Shaun Diaz · Opening set

Cosmic Wilderness

Shaun’s opening set is a cinematic journey through the cosmos, from the incomprehensible vastness of galaxies to intimate moments on Planet Earth. Original compositions, layered soundscapes, and live looping expand the cello into an orchestral world, while projected imagery gives the journey a visual life.

Violet Wing

Violet Wing looks the Anthropocene dead in the eye, and imagines looking back at Earth at a future point after all is lost, returning to the often unnoticed human and non-human lives and landscapes unfolding here. Through song, cello, field recordings, imagery, and aerial dance, Særa Fiøra and Shaun Diaz hold grief and wonder together. The work is an elegy for a changing world and an invitation to notice, love, and protect what is still here.

Rooted in the Eastern Sierra, her work attends to ecological loss and to the singular lives and landscapes that endure within it. She is drawn to humanity’s capacity for both beauty and destruction, and to the question of how we keep noticing, loving, and protecting the world in front of us.

Shaun Diaz is a composer and master cellist with eight albums, principal cellist for a traveling orchestra, and a faculty member of Möbius Leadership.
