Celebrate Native American Month at the Barona Cultural Center & Museum. Experience the award-winning exhibit featuring the short film "Nya’waap Illyuw Uuchyuwp – Our Way of Knowing" and see "Sinyohow Haawaakm ‘Aaknach [Sin-yo-how Haa-waa-km Aak-nach]," the newest film in the Kumeyaay Philosophy Series. Join Sinyohow [Sin-yo-how] as she teaches her twin boys how to care for the creatures around them and each other. This second film in the series brings to life the traditional teachings and oral histories of the Barona people. These stories were told to teach lessons on how to live well and be good members of the community. Barona Museum has worked tirelessly over the past eight years to bring these important stories back to the Kumeyaay community and the public. Much of this knowledge had been lost due to the consequences of colonization and genocide. Visit the Barona Cultural Center & Museum to experience the Kumeyaay way of knowing. Barona Museum is open Wednesday to Friday noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Barona Cultural Center & Museum on Facebook / Instagram

Soprano Susan Narucki presents an evening of vocal chamber music, assisted by Leanna Keith, flute, Robert Bui, cello, and others. The concert features the world premiere of "Cassandra," a 25 minute work for soprano, flute and cello, written by San Diego composer Adam Greene. Green writes "Cassandra is a setting of ... the famous mad scene in Agamemnon by Aeschylus. Cassandra was the Trojan priestess doomed to tell prophecies that would not be believed or understood.... There is nothing really "mad" about this Cassandra, of course. Not only does she tell the truth, the truth is terrifying." Also on the program, Susan will be joined by soprano Kirsten Ashley Wiest in a performance of Alba Potes' TRINOS, for two acapella sopranos. TRINOS was one of the works featured on Susan and Kirsten's critically acclaimed release on NEW FOCUS. Finally, Susan will be joined by pianist Kyle Adam Blair in a set of songs written by Clara Schumann. UC San Diego Department of Music on Facebook / Instagram
