Salons were the cultural and intellectual hub of Paris; open forums for the city’s most creative minds to engage in thought-provoking and often subversive conversations. These events, along with the famed Masquerade balls, were rife with stirring and seductive new ideas, art, literature, and music. The pieces on A Weekend in Paris: The Salon and The Masquerade emerged from these glamorous salons and range from the charming piano duo by Debussy and Sarasate’s devilishly virtuosic Carmen Fantasy to Ravel and Caplet’s decadent and macabre evocations of Edgar Allan Poe’s story "The Masque of the Red Death." This event is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, and features a prelude lecture by Jennifer Walker at 6:30 p.m. at the The JAI. Date | Friday, August 5 at 7:30 p.m. Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center Get tickets here! Ticket prices ranging from $48 to $98.

From the gallery: Anya Gallaccio’s Rêvons D'or will be on view at ONE from April 23-June 4. Here, a bronze cast portion of a tree stands overturned and balances on its bifurcated limbs. Porcelain apples hang from rope which clings to the texture of the tree. Unlike Gallaccio’s time-based installations which allow organic material to decompose, melt, or otherwise change, in this 2006 sculpture that natural process has been stopped by the artist and frozen indefinitely in bronze and porcelain. Gallaccio, part of the generation of Young British Artists, was born in Scotland and lived in London until 2008, when she moved to San Diego to join the faculty of the Visual Arts Department at the University of California, San Diego. Gallaccio attended Kingston Polytechnic and Goldsmiths College at the University of London. Her work is featured in numerous international public and private collections, with solo exhibitions at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, Scotland; Lehmann Maupin, New York, NY; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA; Artpace, San Antonio, TX; SculptureCenter, New York, NY; Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom; and Serpentine Gallery, London, United Kingdom, among others. On view: Apr. 23 through Jun. 4, 2022 Artist reception: Saturday, May 14 from 5-8 p.m. Gallery hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Note: Quint ONE is located in the Bread and Salt complex.
