Autumn Concert Series: Robert Wetzel
2025-10-31 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Library’s Autumn Concert Series takes place on Fridays from September 5 to October 31. Each concert will begin at 1 pm in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On October 31, we will have Robert Wetzel on guitar, performing Guitar Fantasy Through the Centuries.

Robert Wetzel was born of Dutch and Indonesian lineage. He started playing piano at age eight, acoustic steel-string guitar and electric guitar at age eleven, and then he began serious study of the classical guitar at age fifteen which changed his life forever. In 1972, he began several years of private classical guitar studies with Spanish guitar virtuoso, Angel Romero, followed later by private guitar studies with guitar maestros Celedonio Romero, Pepe Romero and Celin Romero. He still considers himself a disciple of the Romero family of master guitarists, and often states, “the master-disciple relationship is a lifelong affair.” Wetzel frequently performs as a soloist and with orchestral and chamber music groups. He is also the founding member of the award-winning Odeum Guitar Duo, that was established in 1994 with his well-known guitarist duo colleague, Fred Benedetti. Their second Odeum Guitar Duo CD, entitled Forgotten Romance, was officially chosen by NASA in 2016 to fly aboard the final flight of the United States Space Shuttle, THE ENDEAVOR, Mission STS-134, to the International Space Station launched on May 16, 2011, and the CD travelled there and back with additional orbits around the earth to complete mission objectives for a total of 6.5 million miles! Robert resides in San Diego County, where over the years he has been or presently is teaching the art of playing the guitar while on the musical faculties of Point Loma Nazarene University, University of California San Diego Extended Studies, SDSU, Cuyamaca College, Grossmont College, Southwestern College, Palomar College and Mesa College. He also teaches private guitar students online all over the world via video platforms. FANFARE Magazine described his guitar playing as, “…truly magical…realized the piece’s inherent fire…projection of instrumental color…delightful…”

Delta Beach before the 2022 cleanup.
Emerald Keepers will be helping to clean the northern end of Delta Beach in support of Naval Base Coronado’s Environmental Team.
Delta Beach, on the bay side of Silver Strand, just south of the Naval Amphibious Base is on Navy land. This stretch of coastline has been designated as a critical habitat for the western snowy plover and the California least tern. The western snowy plover is listed as threatened and the California least tern is listed as endangered under the Federal Endangered Species Act.
This cleanup has been scheduled after least tern nesting season, which runs April through September. This is an opportunity to see a beach normally closed to human activity, while cleaning up a habitat for vulnerable species and keeping trash out of the San Diego Bay to protect marine animals.
Directions: From Coronado, head south on state Route 75 for 2.4 miles. Make a U-turn at the Fiddlers Cove Marina and RV park (Note: There is no sign or traffic light, but it’s the first left turn lane south of the Naval Amphibious Base). Head back north for about 1 mile and look for the Emerald Keepers flag by the north gate for Delta Beach. Drive carefully across the bike path and park on the sand inside the fence line.
Bring buckets, gloves, and pickers if you have them. Questions? Contact info@emeraldkeepers.org

This show is written expressly for children and is 45-50 minutes in length.

A Very Special Christmas Tree
Deep in the forest where the fairies dwell, a little pine tree grows among her lush and lofty neighbors. Her branches droop, her needles are sparse, and every other tree towers above her. Her greatest wish is to grow taller and stronger, so she will be chosen to stand in a special place for the Christmas season.
After every other tree finds a glorious home for the holiday, the little tree is disappointed to find where she has been taken.
But with the help of a kind man and a wise angel, the little tree discovers the true spirit of Christmas and that her greatest wish has come true.

