| 7:00 PM | Music: Daneen Wilburn In 2026, the Intersections Concert Series explores Soundscapes of Identity and Connection, bringing audiences together through music, culture, heritage, and storytelling. The season explores how music connects generations and communities across cultures, geography, and time. The season opens with Daneen Wilburn, one of San Diego’s most compelling vocalists, in Songs of Grace and Resilience. Known for her powerful voice and deeply personal performances, Wilburn blends gospel, jazz, blues, and soul with heartfelt storytelling and spiritual expression. Raised in a musical family and performing since childhood, Wilburn gained national attention singing alongside legendary gospel artists at the Hollywood Bowl before stepping away from music to raise her family. Her return to the stage has established her as a celebrated San Diego artist. Her acclaimed a cappella performance of Amazing Grace at Tony Gwynn’s memorial at Petco Park, attended by more than 25,000 people, remains one of the city’s most memorable musical moments. Wilburn will be joined by Grammy Award-winning producer, composer, educator, and UC San Diego Teaching Professor Kamau Kenyatta, who will moderate conversations throughout the evening. As the producer of Wilburn’s debut recording and a longtime collaborator, Kenyatta offers insight into the musical traditions, experiences, and influences behind her artistry. Together, Wilburn and Kenyatta create an evening that combines live music and conversation, inviting audiences to experience music as memory, testimony, and shared humanity. Songs of Grace and Resilience opens the Intersections season with a powerful celebration of identity, heritage, resilience, and the ability of music to bring communities together.

| 8:00 PM | Stage: The Phantom of the Opera The Phantom is back to thrill audiences once again! Cameron Mackintosh presents a revitalized new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, featuring Maria Björnson’s brilliant original design and based on the celebrated direction of Harold Prince, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne. The new PHANTOM OF THE OPERA North American tour comes to the Civic Theatre in San Diego September 2-13, 2026 Now entering its 40th year in London’s West End, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is widely considered one of the world’s most beautiful and spectacular musicals. Since 1986, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has become a global phenomenon, with productions playing to 160 million people in 217 cities, 52 territories and in 23 languages. Lloyd Webber’s celebrated romantic and soaring score includes “The Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” “Masquerade” and the iconic title song. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the story of Christine Daaé, a young soprano whose extraordinary voice enchants a mysterious masked figure known as The Phantom. A brilliant yet tormented musical genius, The Phantom dwells in the depths of the Paris Opera House, casting fear over all who inhabit it. Drawn to Christine’s sensational talent, The Phantom becomes her mentor, believing she alone can truly bring his music to life, and as he guides her from the shadows, he falls deeply and dangerously in love. When Christine is reunited with her childhood sweetheart, Raoul, now the young patron of the Opera House, she has to wrestle with the unpredictable nature of a powerful love triangle. The Phantom’s obsession with his new star sets off a dramatic turn of events where devotion, jealousy and passions collide.

| 10:00 AM | Talk: The UAE and the New Middle East The Middle East is undergoing one of the most significant geopolitical transformations in decades, shaped by regional conflicts, shifting alliances, and the emergence of a more multipolar world. At the center of these changes is the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a nation that has emerged as one of the region's most influential middle powers through its economic strength, diplomatic engagement, and increasingly independent foreign policy. This program explores how Abu Dhabi is navigating evolving relationships with the United States, China, India, Russia, and its Gulf neighbors while balancing competing strategic interests. From the Abraham Accords to its evolving role in regional security and energy policy, the UAE has demonstrated a pragmatic approach that reflects both growing geopolitical ambition and a desire for greater strategic autonomy. Join us as we examine how the UAE is shaping the future of the Gulf and the broader Middle East—and what its evolving role means for regional stability, global power competition, and the future of international diplomacy.

Each bike carries with it the legacy of those who built, rode, and shared it, embodying the values that continue to sustain lowrider culture today. This exhibition brings together a display of lowrider bikes, contemporary artists, photographers, and special contributions of archival photo collections from local San Diego bike club chapters. Chrome and "Candy Dreams" honors the living heritage of the lowrider bike as a powerful rite of passage for generations of youth.

| 5:00 PM | Exhibit: Blood Memory Blood Memory is a major exhibition that examines how ancestral knowledge and cultural memory continue to shape the present through contemporary art practices. The exhibition centers the work of regional artists from Native nations and Indigenous communities who consider how ancestral knowledge and lived experience are passed on across generations. Through installation, painting, sculpture, film, photography, fashion, and design, the exhibition presents inheritance as an active and sometimes unsettled process. Histories may be preserved, questioned, reclaimed, or understood anew. The exhibition takes its title from a term developed across the writing of Kiowa author N. Scott Momaday. In his work, memory can extend beyond the limits of an individual life. It may emerge in an intuitive recognition of place, in an ancestral story felt with the force of personal memory, or through relationships sustained by language, oral tradition, imagination, and land. The artists in Blood Memory direct attention toward these forms of inheritance, and investigate how the past remains present in the body, in materials and images, and in the choices artists make now.

