Program: Claude Debussy: Prélude à “L'après-midi d'un faune” (Prelude to “Afternoon of a Faun”) Claude Debussy: Fantaisie for Piano and Orchestra Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 4 in G Major From the San Diego Sympyony: Revel in two amazing pieces by the French composer Claude Debussy. The first, Prelude to "Afternoon of a Faun," made his international reputation for its unashamed sensuality and dreamy delicacy. The second, Fantaisie for Piano and Orchestra, is remarkable for its lushness, unlike anything else the composer wrote. And who better than the amazing pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet to be at the keyboard? Then Rafael Payare will be on the podium for Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, which abounds in gorgeously colorful melodies that range from child-like innocence to deep explorations of the human soul.

Sunset Cliffs Park meanders along a mile and a half of San Diego’s coastline, beckoning tourists and locals alike. These stunning cliffs inspired Albert Spalding, sportsman and visionary, to create a park in 1915 for all to enjoy. Many have left their mark in the century since, including the mighty Pacific Ocean. John Mills, an enterprising land baron, restored the original park, only to have it fall into neglect during the Depression and World War II. It became a popular spot for pioneering surfers and divers in the postwar boom. The park’s colorful sunsets and landscape attracts artists, children and others that enjoy beauty. Join us for our next “History Talks!” Lecture on Wednesday, May 24 at 7 p.m. Author Kathy Blavatt grew up on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and married her husband Ray at Villa Surf above Sunset Cliffs’ Garbage Beach. She has personal insights and knowledge of Point Loma’s beloved Sunset Cliffs Park history. Kathy, a historian, relates many of the park’s transformations back to 1900 and looks to its future. She also talks about the visionaries, the Theosophists, WWII, watersports pioneers, horticulturists, and others that left their loving marks on the park and the adjoining community. Kathy has authored seven books, given many lectures, is an Ocean Beach Historical Society board member, and has been active in the community. She has a passion for local history which she loves sharing with others. Her favorite statement comes from Sunset Cliffs Park’s extraordinary founder Albert Spalding, who said, “The park is for all to enjoy.” Countless visitors have enjoyed the park since it opened in 1915. History Talks! is a monthly lecture series presented by the Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House. Each month a local historian or specialist will delve into topics related to San Diego and the Davis-Horton House to bring a unique glimpse into the history of our city. Come hear history come alive! Lectures are free for GQHF Members, $5 for the public. Limited seating. Zoom simulcast will also be available!

Guided by seven renowned collections and descriptive commentaries, participants will travel around the world and back. Sweig’s first international trip was an Art History Tour with The Bishop’s School in 1984. Since then, she broadened her techniques to draw the viewer in for their own imaginary and sensory experience. Sweig will present four themed demonstrations during assigned gallery hours: ‘En plein air’ inside and out at St James Church, Greek Skyrian equine watercolors, travel sketchbooks and an in-progress oil painting of Meteora, Greece. (See websites for demo schedules.) 1) Around the World in 80 Paintings: 2012. Eighty watercolors and oils represented the journeys encompassing the world by Sweig including California, Hawaii, South America, Europe and Egypt. 2) Gyotaku: 1988-2010. Over these years, Sweig focused on the legendary Japanese art (gyo = fish, taku = hand imprint). Ink is applied to the subject, rice paper laid and pressed by hand. A mirrored image reveals art from sea horses, Garibaldi, octopuses, flying fish to a Great White Shark. 3) Touch the Ancient Skyrian Horse: from 2006- Life-sized works revere these small horses with a monumental past. As the Parthenon’s frieze portrays Alexander the Great using them in battle, she fused stone pigments and oils on canvases. Viewers are welcomed to feel the texture! Her current project, a watercolor book, is dedicated to The Sylva Project, an equine breeding program in Corfu, Greece. 4) In Bloom: 2011- 21. Inspired by ‘plein air’ venues, garden gems come to life from Monet’s wisteria French lavender, California poppies, tropical birds of paradise to the hollyhocks of Santa Fe, New Mexico. 5) Finding Venetian Angels: 2020. Twenty oil paintings depict angels in human form, Byzantine mosaics and spirited imagery collected by Sweig during a 25 day quest in Venice, Italy. 6) In the Air: from 2018. Look up! This uplifting collection includes hummingbirds, the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, a village in the clouds of Provence and central Greece’s Meteora, six Eastern Orthodox Monasteries built on immense natural pillars called Meteoras. (suspended in air). 7) La Jolla Treasures, 2014- present: Featuring Sweig’s hometown, return to admired scenes captured in oil paintings from the La Jolla Cove, The Shores, Windansea Shack, Goldfish Point, Shell Beach, The Bishop’s School and St James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.
