Regarded as the first major regatta of the year, the San Diego Crew Classic brings together thousands of athletes from more than 100 universities, clubs and high school programs across the United States. Spanning ages 14 – 84, the Crew Classic is a competition for future Olympians as well as for those new to the sport. This event is often a highlight of their competitive rowing careers. The Crew Classic is not only an athletic event with competitors at the peak of physical fitness, but a social gathering for enthusiasts to enjoy great local food, a beer garden with San Diego’s famous local craft breweries, and shopping. The event is held at Mission Bay, just a mile from the Pacific Beach. Many athletes first experience the San Diego Crew Classic as high school competitors. The SDCC is a great introduction to the world of rowing for amateur athletes. It is larger than life — the jumbotron, the considerable number of spectators, and rowing shells as far as the eye can see. For collegiate athletes, the SDCC means a chance to size up the competition from across the nation and to earn rankings which will affect the rest of the season. Alumni of the SDCC can reconnect with former teammates, friends, and coaches. Many alumni continue to race in both alumni and masters’ club events. The Crew Classic is a place to educate your children and family on the beauty of the sport of rowing, the importance of physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, and what it means to be a teammate and to support one another. The San Diego Crew Classic nurtures young athletes as they become socially responsible adults who will pass on the lessons learned from competition. The event welcomes generation after generation to the sport of rowing. Visit: San Diego Crew Classic San Diego Crew Classic on Instagram and Facebook

The series continues on Wednesday, April 9, at Scripps Research with the Bill Frisell Trio, featuring Frisell on guitar, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums. Frisell’s career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings. Recognized as one of America’s most vital and productive performing artists, Frisell has contributed to the work of a staggering array of collaborators, including Paul Motian, John Zorn, Elvis Costello, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Rickie Lee Jones, Vinicius Cantuária, Marianne Faithfull, John Scofield, Bono, and Brian Eno, to name only a few. This work has established Frisell as one of the most sought-after guitar voices in contemporary music. Stereophile wrote, “Bill Frisell has quietly been the most brilliant and unique voice to come along in jazz guitar since Wes Montgomery.” The New Yorker noted, “Bill Frisell plays the guitar like Miles Davis played the trumpet: in the hands of such radical thinkers, their instruments simply become different animals.” His 2020 Blue Note Records release, Valentine, featuring his trio with Morgan and Royston, has been hailed as “a masterpiece” by DownBeat. “They consistently and strikingly play as one, voices intertwined, completing phrases as if sharing a single thought … the performances represent jazz playing at its most sublime.” The concert will be in person at the Scripps Research Auditorium (10620 John Jay Hopkins Drive, San Diego, CA 92121, north of Genesee Avenue in Torrey Pines Mesa). There are no physical tickets for these events. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served.

Omar Sosa Quarteto Americanos | Athenaeum Jazz The spring series opens on Thursday, March 27, at Scripps Research with a long-anticipated local debut as a leader of acclaimed Cuban composer-pianist-bandleader Omar Sosa and his Quarteto Americanos, featuring Josh Jones on drums, Ernesto Mazar Kindelán on bass, and Sheldon Brown on sax, clarinet, and flute. Sosa is widely celebrated as one of the most versatile jazz artists on the scene today. His musical trajectory traces the African diaspora from Cuba to Brazil; from Central America to Ecuador’s African-descent communities; from San Francisco and New York to his current home base in Barcelona. True to his Afro-Cuban origins, Sosa fashions a spirited vision of uncompromising artistic generosity that embraces humanity at large. Nominated for seven Grammy awards and twice for the BBC World Music Awards, Sosa received a lifetime achievement award from the Smithsonian Associates in Washington, D.C., for his contribution to the development of Latin jazz in the United States. The New York Times wrote, “Sosa's music is the unifying sort, yoking together Africa and jazz and Latin America and hip-hop. He makes it work, being one of those rare birds whose keyboard skills are near those of Chick Corea and Chucho Valdes.” Billboard commented, “Sosa is one of the truly illuminated minds of world jazz. He is shaping a new synthesis of Latin and American jazz.” The concert will be in person at the Scripps Research Auditorium (10620 John Jay Hopkins Drive, San Diego, CA 92121, north of Genesee Avenue in Torrey Pines Mesa).

