Through virtual technology, the arts and culture community of San Diego is continuing to provide entertaining and enlightening content to us that we can access from our homes. This transition to virtual connection with San Diegans is happening across the board, from theater companies to visual arts institutions to music venues. Herbert Siguenza, San Diego Repertory Theatre playwright in residence and a founding member of the comedy troupe Culture Clash, is hosting via the Rep’s website daily at noon his “Lunch Breaks with Herbert Siguenza.”

Sunday’s program at the Museum of Photographic Arts, a tempting buffet of stylish, jazz-inflected bossa nova selections, demonstrated again the laudable versatility of Camarada. A varied collective of many of San Diego’s most skilled performers, Beth Ross Buckley’s Camarada has consistently delivered the goods for the last 25 seasons, whether the fare has been standard repertory classical chamber music, challenging contemporary compositions, jazz, dance, or the music of Latin America.

In this powerful evening of music and art – Camarada Chamber ensemble celebrates the sanctuary of a very special place in Southern California – the Villa Aurora. The Villa Aurora is located in Los Angeles and has been used as a haven for artists of all kinds throughout its existence. It is the former home of the German-Jewish author Lion Feuchtwanger and his wife Marta. Spirit. Struggle. Triumph. celebrates the composers and the story of those who gathered at the Villa Aurora.
