'The China Shop': Conversations between artists and scientists

Thursday, May 30, 4:30 p.m., the Manetti Shrem Museum

'The China Shop' is a two-year, faculty-led initiative that brings artists to �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis to work with scientists in their labs. Playing off the idea of “a bull in a china shop,” the project facilitates two artist-scientist pairings each year, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary conversations, giving rise to imaginative possibilities, and catalyzing innovative outcomes. Each residency spans approximately 10 weeks. In addition to the laboratory exchanges, there will be a moderated public presentation and discussion, where the participating artists and scientists engage with the audience, sharing insights into their collaboration, creative exchange and work in progress.

�������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Symphony Orchestra: 'Musical Landscapes' featured Saturday

Christian Baldini, music director and conductor

Saturday, June 1, 7-8:30 p.m., Jackson Hall,  Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, tickets from $12

This concert features the Finnish cellist Anssi Karttunen, who has frequently collaborated with the �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Symphony Orchestra, in a new work by Aida Shirazi. Since receiving her doctorate in music composition from �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis in 2021, Shirazi has been gaining attention far and wide for her acoustic and electro-acoustic music, which a New York Times music critic described as “unfolding with deliberation.” In Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony the audience will enjoy the composer’s Slavonic spirit in an energetic and varied musical landscape.

Program

Jaques Ibert: Allegro scherzando from Concerto for Flute and Orchestra — with Nathan Haghgoo, winner of the �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Symphony Orchestra’s Concerto Competition;

Aida Shirazi: Meditations on Departure (PREMIERE) with Anssi Karttunen, cello

Re(Vision)offers evening of movement and dance

May 31, June 1, June 2, Main Theater, Wright Hall 218, tickets from $5

'(Re)Vision' is an invitation to dream. At this moment where ecological, political, and systemic structures are colliding with violent force, revisioning is needed and necessary. Revisioning conjures new worlds through reorientation to the spaces and relationships with which we move. Revising requires us to experiment, take risks, and confront the limits of what we have in front of our eyes. This evening of movement and performance asks audiences to remain active in the call to see, and to move toward, what can be made anew by reframing what exists around us.
