Many Things Make a Post

Found in my in-box:

• Vallejo's Empress Theater will have a summer art camp in July with sessions for ages 5-6 ($175) and 7-12 ($450). The theme is Legends of the Earth: A Mythical Adventure for Eco-Warriors. Dates are July 16-26, 2024. Financial aid is available. The application process starts on this web page.
• Ojai Musical Festival has announced its 2025 music director: it's the astonishing flutist Claire Chase. Dates for Ojai 2025 are June 5-8, meaning that it overlaps with one of Esa-Pekka Salonen's last concerts as San Francisco Symphony music director.
• Merola Opera's 2024 season has been announced and tickets are available now. There's a recital called The Song as Drama, there's a production of Don Giovanni (directed by Patricia Racette!), there's the summer Schwabacher recital, there's the Grand Finale. Hear the stars of tomorrow today! The Merola season opens on June 27 and runs through August 17.
• The Kronos Festival is in June, running from June 20-23, 2024, at SFJAZZ. It should be amazing. Tickets: $25–75, available at sfjazz.org or 866-920-5299. Violinist John Sherba and violist Hank Dutt are retiring at the end of the season, after decades with Kronos; catch them while you can.
