CoSA Instrumental Music Fall Recital
2024-10-15 18:00 | Black Box Theatre at Coronado Performing Arts Center, 650 D Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado musician Matt Heinecke is back and excited to bring Coronado School of the Arts’ (CoSA) talented young artists on stage for their first concert of the year. The CoSA Instrumental Music Fall Recital is happening in the Black Box Theatre at 650 D Avenue on Tuesday, October 15 at 6pm.
The recital will feature a string quintet, jazz ensemble, woodwind trio, saxophone trio, and an all-new brass quintet. Several solo pianists will also be featured. For many of the students, it will be their first time performing in a small, intimate setting where they can really connect with their audience, according to Heinecke.
“Our focus is to provide students with real-life experiences as professional musicians, which makes these small ensembles such a great opportunity,” said Heinecke. “To get that experience in high school is invaluable.”
Heinecke, who has chaired the Instrumental Music Conservatory in the past, has a long relationship with many of the young artists and is happy to work with them again.
“I have taught many of these students since they were in middle school, some as early as 4th grade, and it is very special to see them level up and take on these new challenges,” said Heinecke. “I’m excited to back as CoSA’s music department director!”
Tickets range from $5-$10 and are available for purchase on EventBrite.
The CoSA Instrumental Music Conservatory emphasizes the study of classical and jazz music. Students receive intensive training in their chosen instruments in wind, percussion, brass, jazz and string. Students also study music theory, ear training, jazz theory and improvisation, electronic music skills, composition and orchestration.
Classes are also offered in music history and culture, music technology and the music business. Students play piano, drums, violin, viola, cello, saxophone, electric guitar, tuba, trombone or any other instrument they desire to learn. CoSA Instrumental Music students are passionate about their craft, and many go on to study music in college, or continue to perform as adults.

Coronado Historical Association Wine & Lecture: California’s Sugar King
2024-10-17 17:30 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Who doesn’t love a compelling biography? Many Coronadans have read Empire Builder: John D. Spreckels and the Making of San Diego and now the legacy continues with a new book, The Sugar King of California: The Life of Claus Spreckels penned by the same author, Sandra Bonura.

This is a rags-to-riches story of a colorful and controversial immigrant and his role in the development of America’s sugar industry. He became one of the richest Americans in history and triumphed in an era rife with cronyism and corruption which ultimately transformed California’s agriculture, industry, and transportation. He wielded a clenched fist over Hawai‘i’s economy for nearly two decades after occupying a position of unrivaled power and political influence with the Hawaiian monarchy, while also advancing major technology developments on the islands. Harshly criticized by his enemies for ruthless business tactics but loved by his employees, he was unapologetic in his quest for wealth, asserting “Spreckels’s success is California’s success.”

But there’s always a cost for single-minded determination; the legendary family quarrels even included a murder charge. Spreckels’ biography is one of triumph and tragedy, a portrait of a family torn apart by money, jealousy, and ego with lessons for us all.

Dr. Sandra Bonura, who has been praised for her ability to breathe life into forgotten histories, is a native San Diegan who spent her childhood in Coronado. Bonura has worked with the Coronado Historical Association as a docent and served as the guest curator for its exhibit John D. Spreckels: The Man, The Legacy.
Register today for the October 17 lecture to hear more about the book and the primary sources she utilized to gain perspective on the “Sugar King.” Dr. Bonura is known for her meticulous research and vivid storytelling. She will present a colorful and interactive slideshow on the life of Claus Spreckels. Afterward, she will sign purchased copies of The Sugar King of California: The Life of Claus Spreckels. Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers. Visit coronadohistory.org or call 619-435-7242 to register.

Autumn Concert Series: Kimmi Bitter
2024-10-18 13:00 - 14:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Library’s Autumn Concert Series takes place on Fridays from September 6 to October 25. Each concert will begin at 1 p.m. in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On October 18 we welcome Kimmi Bitter who is taking the country music scene by storm and won the Song of the Year at the 2024 San Diego Music Awards.

“The future of classic country is Kimmi Bitter,” as Saving Country Music boldly states. Driven by a hyper-obsession for the 1960s, Kimmi Bitter and the Westside Twang create a captivating soundscape that blends golden-era Countrypolitan with psychedelic twangs and a mod flair.
Creating a buzz from her grassroots efforts and vigorous touring, her debut album “Old School” hit the ground running in 2024 landing on the Top 25 Americana Album Radio Chart and has garnered three separate song nominations to date. Tracks like the tear-jerking ballad “My Grass is Blue” have grown comparisons of time when Patsy Cline and The Jordanaires overtook the radio waves. Saving Country Music called it “solid country gold,” nominating it for Single of the Year alongside the likes of Charley Crockett and Sierra Ferrell. Though driving her career independently, she is no stranger to building her accolades.
“Aquamarine” took home Song of the Year at the 2024 San Diego Music Awards alongside fellow nominees Jason Mraz, P.O.D., Slightly Stoopid, and Thee Sacred Souls. Additionally, her breakout album skyrocketed to #1 on the Alt. Country Specialty Charts for four consecutive weeks. She’s a San Diego Music Award winner for Best Country/Americana Artist, with “My Grass is Blue” snagging another Song of the Year nod in 2023. Regarding her live performance, she was notably coined one of the “biggest musical takeaways” at Nashville’s most recent Americanafest.

In the wake of a summer storm, terror descends…David Drayton, his son Billy, and their neighbor Brent Norton join dozens of others and head to the local grocery store to replenish supplies following a freak storm. Once there, they become trapped by a strange mist that has enveloped the town. As the confinement takes its toll on their nerves, a religious zealot, Mrs. Carmody, begins to play on their fears to convince them that this is God’s vengeance for their sins. She insists a sacrifice must be made and two groups—those for and those against—are aligned. Clearly, staying in the store may prove fatal, and the Draytons, along with store employee Ollie Weeks, Amanda Dumfries, Irene Reppler, and Dan Miller, attempt to make their escape. But what’s out there may be worse than what they left behind.
This exhilarating novella explores the horror in both the enemy you know—and the one you can only imagine.
