Join Pointeworks for an in-studio open rehearsal of a new work by decorated emerging choreographic voice Keerati Jinakunwiphat. After just one week in the studio, experience the early stages of her ballet in creation and gain insight into the choreographic process. Step into the studio for this is a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of a ballet in development—where ideas are still evolving, movement is being shaped, and the creative process is fully visible. As a choreographer, Jinakunwiphat’s work centers on community, connection, and identity, drawing from her experience as a Thai-American artist navigating multiple cultural perspectives. Her process emphasizes collaboration and exploration, asking how we relate to one another through movement. This event offers a unique window into that process—inviting audiences to engage not just with the final product, but with the making of the work itself. Pointeworks on Facebook / Instagram

Experience bold, abstract expressionist works by local artist Stephen Williams while enjoying complimentary wine, beer, and curated bites.

Adjoin is bringing together the community through canvas and cuisine at the stunning Hyangle Art Gallery in downtown San Diego. Join us for a night of visual storytelling, generous giving, and refined flavors, where every bite and brushstroke contributes to a greater cause. Local artist, Stephen Williams, was one of the first artists to collaborate with Adjoin and lead a mindfulness art workshop for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities that infused journaling, breathwork, and abstract art expression. Each artist learned valuable tools to expand their creativity, connect physical art with mental health, and build confidence to create without expectations. As a professional abstract painter, certified art therapy practitioner, community leader, and owner of The Hyangle Art Gallery in Downtown San Diego, Williams often donates his time and resources to make art accessible to the public through local nonprofits. Adjoin and Stephen Williams are continuing to share the meaningful impact art has on people with disabilities as a means of communication and expression by hosting an elevated evening of fun and philanthropy. This event will highlight the successes of Stephen’s art workshop at Adjoin, Adjoin’s broader impacts in the community, and the growing art culture in San Diego. Adjoin on Facebook / Instagram

Gershwin in Vienna Concert-Lecture presented by Levi Hammer, piano Tuesday, May 26, 2026 Levi Hammer’s solo piano album "Gershwin in Vienna" brings together his American roots and his current life in Europe, where he has lived for the last decade. The historical and musical connections between Gershwin, Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern are fascinating but rarely explored beyond a tantalizing footnote. At the Athenaeum, Hammer will play much of the album and speak about the musical parallels between Gershwin and the Viennese modernist masters. Paintings by Gershwin and Schoenberg—both accomplished painters!—will accompany Hammer’s performance of their music. In addition, the composers’ Californian connection will be highlighted in a short film shot on Gershwin’s own tennis court in Los Angeles in the 1930s—right where their legendary tennis matches took place. This program is also an artistic and personal self-portrait of Hammer himself as he describes growing from a child of the Great American Songbook to a conductor and pianist wrestling with the rigorous beauties of the Second Viennese School. Levi Hammer; photo credit: Denislav Matzel About Levi Hammer: Known for his remarkable range and versatility, Levi Hammer performs regularly as both a conductor and pianist. He has conducted orchestras across the United States and Europe, and his repertoire encompasses more than 70 operas. Additionally, he has prepared acclaimed operatic productions for major conductors, including Lorin Maazel, Simon Rattle, Zubin Mehta, and Gustavo Dudamel. Besides the standard repertoire, Hammer is an accomplished performer of both Baroque and contemporary music. As a pianist, he appears as a concerto soloist, chamber musician, and art song collaborator, and he has frequently performed Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier and Aaron Copland’s complete music for piano. “Where words fail, music speaks.” — Hans Christian Andersen Athenaeum Music & Arts Library on Facebook / Instagram
