From San Diego weekend arts events roundup (KPBS): Rafael Payare conducts the San Diego Symphony at The Shell Friday evening, featuring guest pianist Inon Barnatan, known in town as the La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest music director. Barnatan will perform Ravel's jazz-tinged Concerto in G with the symphony, a lively and sweeping work. The symphony will also perform Mahler's lovely and majestic Symphony No. 1 and a 2014 work by contemporary Venezuelan-American composer Reinaldo Moya. This piece, "Siempre lunes, siempre marzo (Always Monday, Always March)" was inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s "One Hundred Years of Solitude" — in the book, there's a room where time moves strangely, where it's always Monday, and it's always March. From the Symphony: Renowned pianist and La Jolla Music Society SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan performs Maurice Ravel's sublime Concerto in G. Music Director Rafael Payare leads the Orchestra in Gustav Mahler’s monumental and glorious Symphony No. 1. The evening opens with Reinaldo Moya's hauntingly beautiful work inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.

This exhibition will be on view Sept 18, 2021 - Jan. 30, 2022 at San Diego Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin Jacobs Common. Opening reception: Saturday, Sept. 18 from noon to 2 p.m. The opening reception will be hosted on the 9th floor Valeiras Sculptural Garden. Light refreshments will be served. About the exhibition: Clara E. Breed directed the San Diego Public Library for 42 years as a public servant advocating on numerous fronts, including the promotion of youth services, championing a child’s right to read by encouraging international and multicultural collections, undertaking an unprecedented expansion of the City’s Library system, and most significantly, advocating on behalf of the hundreds of Japanese American families that were incarcerated due to Executive Order 9066. Breed was ahead of her time in her interest to promote cultural understanding and fight prejudice. Her steadfast commitment and activism broadens our insights about the role libraries play in working toward a more equitable, diverse, and inclusionary future. "Call to Serve: Clara E. Breed & The Japanese American Incarceration" is co-organized by guest curators Susan Hasegawa, Linda Salem, and the San Diego Public Library. This exhibition was made possible by a collaboration between the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, the Japanese American National Museum, the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego, San Diego State University, and Simmons University Archives.
