Join music, art, literary, and dance historian Victoria Martino in a five-week lecture series, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Diaghilev by rediscovering and redefining the scope of his immeasurable influence on modern culture. Who was Sergei Diaghilev? Condemned by his own country as the ultimate exemplar of bourgeois decadence and depravity, he was excised from Soviet cultural history. Yet, in the international world of art, music, dance, and theater, he was revered, even idolized, as the greatest impresario of all time. Creator, critic, curator, Diaghilev played all these roles, defining for many the very meaning of contemporary art in the 20th century. In his role as founder and director of the legendary Ballets Russes, Diaghilev commissioned and patronized a veritable lexicon of artists, choreographers, composers, dancers, and designers: from Matisse to Picasso, Fokine to Massine, Debussy to Stravinsky, Nijinsky to Pavlova, Bakst to Chanel. Date | Tuesday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m., doors open at 7 p.m. Location | The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library Register here! Member admission: $16 Non-member admission: $21 There are no physical tickets for these events. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Seating is first-come; first-served.

This is the third of four Literary Salon meetings on Cormac McCarthy’s "All the Pretty Horses" being held in January. In this workshop we will cover questions like: do the usual principles of character—desire, flaw, physicality, specificity—still apply when an author never takes us inside their characters? How does McCarthy’s authorial voice intersect with the way we understand his characters? For best results, participants should plan to finish reading the novel before the meeting. Date | Tuesday, January 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Location | Online Register here! Members: $20 Nonmembers: $25 You will be emailed the Zoom link 24 hours before the start of class. If you sign up less than 24 hours before the start of the class, please email Kristen at programs@sandiegowriters.org for your link.
