SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

These four talented vocalists and instrumentalists follow their creative desires without straying too far from their roots. \n3pm.

SUMMARY:Lysander Piano Trio
DESCRIPTION:The incredible Lysander Piano Trio\, known for their “polished and spirited interpretations” (New York Times)\, will continue our 59th Season at Sunset Center on January 10\, 2026. The Lysander has spent over a decade performing around the United States\, with more than 100 highly-acclaimed appearances at notable venues. They are now performing for the first time in Chamber Music Monterey Bay’s concert series. Lauded by The Strad as exhibiting “[i]ncredible ensemble\, passionate playing\, articulate and imaginative ideas and a wide palette of colors\,” we are thrilled to introduce this exciting ensemble to our Peninsula audience. \nChamber Music Monterey Bay shares the Trio’s dedication to inventive programming\, finding connections between works from all over the world\, and uncovering lesser-known gems of the repertoire from the past to the present. The program will include piano trios by Udi Perlman (a Lysander commission)\, MieczysławWeinberg\, and Antonín Dvořák. \nThe Lysander ensemble displays what the Washington Post termed “an uncommon degree of heart-on-the-sleeve emotional frankness” – a quality Chamber Music Monterey Bay’s season artists are known for. We hope you will join us in welcoming them at their first appearance in Carmel.

SUMMARY:New Monarch Butterfly Documentary to Screen at Pacific Grove Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History has been studying numbers of Western monarch butterflies since 1997\, and that work\, along with work of other organizations\, is featured in a new full-length documentary by filmmaker Ian A. Nelson. Screening at the Museum on January 16 the film\, titled Western Monarch Butterflies: Protecting Our Pollinators\, follows the work of conservation organizations attempting to save this beloved and beleaguered invertebrate who scientists say have lost over 95% of their historic populations. \n“The main takeaway from this film is that small actions can have a large impact\, especially when we choose to act together.” says Nelson\, “I hope viewers feel encouraged to create habitat for monarchs and other pollinators in their backyards and to get involved in conservation efforts working to protect these spaces on a larger scale.” \nThe film follows monarchs over the course of a year\, interweaving their life cycle with the human efforts supporting them along their migratory journey. The result is a layered portrayal of the interconnectedness of humans and monarchs that demonstrates our reliance on each other and ways in which humans can help the ecosystems they are part of. \nThe screening will take place Friday\, January 16\, from 5:30-7:30pm and will feature a Q&A with Ian after the 70-minute film has completed. All purchases from tickets sold will benefit monarch conservation\, and Museum Members of all levels will receive a discounted admission price.

Naturalists of this era began a national tradition of hands-on science education and nature preservation\, a tradition the Museum has continued for over 140 years. The Museum’s mission is to inspire discovery\, wonder\, and stewardship of our cultural and natural world. The Museum supports conservation\, scientific literacy\, co-curation\, and deep learning towards a resilient community and sustainable future. Their work is made possible\, in part\, by the following generous donors: American Water Charitable Foundation\, City of Pacific Grove\, Community Foundation for Monterey County\, Harden Foundation\, Helen Johnson Endowment Funds\, Monterey Peninsula Foundation\, and Shelby Cullom Davis Charitable Fund. The Museum is open to the public Wednesday-Sunday\, 10am-4pm. For more information visit www.pgmuseum.org.
