soundON Festival of Modern Music

San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library join to present the sixth annual soundON Festival of Modern Music.

The festival is San Diego’s premiere independent exploration of the best in modern masterworks and contemporary music by living composers. Composers from around the world join with nation’s finest experts in contemporary music performance in an inviting and informal setting, allowing the audience ample opportunity to get to know the music and artists.

The public has the unique opportunity to join with the artists for the Community Workshop to gain first hand experience in the performance of experimental music.

Featured composers Evan Johnson, from Massachusetts, and Sidney Corbett, from Berlin, craft delicate webs of sounds from deeply personal explorations reaching back to Western music’s earliest incarnations in the Medeival and Renaissance. 

Internationally acclaimed bassist, improviser and composer Mark Dresser will also be at the three-day festival.

The festival is hosted by San Diego New Music’s chamber ensemble-in-residence, NOISE. Also performing will be L.A.-based The Formalist Quartet.
