In this IDEAS performance in Atkinson Hall (UC San Diego campus), Chicago-based musical Ensemble Dal Niente visits QI to premier original compositions by graduate students in the “Hearing Extremes” seminar taught by QI Research Artist in Residence and UC San Diego Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor of Music Lei Liang with geologist Emily Chin and oceanographer Joshua Jones.
“Hearing Extremes” compositions are based on ongoing collaborations with scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The pieces reflect an unusual opportunity for artists and scientists to develop interdisciplinary projects outside the walls of their respective departments, and to create works that would not be possible without a fully integrated approach that reflects the knowledge, technology and global issues of our time.
Musicians: Constance Volk (flute), Katherine Schoepflin Jimoh (clarinet), Ben Melsky (harp)
Participants: Marguerite Brown, Robert Bui, Mitchell Carlstrom, Mingyong Cheng, Andrew Crapitto, Charles Deluga, Di Fang, Yifan Guo, Sergey Kasich, Grace Talaski, Delong Wang, S Whiteley, Haihui Zhang, Han Zhang
