Art of Elan's popular downtown series returns, with a special show that fuses electronic and classical music elements in partnership with the David's Harp Foundation, an innovative mentorship organization that serves homeless and foster teens, as well as those affected by the Juvenile Justice system, in its Sony-sponsored studio facility in San Diego's downtown East Village neighborhood.
Art of Elan's musical program features works that have electronic or electro-acoustic elements, written by today's hottest young composers Andy Akiho, Missy Mazzoli, Eve Beglarian, Javier Temazcal and San Diego native Diego Rodriguez. Both the Akiho and Mazzoli will be receiving their San Diego premieres as a result of this special collaborative show featuring members of the San Diego Symphony and the Hausmann Quartet.
Art of Élan first launched this downtown series in 2011 as a "crossfire" of musical ideas set in the urban ambiance of the former Glashaus, an artist collective studio and gallery in Barrio Logan that housed the sculptural creations of Matt Devine and fellow artists. The series has since evolved to include shows at Bread & Salt and the downtown Luce Loft, as well as this inaugural performance at the Moniker Warehouse.
