San Diego Symphony's Music Connects is a free community outreach program. This special series brings a one-hour, family-friendly concert to local neighborhoods, for free. This weekend's series involves five shows. On Saturday, Mar. 26, there are three shows — two daytime performances at St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Clairemont, and an evening concert at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Banker's Hill. On Sunday, Mar. 27, there are two afternoon shows in Coronado. The program is the same for each concert, featuring five fun, vibrant works by a diverse cast of composers. For the Wes Anderson fans, one of the selections is Benjamin Britten's "Simple Symphony," which was featured prominently in "Moonrise Kingdom." The symphony will play two movements from the work, including the delightful "Playful Pizzicato" movement. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Performances: Three performances on Saturday, Mar. 26, 2022: 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church (Clairemont), 3502 Clairemont Dr, San Diego, CA 92117 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral (Bankers Hill), 2728 Sixth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 Two performances on Sunday, Mar. 27, 2022: 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at John D.
