The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, with Acoustic Evenings originator and presenter Jefferson Jay, will commemorate the 15th anniversary of Acoustic Evenings by recognizing the Athenaeum’s history of leadership by women with a series of concerts driven by women with world-class talent. We will also celebrate our special anniversary with some nods to highlights of our first 15 years, particularly our initial season in fall 2008.

Marie Haddad

 

Singer Marie Haddad has a songwriting and piano style that has been described as “somewhere between Kate Bush and Leonard Cohen” (San Diego Downtown News). Her music has been featured on national television and in several independent films; she performs regularly in San Diego and nationally.

Israel Maldonado

Israel Maldonado has been performing in and around Southern California for more than 25 years. His performances include education, entertainment, and a humble warmth that delights Athenaeum audiences every time. Trained in classical guitar from a young age, he performs a blend of Latin and pop music.

Jimmy Patton & Enrique Platas

 

Guitarist Jimmy Patton and percussionist Enrique Platas incorporate flamenco, Middle Eastern, salsa, calypso, Brazilian, and other world rhythms into their music. Listeners experience virtuosic guitar passages accompanied by exotic percussive rhythms producing a fiery sound.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served.
