Veterans Village of San Diego is holding its 35th annual Stand Down event this weekend. The event provides food and medical care, legal assistance, employment support, housing referrals and even haircuts to veterans and veteran families experiencing homelessness.

Then, it’s been seven months since California required trash haulers to start picking up and composting food waste. But the city of San Diego is still far away from complying.

The Polish Violin Duo | Polish Music on Stage (US Edition) Music For Two Violins – From The Era of Virtuosos to Modern Times Marta Gidaszewska and Robert Łaguniak, violins The Polish Violin Duo has been one of the most interesting debuts on the Polish classical music scene in the last few years. The ensemble consists of two charismatic musicians, Marta Gidaszewska and Robert Łaguniak, whose energy in concert forms a perfect combination with their musical sensitivity. Each of their concert appearances turns into a one-of-a-kind experience, in which the audiences have a chance to get to know and acquire a taste for chamber music dedicated to a pair of violins, a repertoire that is rarely performed in today’s philharmonic and concert halls. The Polish Violin Duo’s programs strongly feature works written by Polish composers in addition to standard international repertoire. This concert will highlight Virtuosic Etudes-Caprices Op. 18 for two violins by Henryk Wieniawski as well as works by Grażyna Bacewicz, Romuald Twardowski, and Anna Rocławska-Musiałczyk. Polish Music on Stage is realized by the National Institute of Music and Dance and co-funded by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage as part of the Inspiring Culture programme.
