Arts Enthusiast!
Happy fall, y’all. With the Autumn Equinox one day in arrears, a new season appears and it’s time to switch gears … in so many ways! So why not start with the arts? Coming up this week in Coronado are a bevy of options for you to attend, starting on Friday, September 23 with another installment of Coronado Library’s Autumn Concert Series. At this week's performance, world renowned guitarist Fred Benedetti performs Spanish classical, flamenco pieces, as well as original and popular music, plus tunes played on an instrument built in 1830, and even some ukulele songs. Benedetti has appeared onstage with the San Diego Symphony, San Diego Opera, Starlight Opera, American Ballet Company, Luciano Pavarotti, and Dave Brubeck, so this is an artist you won’t want to miss.
Then on Saturday, September 24, enjoy an author event with Javier Zamora as he discusses and signs his new book, Solito: A Memoir. El Salvador-born Zamora shares his heart wrenching tale, migrating alone as a nine-year-old boy through Guatemala, Mexico, and the Sonoran Desert in his quest to be reunited with his parents.
On a more light-hearted note, don’t miss the free screening of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris on Wednesday, September 28. Released earlier this year, this enchanting tale of a seemingly ordinary British housekeeper, whose dream it is to own a couture Christian Dior gown, takes her on an extraordinary adventure to the City of Lights.
To add pizzaz to the week, on Thursday, September 29 you’ll want to attend the opening reception for the “Abstract Coronado Exhibit” at the library, an exhibition of abstract photographs of Coronado by local photographer, Keith James.
Of course, there is always more happening around town, so check out other options by clicking below.
