“It was the nightingale, and not the lark, That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear! Believe me, love, it was the nightingale!" A new musical-theatrical vision brings color, light and drama to our new hall in a delicious melding of the immortal ballet-music of Prokofiev together with the world-famous poetry of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that inspired it. Chicago-based projections-artist Mike Tutaj will transform the walls and space of the Jacobs Music Center into a magical playground for the imagination. The Russian composer’s glittering orchestration will make our new acoustic chamber tremble like a bell, and a selection of established theatre talents will bring alive the story of this much-loved tragedy of two young lovers destroyed by hate and enmity. Before this, legendary pianist Emanuel Ax will join Rafael Payare and the SDSO for one of the most sumptuous concertos by the most theatrical of all composers, Mozart. A great writer once said, “All Mozart’s concertos are operas in miniature,” and this particular concerto runs the gamut from imperial grandeur and celebration to childlike innocence and sorrow.

"You cannot look at these photographs without feeling the love, joy, and pride in every picture and profession . . . a unique tapestry of stories, waiting to be shared." (Mark Cafferty, CEO, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation) We're impressed by the resilience of Artisan Businesses. We wanted a creative way to tell their stories, while celebrating their work. So here is "Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker" - a photography exhibit that invites conversations about supporting local small businesses. We're showcasing butchers from Valley Farm Market and The Meatery, bakers Hija del Maiz and Astra Bakehouse, and candlemakers 1502 Candles and Moo Lala! How do artisan business owners and their families thrive in San Diego (which Architectural Digest named America's "most expensive city")? Rebecca Smith and TJ Carter are the collaborators of this installation. Reception will be Thursday, September 19, 4:00p.m. - 5:30p.m. For more information on the reception visit: sandiego.librarymarket.com
