The Cracow Duo: Jan Kalinowski, cello and Marek Szlezer, piano San Diego Central Library | Neil Morgan Auditorium | 6:30 p.m. | FREE The Cracow Duo’s program explores the richness of Polish music across generations, from the profound lyricism of Chopin’s late Sonata in G minor, through Paderewski’s intimate miniatures and folk-inspired "Cracovienne," to the rhythmic drive and neoclassical brilliance of Tansman’s "Partita" for cello and piano.

The California Center for the Arts, Escondido, in collaboration with Persian Place, presents Nowruz – Persian New Year, marking the arrival of spring and the beginning of the new year in Persian culture. Observed for more than 3,000 years across diverse regions and communities, Nowruz remains a time of renewal, reflection, and connection. This gathering reflects a shared commitment to honoring cultural traditions that continue to hold deep meaning for our local community. While many Persian organizations across the United States have paused public programs in response to the current situation in Iran, the Center and Persian Place believe it is important to sustain spaces where heritage, artistic expression, and community can be experienced together. The afternoon will feature live performances, a Women’s Artisan Market, arts and crafts, a kids exhibition, food, music, and free admission to the public opening of the new exhibition, "Maryam Bayat: Unrolling Paradise." This event is free and open to all. Event sponsored by Cosmic Solar & Roofing.

"Unrolling Paradise" explores the Persian garden as a living design tradition carried through textiles, memory, and everyday objects. Interdisciplinary artist Maryam Bayat reinterprets centuries-old carpet aesthetics through sculptural works that merge traditional Persian rugs with contemporary form and function. Raised in Tehran in a family of rug producers and now based in North County San Diego, Bayat draws from inherited craft to create installations that reflect on place, belonging, and cultural continuity. Her woven sculptures—appearing as furniture, abstract trees, and domestic interiors—extend the symbolism of the garden into three-dimensional space, linking ideas of sanctuary to personal and collective memory. This exhibition is curated by Sadry Hedayat and organized in collaboration with Persian Place. The exhibition opens alongside Nowruz – Persian New Year on March 14, 2026, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Maryam Bayat is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, and functional art. Using repurposed furniture, Persian rugs, and architectural forms, she repositions domestic materials within three-dimensional space, shifting them from utility to structure. Raised in Tehran in a family of rug producers, Bayat draws from inherited craft traditions shaped by repetition, pattern, and labor. Her work examines how cultural knowledge is carried through objects and adapted across generations, connecting ideas of home, belonging, and continuity to lived experience. Bayat lives and works in the United States. California Center for the Arts Museum on Facebook / Instagram