Exhibit Opening Reception & Lecture: Bitter Sweet with Kitty Morse
2025-11-06 17:30 - 19:00
CHA is proud to announce the opening of its newest WWII exhibit. In honor of this exhibit, join us Thursday, November 6, for an exhibit opening reception and lecture featuring author Kitty Morse. Kitty will discuss her new book, Bitter Sweet: A Wartime Journal and Heirloom Recipes from Occupied France. This book was written after she discovered her great-grandfather’s journal chronicling the advance of the Germans in Le Grand Est (Alsace-Lorraine) between April and December 1940, and two notebooks filled with recipes written in her great-grandmother’s hand in a suitcase left to her by her mother. Bitter Sweet takes place in and around her mother’s birthplace, Châlons-sur-Marne (now Châlons-en-Champagne). Blanche Lévy-Neymarck, Morse’s maternal great-grandmother, died at Auschwitz in 1944 along with one of her daughters and her son-in-law. Blanche’s husband Prosper, an army surgeon in WWI, was twice the recipient of the Légion d’Honneur. This book is not just the story of a family torn apart by war, but it also features 70 unique recipes that show the rich history of a family.
On Thursday, November 6, a wine & cheese reception at 5:30 pm will be followed by the lecture from 6 to 7 pm.
Tickets are available now

About the Speaker: Award-winning author Kitty Morse was born in Casablanca, Morocco, to a French mother and a British father. She emigrated to the United States at the age of 17. While studying for her master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Kitty catered Moroccan diffas, or banquets, and went on to teach the intricacies of Moroccan cuisine in cooking schools and department stores nationwide. In June 2002, she conducted a Culinary Concert on Moroccan culture and cuisine hosted by Julia Child, as a benefit for the Harry Bell Foundation of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Kitty’s books have been translated into French, German, Polish, and Czech.

2025-11-16 15:00 | Resurrection Lutheran Church, 1111 5th St, Coronado, CA 92118, USA, 301 5th St, United States
Described as “virtuosic and exhilarating, passionate and deeply moving,” the first performance of Coronado’s newest chamber concert series, Music on Fifth, was a standout success. Continuing the trend, its second performance on Sunday, November 16 at 3 pm, promises more excitement with compositions by Handel, Astor Piazzolla, Fritz Kreisler, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Alfred Schnittke. Located at Coronado’s Resurrection Lutheran Church, 1111 5th St., the concert is free, though donations are appreciated.
The brainchild of Musica Vitale’s founder and Music Director, Elena Vizuet, the series consists of vocalists from Musica Vitale, Coronado’s only professional vocal ensemble.
Accompanying the vocalists will be the Ghukasyan String orchestra from Ensenada, led by founder and first violinist Nonna Alakhverdova, violin professor at the Autonomous Ensenada University, Baja California. Rounding up the ensemble are pianist Olena Galytska, second violinist Eric Ghukasyan, and cellist Ruben Ghukasyan.

Everyone A Reader volunteer training
2025-11-17 09:00 - 10:00 | Coronado Unified School District, 201 Sixth Street, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Unified School District is excited to bring back the Everyone A Reader (EAR) program, a countywide initiative that began in 1995. EAR volunteers are specially trained to provide one-to-one reading support to students in grades 1-3 who need extra reading support.
Both Village and Silver Strand Elementary Schools have had EAR programs in the past, but the program has been paused since the pandemic.
“We are excited to bring this program back to our schools,” said Senior Director of Learning Dr. Megan Battle. “It’s a proven and effective way to help students build reading skills and confidence, and it also supports teachers by giving students the extra attention they need.”
The benefits of EAR reach both students and volunteers. Students gain valuable skills and build confidence, which can lead to success in later grades. For volunteers, it’s a meaningful opportunity to make a tangible difference in a child’s life while also building connections in the community.
To participate, volunteers must complete a training session before working with students. CUSD is hosting a one hour workshop on Monday, Nov. 17, 9-10 am in the District Office, 201 Sixth Street. Volunteers must also have a CUSD volunteer clearance including Livescan Fingerprint. The district will reimburse up to $50 for the cost of fingerprinting, which can be used for all volunteering in the district for a lifetime.
“We welcome all community members, even without students in school, to participate in this rewarding program. Some of our best volunteers are grandparents!” said Dr. Battle.
Volunteers will coordinate directly with teachers to set schedules that work best for them.
If you are passionate about reading and want to make a positive impact, this is a wonderful way to get involved.
