Éclats d’Âme—“Fragments of the Soul”—captures the essence of human emotion through the timeless works of Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt. Beethoven’s Appassionata unleashes turbulent passion and drama, while Chopin’s First Ballade offers delicate introspection and lyrical beauty. Liszt’s B Minor Sonata blends virtuosic brilliance with profound depth, expressing a sweeping narrative of struggle and transcendence. Together, these masterpieces reveal the spectrum of the soul’s journey, from anguished conflict to fleeting moments of grace.

On Friday, March 29, we will “turn back the clock” and honor two important roles Balboa Theatre has played in the last 100 years: a silent movie theatre, and a wartime home for sailors. A screening of the silent film “The Flying Fleet” will be the highlight of an evening celebrating San Diego’s military service members. “The Flying Fleet” marks the first major Hollywood production to film at Naval Air Station North Island, and features an appearance by the USS Langley, the United States’ first aircraft carrier! Theatre organist Ken Double will accompany the 1929 film on our vintage Robert Morton theatre pipe organ, using its various “voices” to enhance the action-packed film.
