Friends! Join us at noon for a live collaborative performance underneath the peppercorn tree with our dear friends and extraordinary improvisors Nicolas Maldonado and David Moses. Approaching longform composition and musical healing modalities through complimentary textures and tonalities, the two recently performed during Nico’s Tea At Shiloh residency so you know this afternoon is going to be an absolutely serene gathering.
Think sun rays leaking through the peppercorn leaves, a slight breeze, that drowsy type of heat, hawks soaring overhead, all soundtracked with effected saxophones, flute, norns, synths, and other electronics.
Bring a blanket, a friend, a picnic, and pull up with us.
All ages & donation based!
Music begins around 12:30p
& we’ve gotta end at 1:30p sharp
to head to Ojai for our evening concert
with Openness Trio. Come with?

A gentle reminder: please leave your adorable pups at home this afternoon as to not disrupt the Audubon Center’s ongoing habitat restoration efforts.
Nicolas Maldonado is a saxophonist, composer, and improviser exploring the intersection of acoustic and electronic sound. Performing on tenor and soprano saxophone, he integrates live electronics to shape spontaneous compositions within an evolving sonic landscape.
His work seeks to blur the lines between structured form and open improvisation, creating immersive textures that fuse jazz, experimental music, and electronic manipulation.
David Moses is an ambient noisemaker from Los Angeles. A cellist, synthesist, open source enthusiast, and budding flautist, David Moses released his debut album Carrier in 2023 and has since co-founded the Soft Future ensemble with his partner Lani Trock.
His music is characterized by patience, compassion, and a gentleness that many in our LA arts communities know and love.
For 20+ years the Audubon Center at Debs Park has been a beacon for how conservation organizations can work within our cities to cultivate a deeper relationship between people and place. Through monthly hikes, restoration days, bird walks, field trips, movie nights, community festivals, and hosting gatherings like these each and every month, the Audubon Center at Debs Park has played an essential role in building a more diverse and inclusive conservation movement here in Los Angeles.
We’re so grateful for the humans of the Audubon Center, the advocacy that they champion in dialogue with local culture and native ecology, and it is an absolute honor to gather here together on the 3rd Saturday of (almost) every month.
