For 24 years, the Athenaeum has presented unforgettable festivals featuring Gustavo Romero performing the complete piano repertoire of a specific composer. Whether you have been with us all 24 years or have yet to experience the wonder of this artist—who plays from memory—you will not want to miss our upcoming 25th Summer Festival. Romero, a native San Diegan, with a heritage in Guadalajara, first performed at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library as a young boy, and it was with him that the Athenaeum planned its first Summer Festival in 1999, the organization’s 100th anniversary. Each year, Romero chooses composers to study in depth, sharing the full range of their artistry. This summer he has selected the works of FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN.
Sundays, July 7, 14, 21 & 28, 2024
Dinners will be offered at the Athenaeum after the first and last concerts (July 7 and 28), providing an opportunity for concertgoers to socialize, meet Mr. Romero, and share a delicious meal. All concerts begin at 4 PM at the Athenaeum.
