THE ATHENAEUM’S 25th ANNUAL SUMMER FESTIVAL
2024 GUSTAVO ROMERO PLAYS
Frédéric Chopin
Sundays, July 7, 14, 21 & 28, 2024
We are pleased to announce the dates for the 25th Athenaeum Summer Festival, a series of four concerts that will feature pianist Gustavo Romero.
For 24 years, the Athenaeum has presented unforgettable festivals featuring virtuoso pianist and San Diego native 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, 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.
Dinners will be offered at the Athenaeum after the first and last concerts providing an opportunity for concertgoers to socialize, meet Mr. Romero, and share a delicious meal. All concerts begin at 4 PM at the Athenaeum. Priority seating will be given to Donor level members and above, and to dinner guests.
