The Torres Cycle: Wilfrido Terrazas
Russell Lane at Gilman Drive, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free - $15
The Torres Cycle (2014-2021) by Wilfrido Terrazas is a music ritual which honors and celebrates the seven cardinal directions: North, South, East, West, Above, Below, Center. It comprises seven compositions for diverse instrumental ensembles which incorporate improvisatory and spatial strategies to ask fundamental questions about location, orientation, belonging, and seeking sanctuary. The Torres Cycle invites humans to engage in processes of reconciliation between us and the places we inhabit and their histories. The Torres Cycle was released as an album by the New York-based label New Focus Recordings in April 2022.
