Aperture Duo – Sonic Chapel Concert Series

Aperture Duo – Sonic Chapel Concert Series

Aperture Duo curates fearless programs that explore new sounds, voices, and techniques through the lens of violin and viola chamber music. Lauded for their “precision and interpretation” along with their “distinct sense of unity and independence” (icareifyoulisten.com), Los Angeles-based Aperture Duo was founded in 2015 by violinist Adrianne Pope and violist Linnea Powell. Equally at home performing old and new music, Aperture Duo actively commissions diverse new works to expand the violin and viola duo repertoire.

Program:

whisper / sing / speak

A theatrical chamber music concert featuring performance art, improvisation, and virtuosic playing while singing. The program includes four Aperture Duo commissions with two world premieres by emerging US and Mexican composers. Works by Alex Temple, Erin Rogers, Nicholas Deyoe, Noah Meites, Andrew Tholl, and George Aperghis.

Carlsbad Music Festival presents the Sonic Chapel concert series featuring Aperture Duo on March 8, 2019. Concerts take place in St. Michael’s intimate wooden chapel and tickets are $15, $25, and $35, depending on seating location.

Ashley Bathgate – Sonic Chapel Concert Series

American cellist Ashley Bathgate has been described as an “eloquent new music interpreter” (New York Times) and “a glorious cellist” (Washington Post) who combines “bittersweet lyricism along with ferocious chops” (New York Magazine). Her “impish ferocity,” “rich tone,” and “imaginative phrasing” (New York Times) have made her one of the most sought-after performers of her time. The desire to create a dynamic energy exchange with her audience and build upon the ensuing chemistry is a pillar of Bathgate’s philosophy as a performer.

Partita No. 1 “Songs and Poems” for solo cello (2007)…..Philip Glass (b. 1937)
Assemble…..Emily Cooley (b. 1990)
Why Women Weep: IT IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO REJOIN THE OCEAN…..Pamela Madsen (b. 1952)

[FREE WEBINAR] Why Do Donors Leave? (with Leichtag Foundation’s Sharyn Goodson & Jessica Kort)

Where does your organization focus most of its fundraising energy? Chances are, the answer is getting more donors. But what about keeping your current donors?

Research shows that nearly three out of every four new donors leave an organization and never come back.

This has led many to focus less on acquiring new supporters and more on nurturing the relationships that they already have.

Join us for this interactive webinar with Leichtag Foundation’s Vice President of Philanthropy Sharyn Goodson, and Senior Manager of Philanthropy & Communications Jessica Kort.

We will explore:

  • Why organizations lose donors and money
  • How keeping donors increases fundraising success
  • Opportunities to build donor relationships
  • Elements of a successful donor retention plan

Peer to Peer Encounters: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in the Fundraising Field

Few things are more important to a nonprofit’s success than the strength and effectiveness of its development professionals. The work of the fundraiser makes possible the work and impact of the organization. But development professionals do more than raise funds, they are vital ambassadors in the community for the organization’s work – often acting as the face of the organization in a myriad of contexts and settings.

In a region as culturally and racially diverse as San Diego County, how are we inspiring a diverse rising generation of fundraisers? How must the field respond to ensure that development professionals reflect the diversity of the region and all communities served by our sector? Why is this important to our success and community impact and how can we create the spaces and tools to nurture fundraisers of color and diverse philanthropy and leadership teams? These questions and more will be explored in a unique peer-to-peer encounter on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Fundraising Field. This facilitated conversation will share the latest developments on growing diversity in philanthropy and provide an opportunity for fundraisers to discuss and share their experience and aspirations for the future of the profession.
