In conjunction with San Diego Repertory Theatre, the Three Yiddish Divas—Elizabeth Schwartz, Debby Davis, and Kathy Robbins—return with songs of love and longing from around the world as part of the 23rd annual Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival. Each acclaimed singer is well known to festival and San Diego audiences. Soulful and earthy Elizabeth Schwartz is the lead singer for Hot Pstromi. Debby Davis, with a Yiddish theatre flair, is the lead singer of 2nd Avenue Klezmer. Kathy Robbins, founding cantor of Temple Sollel, evokes folk-rock political passion. Expect beautiful and lively songs from this SD Jewish super-group in the world’s great romance languages of French, Italian, Spanish, Ladino—and Yiddish!

Love Letters In Metal: Jewelry By Svetozar And Ruth Radakovich
Svetozar (Toza) and Ruth Radakovich created some of the most exquisite, unique, and recognizable pieces of mid century American jewelry. Their designs have left a lasting impression on the modern design and studio jewelry movement. Radakovich jewelry is exceptionally rare, whereas many studio jewelers created a design and produced hundreds of examples, the Radakoviches were known for creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces which took inordinate amounts of time to perfect and complete. This exhibition is a narrative of their interwoven personal and professional lives—a long journey across continents and wars during which they found ways to speak words of love to each other through their art.

Sacra/Profana Concert
It’s all about connections for professional vocal ensemble Sacra/Profana. The local choir will present Local Connections, a chance to experience choral music that has its roots in San Diego with connections to some of the biggest names in music. Many may already know that Bing Crosby, George Harrison, Jason Mraz, and Eddie Vedder all once called San Diego home, but did you know that Robert Shaw served as music director of the San Diego Symphony, or that Benjamin Britten resided in Escondido while fleeing the violence of World War II? All of the composers in this carefully crafted program have local ties (some more widely known than others) to America’s Finest City. In addition to Shaw and Britten, other composers with local ties include Matt McBane, founder and director of the Carlsbad Music Festival and staple in the San Diego musical landscape; David Ward-Steinman, who was a professor at SDSU; Jason Rosenberg, who received his Ph.D. from UCSD; San Diego native Bradley Nelson, and many others. OMA members can purchase their tickets for a discount below. Visitors should click here to purchase directly from Sacra/Profana.
