Spreckels Organ Society, a non-profit organization curating concerts and performances in the heart of Balboa Park, will host a special performance in support of Ukraine, called “A Music Tribute to Peace, Dignity & Democracy” on Saturday, March 19 at 5:30 p.m. at Spreckels Organ Pavilion. Event is free & open to the public Other organizations supporting the event include the San Diego Diplomacy Council. All donations received at the concert will be used to provide humanitarian relief for Ukraine. Guest artists include Soprano Laynee Dell Woodward, Mezzo-Soprano Sarah-Nicole Carter, Baritone Michael Sokol and the Organ Pavilion Rock Band with Chloe Lou, Lauren Leigh Martin, Kenseth Thibideau, Richard “T-Bone” Larson, and Ben Zinn. The band will perform classic rock songs from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC. “This concert is a call for peace with no political affiliation,” said Raúl Prieto Ramírez, San Diego Civic Organist. “We see the current events as an opportunity to call for human dignity and peace. When JD Spreckels donated the organ to the City of San Diego, it was meant to be not just an entertainment tool, but a tool to feed every human soul with deeper and more delicate emotions to grow our human values.” The Spreckels Organ Society – as the cultural organization – seeks ways to honor Spreckels’ philanthropic gift to the City by building upon its wish to support the uniqueness, value, and importance of the individual human soul, which is highlighted through music as an intimate experience of inner self. The Spreckels Organ Society’s trustees believe in that duty. The Society’s educational program constantly seeks to grow in that mission as well. The Spreckels Organ Pavilion hosts weekly concerts each Sunday at 2 p.m. Beginning last Sunday, and continuing until the crisis in Ukraine ends, each Sunday concert will start with the National Anthem of Ukraine. Prieto Ramirez will also dress in the Ukrainian colors to spread awareness and support for all of those affected. All concerts on the Spreckels Organ are free to the public in accordance with the 1915 Deed of Gift whereby the brothers John and Adolph Spreckels gave the organ and pavilion to the City of San Diego.

North Coast Repertory Theatre presents Richard Dreyfuss in a benefit reading of "The Soap Myth" More than a half-century after WW II, a young investigative reporter finds herself caught between numerous versions of the same story as she befriends a Holocaust survivor (Richard Dreyfuss) on a crusade about the atrocity of ‘soap’ – did the Nazis make soap from the corpses of murdered Jews? Played out against the backdrop of deadline reporting and journalistic integrity, the critically acclaimed "The Soap Myth" by Jeff Cohen questions who has the right to write history—those people who have lived it and remember it, those who study and protect it, or those who would seek to distort its very existence? And finally, what is our responsibility once we know the truth? This is theatre of witness at its best – provocative and haunting. "The Soap Myth" will play January 24 and 25, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. at North Coast Repertory Theatre. 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solona Beach, CA 92075. To purchase tickets call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org There will be a talkback after each performance. The talkback on Monday, January 24 is with one of the leading experts in the world on the Holocaust, Dr. Michael Berenbaum, moderated by Richard Salomon, Co-Founder and longstanding Board member of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, the 2017 National Museum of the Year.
