SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "Every Living Thing" by Jason Roberts
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. \nFor our April meeting\, we will discuss the 2025 Pulitzer Prize winner Every Little Thing by Jason Roberts\, an epic and extraordinary account of scientific rivalry and obsession in the quest to survey all of life on Earth. \n \nAbout Every Little Thing \nIn the eighteenth century\, two men — exact contemporaries and polar opposites — dedicated their lives to the same daunting task: identifying and describing all life on Earth. Carl Linnaeus\, a pious Swedish doctor with a huckster’s flair\, believed that life belonged in tidy\, static categories. Georges-Louis de Buffon\, an aristocratic polymath and keeper of France’s royal garden\, viewed life as a dynamic swirl of complexities. Each began his task believing it to be difficult but not impossible: How could the planet possibly hold more than a few thousand species — or as many could fit on Noah’s Ark? \nBoth fell far short of their goal\, but in the process they articulated starkly divergent views on nature\, the future of the Earth\, and humanity itself. Linnaeus gave the world such concepts as mammal\, primate\, and Homo sapiens\, but he also denied that species change and he promulgated racist pseudoscience. Buffon formulated early prototypes of evolution and genetics\, warned of global climate change\, and argued passionately against prejudice. The clash of their conflicting worldviews continued well after their deaths\, as their successors contended for dominance in the emerging science that came to be called biology. \nIn Every Living Thing\, Jason Roberts weaves a sweeping\, unforgettable narrative spell\, exploring the intertwined lives and legacies of Linnaeus and Buffon — as well as the groundbreaking\, often fatal adventures of their acolytes — to trace an arc of insight and discovery that extends across three centuries into the present day.

SUMMARY:Trio Aquarelle Concert
DESCRIPTION:Trio Aquarelle takes its name from Philippe Gaubert’s luminous Trois Aquarelles — three musical watercolors painted in sound for flute\, cello\, and piano. Like watercolor itself\, this rare and intimate instrumentation can shimmer with brilliance one moment and breathe with quiet tenderness the next. \nFormed by three musicians whose roots span different corners of the world\, Trio Aquarelle brings a richly layered perspective to the chamber music stage. Elena Yarritu\, of Japanese and Mexican descent\, holds advanced degrees from Yale University and Stony Brook University\, has studied and concertized throughout Europe\, and performed at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall — her recordings on MSR Classics have been hailed as “fearsome and adventurous” and “jubilantly virtuosic.” Daniel Grab brings a globe-spanning energy to the ensemble — at home as principal cellist in Southern California concert halls and each summer on faculty at the Burgos International Music Festival in Spain. When not on stage\, he can be found exploring the Southern California coastline in search of uncrowded waves\, occasionally with a cello student in tow. Cho-Hyun Park\, a native of South Korea\, holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin and took first prize at the Bartók-Kabalevsky-Prokofiev International Piano Competition in Italy\, a distinction that led to her Carnegie Hall debut in 2015. Together\, they move fluidly across a wide expressive range\, from high-spirited virtuosity to moments of the most sublime lyricism — and it is precisely this diversity of background\, temperament\, and training that gives the ensemble its distinctive spark. \nCentral to Trio Aquarelle’s mission is a commitment to music that tells a fuller story. The ensemble actively champions works by women composers across the ages\, believing that great music has always existed in more voices than history has acknowledged. They are passionate about bringing newly discovered and rarely heard works to light\, programming them alongside the beloved standards audiences know and love — creating concerts that feel both like a homecoming and an adventure. \nTrio Aquarelle invites you into their world — one where music transcends the familiar\, carries you somewhere unexpected\, and stays with you long after the last note fades.
