What happens when the presence of silence allows for the unspoken to be heard? Carol Stein and Lissa Hunter have been fellow artists and friends for nearly 30 years. For the past ten years or so they have shared what they call Studio Days, each going to the other’s Maine-based studio, working in near silence for the day or several days in a row. Being side by side in the same space has become an integral part of each of their practices. Neither knows how her work has been influenced by the other. The arc of each artist’s practice has been continuous and integrated, each new work coming from the previous. There aren’t any seismic shifts or grand leaps that have come directly from time together. But each is certain that her work would be different and, they suspect, not so rich if they had not had these times together, these quiet connections. Opening Reception: Sunday, March 19, 2-5 p.m. Exhibition: March 19-May 7 2633 State Street, Carlsbad Village info@phesgallery.com /760-696-3022 Thursday - Saturday from 2-7 p.m. and by appointment PHES Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

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.

CONCERT ATTENDEES MUST BE VACCINATED & MASKS MUST BE WORN INDOORS. In 1996, after fifteen years of performing as a solo guitarist, Peter Pupping scheduled a performance at a local coffee shop with then long-time guitar student William Wilson. Peter and William joined forces for this “one time event” and planned an evening of classical, Spanish, and flamenco guitar. Adding a bass player and Latin percussion for this special event produced an overwhelming response. Peter decided to permanently form a quartet that specialized in Latin music but also had a broad range of expertise in many styles. Since then, the quartet has performed throughout Southern California, the Midwest, and Hawaii. The band consists of Peter Pupping and William Wilson on guitars, Jeff Basile (aka Jeff Pekarek) on upright bass, and Roy Gonzales on percussion. Due to an injury, William Wilson will not be performing at this concert. Trumpet player Sidd Basile (Jeff Basile’s son) will join the quartet, adding an interesting new sound to the well-established group. The quartet is very versatile and has an eclectic repertoire spanning centuries of classic art music, world music, jazz, and pop styles. San Diego native Kenneth Bender has been a classical guitar teacher and performer for eighteen years. He has performed solo, and in small and large groups. He has studied with many virtuoso guitarists including Christopher Parkening, during his time at Pepperdine. He will open the concert with some thrilling Spanish guitar pieces.
