie Tsai (Unwieldy Creatures) will read and discuss her book\, which is a queer\, nonbinary\, biracial retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. \nThe full schedule of activities\, event information\, and registration can be found at: https://www.monsterstudies.ucsc.edu/2023festival \nSponsors include the Arts Research Institute of UC Santa Cruz\, UC Santa Cruz Arts Division\, The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, Porter College\, the UC Santa Cruz Foundation Board and private donors.

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.
