WELCOME TO THE 2015–2016 ARTPOWER SEASON I spent my first season at ArtPower in the audience with all of you; listening to the way you responded to our artists, and watching what piqued your interest, sparked your passion, and stimulated your curiosity. In choosing our 2015– 2016 artists we embraced that feedback—highlighting the most interesting artistic trends in the world while honoring what is best about ArtPower’s history. We are committed to presenting important artists who not only enrich the cultural landscape of our city, but also inspire UC San Diego students to realize their own limitless creative potential.

This season is loaded with many exciting programs that I cannot wait to experience with you! Our Global Music series focuses on powerful and inspiring women’s voices. Our Innovation series is filled with projects I have admired for years, especially Bang on a Can All-Stars performing Brian Eno’s Music for Airports. It will make its U.S. premiere in the environment for which the work was created: San Diego International Airport. Our Jazz series is bursting with young leaders that are making waves in the art form. The Chamber Music series welcomes back old favorites while introducing compelling new ensembles. Our Foovies series pays homage to cultural heritage months and the Filmatic Festival will return with events that explore the next generation of digital storytelling. Finally, our Dance series is entirely devoted to groundbreaking international choreographers all making their San Diego debut.

I would like to thank the ArtPower staff, volunteers, donors, and everyone in the UC San Diego community for welcoming me and for their support in making this season possible.

See you in the theater, Jordan Peimer Executive Director, ArtPower at UC San Diego

— A NOTE FROM THE CHANCELLOR — At UC San Diego, we are focused on developing well-rounded students, and the arts play a vital role in our education. The arts help us to think in new ways, communicate our thoughts and solve problems creatively, and they inspire a level of creativity within impassioned minds that can be applied to all areas of study. Through lively and thought-provoking concerts, performances, film screenings, and student and community engagement activities, ArtPower sparks imaginations and opens avenues of discovery. Thank you for supporting ArtPower and our extraordinary campus.

The parents and two teenagers are going to such lengths to hide secrets from each other that they are completely oblivious to the drama in the others lives. Emerging Mexican filmmaker Gil Gonzalez has crafted a comedy that packs a lot of punch through subtly drawn family dynamics reflecting contemporary middle class society worldwide.

The Nearness of You: HURTLING / THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAR (AND OTHER SAFE PLACES)

GREG WOHEAD

Friday–Sunday, October 9–11, 2015 / Hurtling: 11:30am – 6pm; THE Backseat of My Car (and other safe places): 7:30–10pm Fallen Star, Stuart Collection / Parking Lot 407 Hurtling and The Backseat of My Car (and other safe places) together form The Nearness of You, a pair of performances by artist Greg Wohead dealing with ideas of closeness (physically and temporally), the sensation of driving, autobiography, and the experience of time.

Hurtling is an invitation to remember a previous version of yourself, to imagine a future version, and to wonder who that makes you now. An outdoor performance for one with a cassette player and headphones that’s remade for each location in which it’s performed, its a glimpse of a fleeting moment as it zooms past. The Backseat of My Car (and other safe places) is an interactive true storytelling piece for one audience member at a time that takes place somewhere off by ourselves. It’s about being a teenager and those moments when you’re on the verge of something exciting.

Presented as part of the 2015 La Jolla Playhouse Without Walls Festival.

A classically trained musical genius, chart-topping chanteuse, and Black Power icon, Nina Simone is one of the most influential, beloved, provocative, and least understood artists of our time. On stage, she was known for utterly free, rapturous performances, earning her the epithet “High Priestess of Soul.” But amid the violent, day-to-day fight for civil rights, she struggled to reconcile artistic ambition with her fierce devotion to a movement. Director Liz Garbus sensitively explores

The quartet also has received top prizes at the Paolo Borciani Competition, the International Chamber Music Competition in Weiden, and the Max Reger International Chamber Music Competition. Formed by four of Europe’s most celebrated young string players in 2007, the Meccore performs extensively throughout the continent. Since 2009 the Meccore has worked closely with the Artemis Quartet at the Berlin University of the Arts. As postgraduates at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, the quartet worked with Alfred Brendel on the interpretation of Beethoven’s music. Brendel raved, “the Meccore String Quartet has impressed me as an outstanding young ensemble.” ArtPower is thrilled to welcome the quartet back in what is certain to be a brilliant performance!

audiences, performing as a soloist on piano with virtually all of the major American orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, National Symphony, and San Francisco Symphony. Living by the Duke Ellington adage, “There are only two kinds of music, good music and bad,” O’Riley—a proponent of the former in all of its guises—has received the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and an equally coveted four-star review from Rolling Stone magazine. He will be joined by the New York Chamber Soloists; acclaimed as an outstanding ensemble of distinguished virtuosi, they have maintained a unique niche in the chamber music world for over five decades.

ESTER RADA Wednesday, April 27, 2016 / 8pm Price Center East Ballroom

Ester Rada is a stimulating young singer and songwriter with a unique cross-cultural approach that reflects her Ethiopian heritage and Israeli upbringing, while embracing the influence of American soul icons like Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin. Combining R&B, Ethio-Jazz, reggae, and classic funk, Rada’s music is a truly global stew that has earned her critical raves and performances around the world, including an opening tour slot for R&B queen Alicia Keys, who has become one of Rada’s most outspoken champions.

Her debut EP, Life Happens, was produced by Israeli tastemakers Sabbo and Kuti, and is a triumphant document of the joy and escape through music that led Rada to transcend her early life in Tel Aviv. For her San Diego debut, Rada will perform music from Life Happens and Ester Rada, her brand new full-length release, weaving a spell of multi-cultural grooves wrapped in sweet soul.

They strive to help open up the potential of Ukrainian melodies and to bring it to the hearts and consciousness of the younger generation in Ukraine and the rest of the world as well. Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian, and Australian traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.

independent choreographer. His new creation is an autobiographical fantasy that returns to Cohen’s early years growing up in the ’80s. Drawing upon punk and pop culture, Gender Bender incorporates images that reflect personal and social identities of masculinity, femininity and all that lies between. The piece takes ’80s gender-inspired images on a journey throughout the past and the present and creates a cultural cobweb of music, imagery, dance, and aspires to be a reflection of the influences and forces projected on us by the past and present culture, as well as our social environment.
