Brahms X Radiohead is an epic symphonic synthesis of Radiohead’s album OK Computer and the First Symphony of Johannes Brahms, composed for full symphony orchestra and three solo vocalists. The piece offers a reimagined experience of each work by seeing it through the lens of the other, exploring the explosive tension and deep pathos they have in common. Brahms’ 19th-century orchestral sound palette is used throughout, but woven in, superimposed and inserted are the melodies and music of Radiohead. At times one hears the themes and lyrics of Radiohead suspended over Brahms’ symphony; at times the orchestra plays the music of Radiohead but filtered through the counterpoint and harmonies of Brahms. Every combination of synthesis is explored in conductor Steve Hackman’s recomposition, as the music moves from one to the other so seamlessly that many times the audience is left wondering which is which, and how the combination was even possible.

Registration for this event will close on March 5, 2024 @ 1 p.m. Register: https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/power-friendships-npr-legal-affairs-correspondent-nina-totenberg-356061 You are invited to an intimate conversation with Nina Totenberg as she talks about her nearly fifty-year friendship with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her book "Dinners With Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships." Four years before Nina Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The National Observer, Nina was curious about Ruth’s legal brief, asking the Supreme Court to do something to declare law that discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional. In a time when women were fired for becoming pregnant, often could not apply for credit cards or get a mortgage in their own names, Ruth patiently explained her argument. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship. Read more

Brain Balance, a leading drug-free brain training program designed to help adults and kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, cognitive performance, health, safety, and emotional well-being, offers a complimentary kindness webinar. When we think about being kind or unkind, we tend to focus on the impact we have on others. While this is vitally important, it’s also key to know how being kind or unkind impacts our own brains. Extensive research has taught scientists a great deal about what occurs in our brains when we disconnect with others by being callous and when we connect with them by being kind. It has serious implications for our brain health and overall health. Kindness is a choice that can bring us amazing health benefits, as well as benefits to others. Understanding why we might feel an impulse to be unkind, learning strategies to replace this impulse with “co-regulation,” can do wonders for our health, happiness, and high-performance. Brain Balance of Greater San Diego has three centers in Carmel Mountain Ranch (10175 Rancho Carmel Drive, Suite 124, 92128), Chula Vista (310 3rd Avenue, Suite C7, 91910), and Encinitas (165 S.
