HEADLINES

SEAPAL will interrupt water service today in colonia Lázaro Cárdenas due to a new pipe connection. Service will be restored by 9 pm. https://www.facebook.com/SeapalVallartaOficial/posts/pfbid02YQeKHwEWodYNLX3yPbAfipR8Q4Vy3VS1Mst738pd24P1NDSPMZdboJQo4dvvZ6L2l

Local paper reports on complaints along Medina Ascencio lateral road (and we know it will be redone in a matter of weeks). https://www.noticiaspv.com.mx/empeoran-laterales-en-avenida-de-ingreso/

Other complaints have been submitted about mud and branches in parts of Versalles and Díaz Ordaz. https://www.noticiaspv.com.mx/arboles-cortados-y-hojarasca-regada-en-la-diaz-ordaz/

Food for thought: 500+ trees were uprooted by Hurricane Lidia. There are 800 city workers involved in clearing debris throughout the city. A little patience goes a long way. https://tribunadelabahia.com.mx/500-arboles-derribo-lidia-vallarta/

STRINGS ATTACHED: ESSENTIAL VIOLIN CONCERTOS

The violin has been called the instrument that most closely resembles the human voice — capable of singing, crying, soaring, and dazzling with virtuosity. But what makes certain violin concertos stand out as timeless masterpieces? In this music appreciation evening, we’ll journey through ten of the greatest violin concertos ever written. From Beethoven’s noble and expansive Violin Concerto in D, to Tchaikovsky’s fiery and passionate Concerto in D Major, to Barber’s lushly lyrical American treasure — and many gems in between — we’ll discover how composers have used the violin to capture the full spectrum of human expression.
