The “Son de San Diego” Concert Hour on Sept. 11 is at 12:30 p.m. in the Performance Lab (D-10). According to the performing arts website Son de San Diego is a quartet that performs songs in the “Son Jarocho style, a traditional musical genre from Veracruz, Mexico. Instrumentation will include Jarana, Guitarra de Son, Punteador and Tarima.”
The Concert Hour on Sept. 18 at 12:30 p.m in D-10 is called “Hear in Now.” It is a Midwestern string trio performing unique and avant-classical compositions. This group has performed and/or recorded with Anthony Braxton, George Lewis, Nicole Mitchell and Vernon Reid.
From a Midwestern trio to organist extraordinaire Michael Munson, this semester promises both divine quality and entertainment for everyone who attends, Randy Hoffman director of publicity/program coordinator for the performing arts department said. The works range from classical to pieces written by David Bowie to appeal to a wide audience.
“What I always try to do with Concert Hour is to show how big the world of music is, which is a daunting task,” Hoffman said.
The complete schedule for Concert Hour is posted on the performing arts website.
