Wilfrido Terrazas (Willy/he/él) is a flutist, improviser, composer, and educator based in San Diego, originally from Ensenada, Mexico. His work explores the edges of notation, improvisation, and collective creativity, and finds inspiration in various experimentalist lineages, Mexican folk traditions, and poetry. He has premiered over 400 works, composed more than 80, and recorded 60+ albums released internationally. Wilfrido has appeared at leading festivals and venues across 23 countries, he is a core member of Generación Espontánea, Mexico City’s pioneering improvisers’ collective, and co–organizes the Semana Internacional de Improvisación in Ensenada. Since 2017, he has been a professor of music at the University of California San Diego. He is also member of the National System of Art Creators of Mexico (SNCA) for the period 2026-28.
Composer, flutist, and improviser Rachel Beetz explores presence through sound and listening. Her works recreate physical atmospheres based on her deep listening adventures in the wild, exploring hidden worlds of nature and machines. Combining experimental field recordings and electronically modified flutes, her works examine community, environmentalism, and women’s work through sound, textiles, and lighting. Her projects have been featured in concert halls and galleries in Australia, Iceland, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
