World-class virtuoso violinist Jonathan Leviim and pianist Dan You will present “Violin with Love,” a classical concert on Tuesday, May 22, 6 p.m. at Scripps Miramar Ranch Library, 10301 Scripps Lake Drive.

This concert of popular classical violin masterpieces will include musical arrangements by such composers as Bach, Dvorak, Paganini, Massenet, Schubert, Chopin, Gluck, Mozart, Kriesler and Rachmaninoff.

Leviim will demonstrate his great mastery of solo works by Bach and Paganini, music that is structurally and emotionally powerful. Paganini's Caprices reveal the incredible acrobatics that he inflicted upon aspiring violinists, but which Leviim conquers with apparent ease: left hand pizzicato, ricochet arpeggios, double and triple stops, parallel octaves and tenths, and impressively fast scales.

Also included will be all-time favorites such as “The Holy City,” “Argentinian Tango,” “What a Wonderful World,” “You Raise Me Up,” “Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso,” “Somewhere Over The Rainbow,” “Song from Secret Garden,” “The Swan” and “Serenade” by Schubert.

This should be an unforgettable evening for the audience. Many have previously commented at how privileged they feel to attend a concert of this caliber on their doorsteps. It’s not often that such world-class musicians are also Scripps Ranch locals who enjoy sharing their love of music within their community. 

Not only is this musician of the highest caliber, he also brings a unique personality to his performance. Jonathan has a unique ability to connect with his audience, entertaining not only with incredible and masterful technique, but also delighting with his anecdotes and sense of humor.

General admission tickets are $25. For further details see www.eventbrite.com or call (858) 740-4049. Tickets are also available at the door one-hour prior to the concert unless sold out.  

It would seem there is another booth at the Scripps Ranch Farmer's Market selling delectable, hand decorated cupcakes, cookies and other treats. They smell delicious.

But don't take a bite. Those treats are actually handmade bath bombs created to look like edible goodies.

Richard and Megan Lim started 24/7 Soap Store about two years ago and have been selling beautifully-shaped bath bombs and natural soaps mostly on Etsy, but recently brought their products to the Scripps Ranch Farmer's Market.

"It's all handmade — soap and bath bombs. All natural ingredients," Megan said. "We do a lot of party favors, gifts, things for Mother's Day."

The most visually-appealing items are the colorful bath bombs shaped like treats: cupcakes, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, watermelon. There are a few yellow ducks and emojis, as well. They look good enough to eat and they smell wonderful.

Yes, customers have actually tried to take a bite.

"Yeah, we have a 'Do not eat' sign," Megan laughed.

Sure enough, there it is: "Not food. Please do not eat!! These are soaps and bath fizzies."

Megan said the most popular bath bomb is the Neopolitan, which smells like chocolate, strawberry and — cucumber.

Children love the bath bombs, and so do adults.

"It's fun because it's fizzy," Megan explained. "You throw it in your bath tub … It makes your skin feel very smooth."

Key ingredients in most of the bath bombs are coconut oil, some castor oil, shea butter and epsom salt. The combination makes for both a fun and relaxing experience.

They also have a muscle rescue bath bomb that is especially soothing for athletes and physically active customers.

Richard and Megan produce these products from their home. Most items are $5 each.

"We also do special orders," Megan said.

The local band Reminiscence is a trio of high-school boys who formed a rock band that had its humble beginnings in a Scripps Ranch living room. Now, they have made their way to big stages around San Diego, performing classic rock and alternative covers.

Recently, the band has been working on original material and over spring break the members had the chance to start recording their first EP.

Robert Kaechele, who is one of their teachers at Poway High School, is helping them with the recording. Kaechele also happens to be one of the people who helped give one of the most famous bands to ever come out of San Diego its start: Blink-182.

Reminiscence covers classic rock bands like The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Johnny Cash, but the band members really love to play alternative hits from bands like Royal Blood and Highly Suspect, which have influenced the sound of the original music they are working on.

Scripps Ranch resident Ramsey Esparza, 15, plays bass and lead vocals, Hunter Smith, 16, is on lead guitar and supporting vocals, and Tyler Roche, 17, holds the beat on the drums and supporting vocals.

Reminiscence has played a number of live gigs, from small places like Kaminski’s Sports Lounge in Poway to the Lunar New Year Festival at SDCCU Stadium and the Old Town Cinco de Mayo Fiesta, which they will be playing again this year. In January, the band got to play The House of Blues in downtown San Diego, a stage which has hosted big names including one of their favorite bands, Highly Suspect.

The three have known each other since kindergarten and they meet every week at Esparza’s house for band practice.

“We’re all really close,” Esparza said.

Laura Esparza is bass-player Ramsey Esparza’s mother, but all three of the members that make up Reminiscence refer to her fondly as their “mom-ager.” They said she has been pretty instrumental in helping the boys get their first gigs.

“We all have really supportive parents,” Esparza added.

“My mom got me started with guitar lessons when I was five,” Smith explained.

Smith has been playing guitar for well over half of his life and has been taking lessons from the same teacher, Emmanuel Suyao from Poway Music Academy, for more than 11 years.

The trio has been around music all their lives. Esparza will never forget when his father took him to a Motley Crue concert when he was nine years old.

The band’s drummer, Roche, definitely has music in his blood. His grandfather, Howard Blank, is the drummer and founder of San Diego show band The Legends and was the original drummer for The Outsiders in the 1960s, and according to The Legends website he is listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

While the three have a good amount of experience under their belts considering their young ages, it seems like this is only the beginning for the members of Reminiscence.

The band was scheduled to play a show at the Harley Davidson dealership on Morena Boulevard on April 20. They are set to play the Old Town Cinco de Mayo Fiesta on Sunday, May 6, at 11:30 a.m.

Those interested can follow their musical journey on their Facebook page where they post about upcoming shows and new material: facebook.com/Reminiscencethree/.

This is the last weekend to see the Scripps Ranch Theatre’s production of “Baskerville.” Originally published by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1902, “The Hound of the Baskervilles” is one of the most well-known stories featuring the famous Sherlock Holmes.
