From May 13–16, 36 accordionists from across the United States will gather in San Diego for a 4-day collaborative music event culminating in a public performance on Saturday, May 16 at 2 p.m. at the Ronald Reagan Community Center in El Cajon. The final concert, the San Diego Accordion Extravaganza, features a large ensemble of musicians who have rehearsed virtually for six months before coming together in person. The program includes music from film and swing classics as well as orchestral works, aiming to challenge perceptions of the accordion in modern music. International touring duo Squeeze Play (Kim and Dan Christian) will headline the event. “This is the accordion unleashed—explosive, virtuosic, and powerful enough to sound like a full orchestra and a swinging big band.”

Join us for the reception to mix and mingle with the artists. The show reflects the culmination of each artist’s journey—shaped by exploration, experimentation, and years of practice at SDSU. See thesis presentations from five MFA students working across disciplines, including ceramics, graphic design, jewelry and metalwork, and painting and printmaking. Artists: Carolina Danu, Benjamin Darby, Sarah Garcia, Maryam Kashani, Soori McEachern

François Truffaut’s first feature is also his most personal. Told through the eyes of Truffaut’s cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), "The 400 Blows" sensitively re-creates the trials of Truffaut’s own childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, and petty crime. The film marked Truffaut’s passage from leading critic to trailblazing auteur of the French New Wave. Essential cinema!

Book & lyrics by Ali Viterbi Music & lyrics by Toby Singer In 1940s Budapest, two Jewish figures rose to prominence. One was Hannah Senesh. The second was Rudolf Kastner. Yet of the two, Senesh is the only to enter the Jewish people’s pantheon of heroes. History remembers Kastner as a villain, while it lauds Senesh as one of its greatest heroes. But really: when we look back into the dark, what story will we tell? So asks the opening lyric of "Budapest, Budapest," which tells the unknown story of Rudolf Kastner and asks: What is the cost of redemption? What does it mean to be a hero?
