N Escondido Boulevard, Escondido) put on per- formances of opera with orchestra and costumes. But the gap, which was once filled by the long- defunct San Diego Lyric Opera, is wide between these two plucky upstarts and the product put out by San Diego Opera. When it comes to
chamber music, there are almost too many options. The La Jolla Music Soci- ety and the Mainly Mozart Festival provide top-class chamber performances in the summer. During the rest of the year there are multiple chamber collabo- rations, such as Camera Lucida and the Aviara Trio, which perform in several different venues. The San Diego Sym-
phony continues to be the primary pillar of support for classical music in the county. The symphony is well funded and has increased its artistic foot-
print over the past decade or so.
This year is the final
season under music direc- tor Jahja Ling. There is a sense of excitement and anticipation as we await the naming of a new music director. Maestro Ling has taken the orchestra to a level it hadn’t reached before. The organization is on the brink of becom- ing something special in the symphonic world.

Say something The story of Coyote begins with a horse. A Trojan horse. The year is 1997. A ten-year-old Daniel Espinosa weaves through traffic at the San Ysidro Port of Entry to get a closer look at the giant wooden horse straddling the border. Years later, he would learn that the installation, called Toy An Horse, was the work of Tijuana artist
Marcos “ERRE” Ramirez. “It had two heads,”
Espinosa recalls over a cup of coffee in Tijuana’s Pasaje Rodríguez, the new home of the Coyote col- lective. “One was watch- ing north and the other was watching south. The body was transparent so you could see there was nobody in it. And it was explained to me that com- munication between the nations was the answer, but there they were, on opposite sides, not look- ing at each other. When I heard that, I was shocked. I always remembered that horse, and that’s a good example from my experi- ence of how art can show you really good infor- mation. I sometimes ask people, ‘What do you remember about adver- tising that year?’ Who was the politician running for president or whatever? You don’t remember. You don’t even catch it.
