From the San Diego Symphony: Artists and Repertoire: Rafael Payare, conductor Leah Crocetto, soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano, mezzo-soprano Limmie Pulliam, tenor Aleksey Bogdanov, baritone San Diego Master Chorale Giuseppe Verdi: "Requiem" About the performance: Music Director Rafael Payare and the Orchestra open the new season with one of the monumental masterpieces of Western music. Verdi’s Requiem is an equally thrilling experience for both the lifelong music lover and the new listener discovering choral and orchestral music for the first time. Few works are so directly filled with tragedy, grandeur and human pity. What better way to open the season!

From the museum: Celebrate Dia de Muertos with the Women’s Museum of California. Stop by the WMC Education Center anytime between 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on November 1st to join WMC Artistic Director Katie Ruiz in decorating our feminist altar honoring Yolanda Lopez and other trailblazing women. Yolanda López, an artist and activist who created one of the most famous artworks in Chicano history by boldly recasting the Virgin of Guadalupe in her own image — as a young, strong, brown woman wearing running shoes and a wide grin. Members of the public are encouraged to bring a photo of a feminist who has passed away (ie: RBG, Artemisia Gentileschi, Miriam Shapiro, Ida B. Wells) and come decorate a frame for the photo. Enjoy an evening of crafts and community for all ages. Typically, Dia de Muertos is a Mexican holiday that honors those who have passed. Creating an altar (ofrenda) is believed to help the souls come through to visit us for one night. We will have an atole (corn) beverage to enjoy, crafts, and community to celebrate the lives of many women activists. Follow on social media: Facebook + Instagram

The San Dieguito Heritage Museum and the Ovation Theatre are excited to announce the production of the first-ever "Haunted Ghost Town Spooktacular" at Heritage Ranch, 450 Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas. The weekends of October 21-23 and October 28-30, the brand new otherworldly theatrical production will turn, what during the day, is an innocent stroll through the artifacts and exhibits of the ancestors, into a 25-minute spine-chilling tour of the pranks and secrets of the departed at night. Student actors of Ovation Theatre will guide those brave enough through the Heritage Ranch property with tours every thirty minutes: Family-friendly less spine-tingling tours from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and horrifyingly frightening tours for all from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Visit SDHeritage.org to buy tickets and for more information. Ticket reservations are required. Ticket prices are $20.00 for adults and $10.00 for children 10 and under. Proceeds from this ghoulish event will go towards funding for additional school tours at the San Dieguito Heritage Museum and to Ovation Theatre programs.
