2018-19 SEASON
The Stories We Tell
The vast array of narrative forms in our social lives—epic poetry, songs, soap operas, symphonies, books, urban legends, films, and family anecdotes—reveals to us a fundamental truth about ourselves: humans are prodigious storytellers. Woven into the very fabric of our being, narrative meaningfully assembles our experiences, allows us to empathize with others, helps us make sense of our pasts, and casts vision for new possibilities. Music’s interaction with story draws listeners into an enveloping, multidimensional journey that plumbs the depths of perception, emotion, and interpretation, bringing these undercurrents into the sensory realm. We have invited each of our curators, all of whom are based in San Diego, to present their take on storytelling through music. Whether offering a fresh perspective on familiar stories or offering a post-modern exploration of storytelling itself, their creative selections invite us to reflect on the stories that we tell, and glimpse new horizons of storytelling through the immersive world of sound.
