32 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY MAY 15-21, 2025 www.montereycountynow.com Send ideas to calendar@montereycountynow.com HOT PICKS HOME GROWN Monterey Symphony President and CEO Nicola Shangrow Reilly usually welcomes audiences before each performance with remarks, but in the symphony’s final show of the season she’ll be welcomed as the guest violinist playing Tchaikovsky’s haunting piece “Mélodie.” She won’t be the only hometown talent—Conductor Jayce Ogren will be conducting his own composition called “Intertidal,” inspired by murmurations of shorebirds on the Pacific coast. The season closes with what Ogren called “one of the most beloved and powerful pieces of classical music,” Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, featuring the debut of pianist Joyce Yang. It sounds like a rousing end to a successful season. [PM] 7:30pm Saturday, May 17 and 3pm Sunday, May 18. Sunset Center, San Carlos Street and 9th Avenue, Carmel. $45-$88. 646-8511, montereysymphony.org. Sunday, May 18 TREASURE HUNT What mysteries lie in our families’ histories, made all the harder to uncover when family members don’t want to talk about a painful past? The documentary Family Treasures Lost and Found shares the story of one woman who was determined to uncover the secrets of her Jewish family, originally from Poland and Germany. She uses sleuthing skills to uncover the harrowing experiences of her father during the rise of the Nazis and World War II and better understand her family’s journey. This screening includes a dessert reception and conversation with director Marcia Rock and producer and author Karen A. Frenkel after the film. [PM] 7pm Sunday, May 18. Congregation Beth Israel, 5716 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel. $36. 624-2015, carmelbethisrael.org. Monday, May 19 DEEP LISTENING The story starts like this: Three creative people, generations apart and working in different mediums, met under a flowering plum tree in Big Sur during the isolation of the pandemic. They find a sense of connection as humans, and as artists. The result of their collaboration is a trio project called Overlapping Halos, and it is just that—ideas that are distinct but delivered in overlapping form, inviting listeners to tune in to one or all at once. Penny Vieregge recites poetry by Hafiz; Edwin Huizinga improvises on violin; Deva Munay harmonizes the vibrations of crystal singing bowls. The sum total of these sounds is some sort of alchemy, meant to transport listeners during a one-hour performance. [SR] 5-6pm Monday, May 19. Sunset Cultural Center, San Carlos Street at 9th Avenue, Carmel. $12-$88. 646-8511, overlappinghalos.com. Hot Picks by Sloan Campi, Erik Chalhoub, Dave Faries, Celia Jiménez, Pam Marino, Agata Popęda, Katie Rodriguez, Sara Rubin and David Schmalz. Overlapping Halos comprises (from left) violinist Edwin Huizinga, Penny Vieregge reciting poetry by Hafiz, and Deva Munay on singing bowls, together layering sounds and words into a unique, meditative experience.
