Carlo Miranda, The Barber (detail), 2022, Oil on panel Courtesy of the artist

Portraits and Pictures, an Art of Elan performance at The San Diego Museum of Art, was inspired by the incredibly life-like oil paintings of local artist Carlo Miranda and his exhibition at The San Diego Museum of Art, Carlo Miranda: In Search of Sonder. This diverse musical program was a mosaic of sounds, drawing from a myriad of musical traditions, histories and cultures, and featured the internationally renowned Formosa Quartet, along with San Diego Symphony musicians Andrew Hayhurst and Jeremy Kurtz-Harris.