Joseph Clayes III & Rotunda Galleries Harvest & gather: missed connections Harvest & Gather is pleased to present "missed connections", an exhibition that facilitates collaboration between artists who might have once worked together, but the stars did not align in their favor or their spirits could not quite connect. Each invited artist has selected another artist to exhibit with, thus fulfilling their missed connection at the Athenaeum. Moving beyond an exchange of glances but nothing more and the “you-smiled-at-me-on-the-subway-platform” prose of personal ads, Harvest & Gather seeks to allow the exhibiting artists a working opportunity to intimately connect with another artist’s work and practice. Artists are Deanna Barahona and Susan Aparicio; Katie Delaney and Elaine Fisher; Maria Antonia Eguiarte and Liz Nurenberg; and Stephen Rivas and A.R. Tran. Harvest & Gather is an experimental, nomadic curatorial project founded by mika Castañeda & Cat Gunn in 2023. With an emphasis on creating makeshift spaces for art anywhere at any moment, the project exists beyond traditional galleries and museums through pop-up shows in various locations. ARTISTS Deanna Barahona is a first-generation multidisciplinary artist from Southern California working in text, photography, installation, and sculpture. Barahona examines subcultures that emerge in Southern California’s integration process with materials referencing architecture, adornments, and symbols within the homes of the Latin American diaspora. Barahona’s work has been in exhibitions at Charlie James Gallery, Los Angeles; Bread + Salt, San Diego; Island 83 Gallery, New York City; Mandeville Gallery, La Jolla; Bakersfield Museum of Art; Two Rooms, San Diego; and Residencia 797, Guadalajara. She is set to participate in a group exhibition at Museo Raúl Anguiano in Guadalajara in the summer of 2024 and a solo exhibition at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art in 2025. Barahona holds a BA in visual arts from California State University, Bakersfield, and an MFA from the University of California, San Diego. Susan Aparicio is a Southeast Los Angeles native, a daughter of Mexican and Honduran parents, and a visual artist experimenting in the mediums of stained glass, experimental video, and installation. Her stained-glass work explores worship, desire, and Latinidad-through-pop-culture-inspired imagery from the early 2000s to today, blending bling and beauty to make the fake feel real. Her works explore the complex relationship between reality and states of being, inviting viewers to reflect on their existence within our natural, digital, and consumer worlds. Her works have been exhibited at Leiminspace, Bellyman, LaPau Gallery, Charlie James Gallery, the California Museum, the Hudson River Museum, Texas Tech University, and Cal State Dominguez Hills, among others. Her work has been recognized by publications such as LVL3 Magazine and the Daily Bruin. Aparicio was a resident at Caldera Arts Residency and the Artists’ Cooperative Residency & Exhibitions (ACRE). She earned dual BA degrees in studio art and cognitive science from the University of Virginia in 2018. She then earned her MFA in art from UCLA in 2022. Aparicio is currently based in Pasadena. Katie Delaney (they/them) is a queer, non-binary artist based in Philadelphia. Their practice questions the role of the gender binary in generational trauma by creating work within a “mythspace” that transfigures traditional storytelling. They hold an MFA from the University of Delaware (’24) and a BFA in sculpture from Towson University (’20). Their work has been exhibited internationally at Galería Municipal de Arte, Valparaíso, Chile; virtually at the Alternative Art School, Vox Populi; Grizzly Grizzly, Philadelphia; throughout the DMV, ICA Baltimore; Delaplaine Art Center, Frederick, Maryland; and The Hen House, Washington, D.C.

Stephen Rivas is an interdisciplinary artist raised in Palmdale, California. Working across photography, video, sound, and writing, Rivas creates deeply personal, multilayered works that interrogate intersections of history, identity, and resistance. His work often adopts an autobiographical lens, utilizing multi-channeled projections to weave narratives that explore memory, love, death, joy, anarchy, and the fleeting nature of time within his family’s collective history. Central to Rivas’s practice is the critique of colonial narratives and systems of power. By uncovering the preexisting “threads” of resistance and resilience within his family’s past—what he refers to as “weapons against empires”—Rivas reclaims stories that challenge dominant historical frameworks. As systemic oppression persists, Rivas sees focusing on past resistance as a method of preserving memory and a strategy for imagining liberated futures. His work highlights the connections between historical uprisings and contemporary struggles, emphasizing the enduring relevance of resilience and decentralized resistance. Rivas’s installations invite viewers into a space where personal and political histories collide, emphasizing the importance of storytelling as a tool for survival and subversion. Rivas completed his BFA in 2019 at the California Institute of the Arts, where he began exploring themes of identity, migration, and memory. He later earned an MFA from the University of California, Irvine in 2023, further refining his interdisciplinary practice and conceptual approach. A.R. Tran was born in Monterey Park, California, in 1993 and moved to New York in 2011 to attend New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. In 2015, he received his BA in Critical Race Theory and visual studies and was awarded the Finish Line Grant and Founder’s Day Award. That same year he was selected to participate in the Gallatin Arts Festival as a visual and performance artist. For more than five years, he worked in arts education and public programming for institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA), the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Mark Morris Dance Center and participated in a number of student shows at 205 Hudson Street. In 2020, he enrolled in the University of California, Irvine’s MFA program in art. There he developed his interdisciplinary art practice while taking PhD-level courses in Critical Race Theory and Black studies. In 2022, he was accepted into UC Irvine’s Pedagogical Fellowship program, was nominated for the Tom Angell Fellowship, and was named a Claire Trevor Society Scholar in Art. In spring 2023, he was awarded an Interdisciplinary Research residency at UC Irvine’s Experimental Media Performance Lab (xMPL) and his solo exhibition, entitled THE ROOT OF DESIRE IN VIOLENT AND I STILL WANT TO BE WANTED, opened at University Art Gallery in Irvine. The lecture will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for this event. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for a members-only reception, and at 6 p.m. for a general reception. Seating is first-come; first-served. Priority seating will be given to Donor level members and above.