| 8:00 PM | Music: A.Chal A.CHAL is the musical project of Alejandro Salazar, a singer, songwriter, and producer born in Peru and raised between Queens, New York, and Massachusetts. His sound was shaped by alternative R&B, trap, atmospheric hip hop, and a psychedelic sensibility that has always placed him outside traditional molds. In recent years, A.CHAL has entered a deeper and more personal chapter: a direct reconnection with his Peruvian identity, his spirituality, and the popular sounds that shaped his origins. His current universe blends the street, migration, desire, roots, and mysticism, creating a body of work that moves naturally between the global and the deeply Latin American. Today, A.CHAL is experiencing one of the most honest and well-defined moments of his career. Rather than trying to fit into the mainstream, he is creating his own language from displacement, memory, and Peruvian pride. In May 2026, Rolling Stone en Español described him as an artist who has transformed the experience of living between worlds into a unique sonic identity, shaped by cumbia, chicha, and his roots.

Drawing from world mythology, Yoruba beliefs, Jungian psychology, Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ “Wild Woman” archetype and the vibrant rhythms of Brazil, the performance uses movement as a way to honor the past, express the present and connect with something deeper. More than a celebration of culture, this work is a personal journey. It explores how dance can help us navigate life’s biggest challenges and reconnect with our inner strength. Through themes of femininity, grief, motherhood, empowerment and healing, it invites audiences to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit and our ability to grow, heal and begin again.

| 5:30 PM | Talk: Immigration, Belonging, and the Constitution It’s convenient but misleading to talk about a constitution as if it governed a closed group of citizens. In this age of migration, the arrival of newcomers and their becoming residents complicate the essential question of “who belongs?” And what is the Constitution’s role in this inquiry? Drawing on the conceptual framework in his recent book, "Borders and Belonging," Professor Motomura will offer answers to these questions.

| Film: The Taste of Tea The pristine image of the Japanese family is turned on its uber-polite head with surreal aplomb in this far out collection of hilarious vignettes. Set in the languid countryside, mom is an eccentric artist who eschews household chores for an animation project with occasional help from crazy grandpa. Meanwhile dad is just your everyday hypnotherapist. Their teenaged son suffers from hangups about the opposite sex while his little sister must contend with a doppelganger. Uncle is a groovy music producer on a respite whose ghostly past experiences still haunt him. Maverick director Katsuhito Ishii (who created the animated sequence in Kill Bill: Volume 1) pulled out all the stops for this endearing outré take on the Japanese psyche. Replete with non-stop irreverent gags, anime digressions, musical numbers and candy-coated lysergic passages, The Taste of Tea is, “a true delight that elevates feel-good cinema to a whole new level and charms from start to finish.” Presented in a new HD master supervised by the director.

| 7:30 PM | Book Talk: Fallen for France An exquisite Arabian mare. A small boy leaving home. A young woman in France fighting to survive. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ride of Her Life braids a sweeping novel of love, war, empire, and the power of kindness in a world descending into darkness. Beddou is six years old when he is sent off to apprentice far from his High Atlas village in Morocco. His mother gives him six amber beads to help him find his way home. That same month, a magnificent filly is born in Fes, in the splendor of the Sultan's palace. For a brief, golden time, the mare belongs to the boy. But Beddou's heart is broken when a soldier steals his horse and disappears into France just as the Great War roars to a start. Finding her seems impossible, but he vows to try. Estelle, a young woman in France, finds a distressed Arabian mare wandering alone in the meadow behind her house. She is determined to look after this radiant creature just as tenderly as she cares for her vulnerable younger brother. But soon her world is torn apart, and she loses both the horse and her brother. She will spend the rest of the war searching for both. Thomas is an Englishman hardened by his experience as a wartime veterinarian in France. He finds the mare and promises to protect her—and the woman who once loved her—but he doubts his own ability to keep anyone safe. As the pathways of the unforgettable mare and the boy's desperate search intertwine, the separate strands of these strangers' journeys converge, propelling them to make momentous choices that will change the course of their lives. Spanning Morocco and France in the shadow of World War I, Fallen for France follows unforgettable characters whose lives are bound by a magnificent horse and a string of amber beads.

| Italian Film Festival: Napoli New York 1949. Naples lies in ruins after the devastation of WWII. Young Carmine and Celestina try to survive as best they can. One night, the pair find themselves caught on a ship as it is departing, leaving them to New York, and needing to dodge the attention of the vessel’s captain. Eventually reaching the unknown metropolis, Carmine and Celestina must quickly find a way to adapt to their new surroundings, and set out to find Celestina’s older sister who emigrated years earlier... Based on a rediscovered screenplay by maestro Federico Fellini and Tullio Pinelli, written together 80 years ago as young aspiring filmmakers long before the two collaborated on La Strada and La dolce vita, this is a compelling and hopeful coming-of-age story about the duality of dreams and disillusionment, the search for identity and the pursuit of a better life.
In Italian with English subtitles.
