SUMMARY:History of San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Once home to the notorious Stingaree district\, San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter has transformed from a rowdy red-light zone into a vibrant\, historic hub of culture\, architecture\, and commerce. Join the Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation as they trace the area’s evolution—from its Wild West beginnings and waterfront vice to its Victorian revival and present-day status as a National Historic District. Discover the stories behind the brick sidewalks\, gas lamps\, and preserved buildings that now shape one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods. \n\nThe Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation (GQHF) is dedicated to preserving the architecture\, culture and history of the Gaslamp Quarter\, a 16 ½-block area designated as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. \nThrough museum exhibits\, tours\, festivals and educational programs for children and adults\, the GQHF opens a window to the past by depicting the historical development of downtown San Diego since 1850. \nThe Foundation operates from the oldest standing residence in the Gaslamp Quarter\, the Davis-Horton House Museum\, a repository of artifacts\, photos and archives that we preserve for residents and visitors from around the world to enjoy. \nFounded in 1981 as a nonprofit corporation and recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt entity\, the Foundation is led by an active Board of Directors that provides vision and leadership\, sets policy and oversees the organization’s financial health. A professional staff led by an Executive Director carries out board policies and  manages the day-to-day operations of the Foundation and the Museum.

SUMMARY:Workshop: A Day in the Life of an Opera Singer
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered why some singers are universally loved\, and what makes their voices so captivating? Or\, perhaps you’ve wondered whether you could learn to develop your own voice. Find out on Wednesday\, August 27\, at 11 am in the Winn Room\, in a journey into the extraordinary world of professional singing with soprano Gabriella Rodmac. Sponsored by the Cultural Arts Commission and Coronado Public Library\, the event is free and open to the public. \nAugust 16\, 2025. Gabriella Rodmac performed in “An Operatic Tribute” in the Winn Room. Photo by Dawn Richards\nGabriella\, who divides her work between Italy and San Diego\, first wowed Coronado audiences three years ago with a Valentine’s Day concert\, “Seasons of Love\,” at the Spreckels Center\, followed by last year’s solo performance of an “Operatic Tribute to Tosti” in the Winn Room. Last week\, she again filled the Winn Room’s Summer Festival Concert with “An Afternoon of Opera.” \nSoprano Gabriella Rodmac performs in the Winn Room’s Summer Concert Series. Photo by Dawn Richards\nOf course\, each person’s voice and musical preference is unique. The field of music psychology explores the many factors influencing how music is perceived\, performed\, and responded to. For example\, genre preferences can be shaped by one’s geographical region\, cultural background\, and personality traits\, such as being an introvert or extrovert. People may connect with music that resonates with their personal experiences or evokes significant memories. An evocative ballad can draw us into the song\, creating a “narrative transportation\,” where we feel personally involved in the story. \nA singer’s particular voice brings yet another dimension to listeners’ appeal. As a follow-up to last week’s concert\, Rodmac is presenting the 60-minute interactive workshop for audiences to discover why vocalists like Luciano Pavarotti\, Maria Callas\, and Frank Sinatra continue to move audiences decades after their performances. \nAs she explains\, it’s “both the objective technical standards and subjective artistry that make each singer unique\, proving that while vocal training is a precise science\, great singing remains beautifully\, mysteriously human.” \nThe soprano will also provide a glimpse into the daily life of an opera singer\, showing what it takes to transform the human voice into a “superhuman instrument capable of filling opera houses without amplification.” She’ll dish on daily vocal exercises\, along with warm-ups and wind-downs for pre- and post performances\, plus the linguistic mastery and athletic discipline required to run through grueling opera productions. Listening to comparisons will help participants develop their ear and learn to distinguish between good and great voices. Then\, those who are serious about singing will have the chance to participate in a few professional vocal warm-ups and perhaps even try a snippet of a song together\, followed by professional tips on how to develop their own singing abilities. And for those not quite ready for using their own voices\, they have the option to simply sit back\, listen\, and enjoy. \nYou won’t want to miss this unusual and engaging workshop. As Gabriella assures us\, “No musical background required—just bring your curiosity!” \nWritten by Dawn Richards
