 Hello, San Diego!
A bit of a dip in events in the next two weeks, but it looks like things will pick up after that.
The San Diego Jewish Film Festival gets underway at the JCC on Saturday. The Italian film Liliana will screen next week at La Paloma.
Music
and dance concerts and events include the Trade Roots Reggae 40th
Anniversary Show at the Holding Company tonight, Luis Angel 'El Flaco' y
Julio Preciado at the Civic Theatre (also tonight), Korean singer Im
Chang Jung at Pechanga on Saturday, and Flamenco Intimo at
Charade Speakeasy on Sunday. Next Thursday, the San Diego Jewish Men's
Choir Carnegie Hall Preview Concert will take place at Oasis. Also, next
Thursday, the Mayrig concert at the UCSD Loft will feature Armenian
music. Next Friday features lots of music and dance with the final
Villa-Lobos Festival Concert at the Coronado Library, the Majesty of the Blues concert at Point Loma Nazarene, Irish music band Four Shillings at the Hall of Nations, and the Sol Invictus dance concert at Balboa Theatre featuring urban dance movements, capoeira, and martial arts.
Other
notable events include the Hidden Little Italy talk at St Joseph's
Cathedral on Saturday, a talk on Sunday at the Timken regarding
Sofonisba Anguissola, Portraiture, & the Art of the Gesture, and the
ongoing Monty Python’s Edukational Show at Mission Valley Mall, which wraps up on Sunday.
Lastly, the Worldview Project, which produces this newsletter every week (and does lots of other stuff too!), is a non-profit organization. Supporting cross-cultural awareness, understanding, and engagement has never been more critical than it is now. As you may have noticed, we don't annoy you with advertisements or constant fundraising appeals. But we need your support to continue to do what we do. In particular, we are seeking our readers' help in funding the further development of our Cultures in the Classroom™ curriculum project to inspire children to connect with and appreciate the wonder of cultures around the world. You can show your support by clicking on the "Donate to the WVP" button above and making a tax-deductible donation to the WVP. No donation is too small— even a dollar would be appreciated!
