SUMMARY:ART EXHIBITION – Opacity – FT. Kels Watkins
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores coexistence through overlapping spaces and perspectives\, imagining a transparent world where lives intersect simultaneously\, revealing the transient rhythms that connect human experience. \nWe traverse time in the same instant – the present. It’s a shared experience\, but everyone lives and processes it in different ways. We’re living in a simultaneous world\, from a singular perspective. What if we could turn down the opacity around us and see through buildings\, witnessing the complexities of coexistence? ‘Opacity – Living in Layers’\, imagines this world\, where spaces and faces fold through one another\, celebrating the transient rhythms that connect our perspectives. \nOpening event: Wednesday 3rd June 2026\, doors open 5\,30pm\, entry is free with RSVP. \nKels Watkins is a Central Coast based artist\, working primarily in oil on canvas. Her work is characterised by layered\, surreal genre scenes\, accompanied by strong palettes.

Table seating available. \nThe 64th season kicks off with Music Director Cristian Măcelaru leading the Festival Orchestra and audience in a powerful meditation on the distance between national ideals and lived reality. \nVivian Fung‘s America the Beautiful? (Festival Commission & world premiere) opens the season with a work responding to the U.S. National Anthem through the lens of her intersectional identity as a dual Canadian-American citizen with Chinese familial lineage. The piece confronts the tension between patriotic tradition and the deeply imperfect struggle to uphold democratic values for all. \nPedro Emanuel Pereira‘s Clarinet Concerto (Festival Commission\, world premiere)\, featuring clarinetist Carlos Ferreira\, blends Portuguese musical traditions with experimental timbres and performative innovation\, reimagining virtuosity for the present moment. \nThe program concludes with Philip Glass‘s Symphony No. 15 Lincoln (West Coast premiere)—featuring GRAMMY® award winning baritone Zachary James—is a six-movement symphony incorporating Abraham Lincoln’s own words\, including the Emancipation Proclamation and reflections on law\, power\, and ambition. The work resonates forcefully with the urgencies of today.

SUMMARY:DEFIANT DREAMS – 2026 CABRILLO FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:Conducted by Cristian Măcelaru \nLeilehua Lanzilotti: of light and stone (West Coast premiere) \nJames Lee III: Shades of Unbroken Dreams (Alexandra Dariescu\, Piano) (West Coast premiere) \nSarah Hennies: The Grain House (Festival Creative Lab Commission & world premiere) \nCentering voices of resistance and cultural continuity\, this program explores the act of dreaming as a form of defiance. \nLeilehua Lanzilotti‘s of light and stone (West Coast premiere) draws on the legacy of Nā Lani ʻEhā—the “Heavenly Four” of Hawaiian royalty—to honor Indigenous Hawaiian identity\, gathering\, and the enduring power of cultural lineage. \nJames Lee III‘s Shades of Unbroken Dreams (West Coast premiere)\, featuring pianist Alexandra Dariescu\, channels the cadence and moral force of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech\, reflecting on justice\, equality\, and perseverance. \nSarah Hennies‘s Festival Creative Lab Commission (world premiere) will use the large-scale forces of the orchestra to evoke the complexities of human brain activity\, drawing on psychological and musical studies related to existence\, identity\, and memory.

SUMMARY:CONTROL - 2026 CABRILLO FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:Conducted by Cristian Măcelaru \nClarice Assad: Kontrol (Philippe Quint\, Violin) (Festival Commission & world premiere) \nJackson A. Waters: Defending Greenwood (West Coast premiere) \nHannah Ishizaki: Spin (West Coast premiere) \nDan Dediu: Concerto for Orchestra (U.S premiere) \nA genre-expanding program examining power\, agency\, and the forces that shape contemporary life. \nClarice Assad‘s Kontrol (Festival Commission\, world premiere)\, featuring violinist Philippe Quint\, is a genre-defying work for narrator\, projections\, violin\, and orchestra that interrogates the role of technology in human autonomy. \nDefending Greenwood (Movement III: June 1\, 1921) (West Coast premiere) by Jackson A. Waters—winner of the 2026 Cabrillo Emerging Black Composers Prize—bears witness to the Tulsa Race Massacre\, countering historical erasure through musical testimony and remembrance. \nMerging the Viennese waltz with electronic dance music\, Hannah Ishizaki’s Spin (West Coast premiere)\, evokes motion\, disorientation\, and suspended time. As elegant triple-meter gestures collide with pulsing\, club-like rhythms\, the piece blurs past and present\, creating a dizzying soundscape that feels both nostalgic and uncannily immediate. \nDan Dediu‘s Concerto for Orchestra (U.S. premiere) closes the program with a virtuosic and celebratory showcase of the ensemble\, dedicated to Cristian Măcelaru in recognition of their long-standing artistic collaboration.
