Oolong Gallery welcomes two artists to town with side-by-side solo exhibitions. Austrian abstract painter Markus Bacher will display large scale works that are vaguely figurative, vaguely landscape rendered in textured, muted tones periodically splashed with saturated yellows and other vivid hues. Claire Chambless, a recent Cal Arts MFA grad, will display a collection of striking sculptures. Her work often features curved and looped antler-like works adorned with jewels or beading. —From KPBS weekend arts preview by Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS.

The “Pleasure of Your Company” music series welcomes back the Grigorian-Gubenko Piano Duo on Sunday, March 12, at 2:30 p.m. at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center. Join us for an “Afternoon in Paris” featuring a delightful program of piano four-hands music by French composers. Comprised of Georgian-born Anna Grigorian and Ukranian-born Natasha Gubenko, the award winning Grigorian-Gubenko Piano Duo was formed in 2016. Prior to joining their talents as duet artists, both pianists have performed as soloists in the United States and internationally. Since then, the duo has been featured numerous times at the MTAC conventions, and continues to perform extensively at various professional and community functions. Their repertoire spans Bach to Brahms, Debussy and Piazzola, played on one or two pianos. Their most recent performances include Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, The Athenaeum in La Jolla, and McKinney Theater in Orange County. In addition to performing, both pianists lead busy teaching careers, conduct masterclasses, serve as adjudicators, and hold leadership positions in state and national professional music teachers associations. There is no charge for the concert, which is sponsored by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library, although donations are appreciated. Masks are required for all audience members regardless of immunization status. Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center is located at 10301 Scripps Lake Drive near Miramar Lake.
