The HSCC x Club Boutika’s approach to High Tea is to unify the different sectors of creatives within the San Diego area to underline the rich, meaningful & diverse culture we share across communities of color. High Tea is a concept that originated in England during the 1700s, preserving the idea of catering/serving tea and confections to the white-elite, aristocrats and the wealthy throughout the hours of afternoon to supper in a leisurely and posh fashion. In the early 19th century, Black Tea Rooms were created for the upper crust of black society after being excluded from white-run tea rooms post-slavery. Tickets & Admission: High Tea is a picnic style concert. Proceeds will be distributed directly to The Hill Street Country Club and our future arts & culture community programming.

The Hill Street Country Club x Club Boutika acknowledge that Oceanside and Goat Hill Park mark ancestral land that was wrongfully stolen from the Kumeeyay and Luiseño peoples. The HSCC extends its respect and gratitude to the Kumeyaay and Luiseño peoples who have lived here since time immemorial. Today, the Kumeyaay and Luiseño peoples continue to maintain their political sovereignty and cultural traditions as vital members of the San Diego Community. High Tea is a reclamation of community, culinary, and culture, and we understand that our work is not done until our indigenous siblings are liberated, celebrated and affirmed along side all members of Turtle Island. Settler colonialism is an ongoing issue and we must continue to build our mindfulness of our present participation, and encourage our community to do the same.

From the organizers: The San Diego Early Music Society welcomes back Concerto Köln, a long-time favorite of San Diego audiences. This season, they return with renowned Trinidadian soprano Jeanine De Bique to present "Mirrors," a program of arias by Handel, Graun, Riccardo Broschi and others, exploring how the same opera heroine such as Cleopatra, Rodelinda, and Alcina, might be differently conceived by major Baroque composers. The program is titled after their 2021 album that was enthusiastically received by critics and the public. Jeanine De Bique has been praised for her “dramatic presence and versatility (Washington Post) and “sheer, endless wealth of color and nuances… [and] free-floating timbre” (Opernwelt).
