Mike and Mrs. Ursula Fitzgerald Ann Shaw and Charles Boccodaro Contact [email protected] for more information. welcome! It is my honor to serve as President of the SLO Symphony Board of Directors for the 2020-21 season. We started this year with exciting plans for change and growth with the hiring of our new Executive Director, Anna James Miller. But, like everyone, we were soon faced with the constraints of COVID-19. Though these are difficult times, we are determined to stay focused on one of the core principles of the SLO Symphony, to “contribute to the cultural vitality of the Central Coast community”! Things may look different, and we may not be able to be together physically, but current challenges have brought out the best in our staff, musicians and volunteers. Now, more than ever, we are committed to continue the legacy of providing great music and culture for everyone. The SLO Symphony has been an integral part of this community for 60 years. The work of the Symphony has always been a collective effort, and this year is no exception. I want to thank our conductor Andrew Sewell, members of the orchestra, staff, committee volunteers and my fellow board members, especially Mark Sherman, our past board President. I would also like to thank our supporters. We could not carry out our mission if it were not for the ongoing generosity of our donors, sponsors and underwriters. I thank you for your ongoing trust and support as we navigate this season together and experience the music of the San Luis Obispo Symphony in new ways.

Allegro, ma non tanto II. Dumka: Andante con moto III. Scherzo (Furiant): molto vivace IV. Finale: Allegro. INTERMISSION Piano Quintet in F minor, Op 30. (1865) Johannes Brahms I. Allegro non troppo II. Andante, un poco adagio III. Scherzo: Allegro IV. Finale: Poco sostenuto – Allegro non troppo – Presto, non troppo Notes on the Program Unlikely Best Friends: The Music of Johannes Brahms and Antonín Dvořák Much attention is given to the relationship of Joseph Haydn and W.A. Mozart. The deep mutual respect shared by these two great composers is indicative of a meaningful relationship, particularly to Mozart, who saw “Papa Haydn” as a mentor and father figure. It is then surprising that little attention is paid to the friendship of Johannes Brahms and Antonín Dvořák a relationship that helped raise Dvořák to great fame and continually re-inspire Brahms during his most productive years. Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897) Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 30 (1865) (~43 minutes) Johannes Brahms had an impoverished upbringing in the slums of Hamburg, the son of a local musician known in town as the “beer fiddler.” Young Brahms spent much of his childhood contributing to his family’s income by playing piano in local brothels and bars with his father’s band.

  • Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture
    The Vibe of the Exiles: Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture Feature Article Graham St John Griffith University (Australia) Abstract This article offers detailed comment on thevibe of the exiles, a socio-sonic aesthetic infused with the sensibility of the exile, of compatriotism in expatriation, a characteristic of psychedelic electronica from Goatrance to psytrance and beyond (i.e. psyculture). The commentary focuses on an emancipatory artifice which sees participants in the psyculture continuum adopt the figure of the alien in transpersonal and utopian projects. Decaled with the cosmic liminality of space exploration, alien encounter and abduction repurposed from science fiction, psychedelic event-culture cultivates posthumanist pretentions resembling Afrofuturist sensibilities that are identified with, appropriated and reassembled by participants. Offering a range of examples, among them Israeli psychedelic artists bent on entering another world, the article explores the interface of psyculture and Afrofuturism. Sharing a theme central to cosmic jazz, funk, rock, dub, electro, hip-hop and techno, from the earliest productions, Israeli and otherwise, Goatrance, assumed an off-world trajectory, and a concomitant celebration of difference, a potent otherness signified by the alien encounter, where contact and abduction become driving narratives for increasingly popular social aesthetics. Exploring the different orbits from which mystics and ecstatics transmit visions of another world, the article, then, focuses on the socio- sonic aesthetics of the dance floor, that orgiastic domain in which a multitude of “freedoms” are performed, mutant utopias propagated, and alien identities danced into being. Keywords: alien-ation; psyculture; Afrofuturism; posthumanism; psytrance; exiles; aliens; vibe Graham St John is a cultural anthropologist and researcher of electronic dance music cultures and festivals.

  • Doctor of Philosophy
    RICE UNIVERSITY By tommy symmes A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE William B Parsons William B Parsons (Apr 21, 2021 11:48 PDT) William Parsons Jeffrey Kripal Jeffrey Kripal (Apr 21, 2021 13:45 CDT) Jeffrey Kripal James Faubion James Faubion (Apr 21, 2021 14:17 CDT) James Faubion HOUSTON, TEXAS April 2021 1 Abstract This dissertation studies dance music events in a field survey of writings, in field work with interviews, and in conversations between material of interest sourced from the writing and interviews. Conversations are arranged around six reading themes: events, ineffability, dancing, the materiality of sound, critique, and darkness. The field survey searches for these themes in histories, sociotheoretical studies, memoirs, musical nonfiction, and zines. The field work searches for these themes at six dance music event series in the Twin Cities: Warehouse 1, Freak Of The Week, House Proud, Techno Tuesday, Communion, and the Headspace Collective. The dissertation learns that conversations that take place at dance music events often reflect and engage with multiple of the same themes as conversations that take place in writings about dance music events. So this dissertation suggests that writings about dance music events would always do well to listen closely to what people at dance music events are already chatting about, because conversations about dance music events are also, often enough, conversations about things besides dance music events as well. 2 Acknowledgments Thanks to my dissertation committee for reading this dissertation and patiently indulging me in conversations about dance music events.

  • Concert 35/1
    Welcome Tonight Earplay is delighted to present the first concert of our 35th season in historic Herbst Theatre. Expect surprises and introspections! The program presents three Earplay-commissioned works (including two hot- off-the-presses world premieres), the winner of the 2019 Earplay Donald Aird Composers Competition, and a work by this season's luminous focus composer Kaija Saariaho. Tonight’s concert begins with two world premieres, a sparkling clarinet, violin, and viola trio by Addie Camsuzou and a hushed viola/harp duet by Bruce Bennett, followed by a reprise of Laurie San Martin's vibrant string trio commissioned and premiered by Earplay in 2017. After intermission, you will hear the Aird prize winner, Gilad Cohen's slowly unfolding duet Late Shadow, followed by an energetic quintet by Kaija Saariaho. Please join us for a pre-concert conversation with composers Bennett, Camsuzou, Cohen, and San Martin, and please linger after the concert to chat with composers, Earplayers, and Earplay board members over refreshments in the performer’s lounge. Please join us again on March 30th and May 4th at Taube Atrium Theater (4th floor of the War Memorial Building), and please bring your friends! We look forward to seeing you then for more music you won’t hear anywhere else.
