Join Mission Wildlife for an incredible evening with Save the Elephants at the San Diego Natural History Museum (The Nat) on May 9 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for the San Diego premiere screening of “A Life Among Elephants.” This inspiring and powerful documentary combines dramatic wildlife footage with the story of the remarkable life of Iain Douglas-Hamilton - a contemporary of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey. During the 1970s, Douglas-Hamilton conducted pioneering research into elephant behavior and movement and through his work was the first to alert the world to the ivory poaching crisis, bringing about the first global ivory trade ban in 1989. The film follows Iain's life through the present. Traveling from Kenya to be at the screening in person will be champions from Save the Elephants, who have committed their lives to preserving these majestic creatures. A Q&A will follow the screening. Afterwards, attend an exclusive, post-film VIP Reception, where you can mingle with members of the Save the Elephants team, as well as witness a captivating live painting performance by world-renowned artist Stephen Fishwick, and enjoy delicious bites from Toast Catering. Your ticket purchase supports Save the Elephants’ mission to secure a future for wild African elephants. Through science, advocacy and on-the-ground action, Save the Elephants is a powerful voice for wildlife and wild places. Advance purchase preferred, seating limited. Check-in at the Museum's North Entrance at 5:30 p.m. Adult pricing for Film and Q&A - $40; include the VIP Reception, along with the film for $75 Child pricing (some scenes not suitable for young or sensitive children) for Film and Q&A - $25; include the VIP Reception, along with the film for $50 Mission Wildlife on Facebook / Instagram

In collaboration with So Say We All, the Hausmann Quartet presents "Seven Last Words," a performance of Joseph Haydn’s epic masterpiece alongside spoken word presentations of original works by the authors themselves. The texts will be inspired by the same scripture upon which Haydn based each of the movements of his monumental work, The Seven Last Words of Christ. Originally commissioned for a Good Friday service in 1783, it was adapted for string quartet by the composer and has since become a treasured Easter-time tradition around the world.
