In observance of San Diego Climate Week, the Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice, the Climate Justice Action Group of First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, and SanDiego350 proudly present the film "The Letter: A Message for Our Earth". This moving documentary was inspired by the late Pope Francis’s concern for our warming planet. He invited frontline leaders from Hawaii, India, Senegal, and the Amazon to travel to Rome for an exclusive dialogue with him. Their conclusion: Climate change knows no national borders. Together – and only together – can we care for our common home. A brief discussion will follow the 80-minute film. Vegan snacks will be served. Please bring your reusable water bottle.

Friday, 11 a.m. Saturday, 7:30 p.m. Andreas Ottensamer, conductor Julie Phillips, harp RAVEL: "Rigaudon" from "Le Tombeau de Couperin" ROTA: Concerto for Harp SHOSTAKOVICH: Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47 Immerse yourself in an evening of luminous melodies and emotional depth as the orchestra presents a program that celebrates elegance, imagination, and resilience. The concert opens with Maurice Ravel’s “Rigaudon” from "Le Tombeau de Couperin," a brilliant tribute to 18th century French dance. Its crisp rhythms and buoyant energy capture Ravel’s unmatched craftsmanship and grace. The mood turns tender and poetic with Nino Rota’s Concerto for Harp and Orchestra, performed by our own Julie Phillips, a rarely heard gem by the beloved composer of film scores such as The Godfather. In this work, Rota’s distinctive lyricism and cinematic color take center stage, as the solo harp shimmers over a tapestry of orchestral warmth – by turns playful, nostalgic, and dreamlike. The evening concludes with the monumental Symphony No. 5 by Dmitri Shostakovich. Written under intense political scrutiny, the symphony moves through haunting introspection, defiant struggle, and ultimately, a cathartic triumph. It remains one of the most powerful and emotionally charged works of the 20th century – an unforgettable testament to music’s ability to speak truth and transcend hardship.

He’s been called Gen Z’s rockstar heir apparent, but SOMBR is still, in many ways, Shane Boose, the kid who found his voice via a makeshift bedroom studio on the Lower East Side and who is, to this day, the sole writer (and co-producer) of his world-beating songs. The 20-year-old NYC native taught himself production and recorded by night while studying classical music and vocal performance at the prestigious, public LaGuardia High School. Now, with a sticky mix of arena pop, indie yearn, and glam charisma, he documents young love with a smoldering vulnerability and depth celebrated around the globe. In 2025, his smash single “back to friends” hit #1 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. SOMBR on Facebook / Instagram
