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.

Best of the Best Book Club: The Sellout
2024-10-23 11:00 - 12:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
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. Receive reminder emails about our meeting by registering below. Registration is not required.
For our October meeting, we will discuss the 2016 Man Booker Prize winner The Sellout by Paul Beatty, a biting satire that challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality―the black Chinese restaurant.
Place this title on hold via our online catalog, or check out the e-book through the CloudLibrary app.

About The Sellout
Born in the “agrarian ghetto” of Dickens―on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles―the narrator of The Sellout resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: “I’d die in the same bedroom I’d grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that’ve been there since ’68 quake.” Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father’s pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family’s financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that’s left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral.
Fueled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town’s most famous resident―the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins―he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.

Spice It Up, Coronado!
2024-10-25 14:30 - 15:30 | Zoom Meeting
Discover a new favorite spice or herb with Coronado Public Library! Each month, the library invites community members to explore different spices used in dishes around the world. Registrants will pick up the monthly spice/herb selection at the library, cook with it, and join other food enthusiasts to discuss what they made and their thoughts about the spice.

This month, we will explore cooking with celery seeds.
The meeting will be held, on Zoom, on Friday, Oct. 25 at 2:30 p.m. The Zoom link will be emailed the day before we meet. Once registered, participants will receive an email about when they can pick up their sample of spice blend and a couple of recipes. This program is a great way to try new ingredients in your dishes and become a more confident cook in the kitchen!
