WHAT’S COMING UP


Rotary Club of San Jose presents
Leigh Weimers Emerging Artists Awards
The Leigh Weimers Emerging Artists Awards, a program of the Rotary Club of San Jose, recognizes and supports emerging local artists in various disciplines with unrestricted cash grants. The awards honor the late Leigh Weimers, a Rotary Club member and Mercury News columnist, who championed the arts. Join us to celebrate the 2024 Leigh Weimers Emerging Artists Awards and be inspired when the winners share their art through performances or discussions.


Hammer presents
National Theatre Live: Frankenstein (Benedict Cumberbatch as Creature)
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
A note about NTLive: THIS IS NOT A LIVE PERFORMANCE


San Jose Metropolitan Band and San Francisco Brass Band present
BANDthology
Get ready—BANDthology is back! This year, two of the Bay Area’s top community ensembles join forces to bring you a concert packed with energy, imagination, and heart. The San Jose Metropolitan Band, led by Ken Nakamoto, invites audiences into a world of Mystique and Whimsy, while the San Francisco Brass Band, led by Dr. Jeff DeSeriere, takes you on a bold musical journey Towards the Light…. exploring music that rises from shadow to brilliance.
From soaring brass fanfares to playful surprises, this year’s BANDthology is a celebration of music’s power to enchant, inspire, and uplift.
