To see that transformation from a campus that was mostly STEM-focused. This new department is created for events and arts happenings on campus. “There were very few opportunities to see live events then. “I came to UCSD 20 years ago as a music major with an economics minor,” she said. Joanna Christian, ArtPower’s associate director of marketing and communications, considers that an important milestone for the university. Starting this fall, ArtPower will operate under the newly formed Campus Performance & Events Office. Other events are spread over the campus, except for three at downtown San Diego’s Balboa Theatre - including author and humorist David Sedaris, an ArtPower favorite. The La Jolla campus’s new 2,650-seat Epstein Family Amphitheater, which opens in October, will host four ArtPower events, and the intimate Loft at UCSD will present 11 concerts. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the La Jolla Light. Wong’s presentation will be at UCSD’s 600-seat Jeannie Auditorium, which opened last fall. She’ll speak afterward and join a panel on mental health.” “La Jolla Playhouse is showing her current play, ‘Sweatshop Overlord.’ We’re screening her breakout film about mental health among Asian Americans. “Kristina Wong is someone ArtPower introduced to San Diego,” said Peimer, who noted that 16 of the new season’s 30 shows are area debuts. It includes Chicago trumpeter-composer Marquis Hill New Zealand-based Atamira Dance Company Oxford University’s resident ensemble, the Castalian String Quartet Charly Lowry, an Indigenous woman from North Carolina’s Lumbee/Tuscarora tribes and Aynur Doğan, a contemporary Kurdish singer-instrumentalist from Turkey.ĪrtPower’s special events this season range from Argentine folk-fusion band Fémina to Kristina Wong’s film “Wong Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

After pivoting to a virtual-live hybrid, Peimer said he’s excited for what looks to be a full live 2022-23 season, running Sept. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted ArtPower’s past 2½ seasons, restricting travel for international artists. To be able to bring music from places like New Zealand, Israel and France does my globalist heart good.” And I’m so happy to finally have international artists back. “I love to present different styles of American music - Appalachian, Creole and Cajun, among others. “Bringing the world to San Diego is one of my favorite things,” said Jordan Peimer, ArtPower’s executive director since 2014. The upcoming season of UC San Diego’s ArtPower offers a musical journey across the country, the world and even under the ocean.
