Jane Austen and Christmas go hand-in-hand, like ornaments and trees or Santa and Rudolph.

What did our critic think of THE LA JOLLA MUSIC SOCIETY PRESENTS THE SPANISH HARLEM ORCHESTRA at The Conrad? The La Jolla Music Society has featured exceptional musicians in many genres over the years. Best known for staging classical concerts, since the opening of its intimate home at the Conrad the Society has also welcomed an outstanding variety of some of the best in dance, opera, jazz, and world music. The Spanish Harlem Orchestra, winner of three Grammys, is the latest example of the latter. The band is celebrating 25 years of success as an exponent of “hardcore” salsa both in its recordings and at live concerts. Pianist, leader and arranger Oscar Hernandez has a fourth Grammy for a quintet album and has worked with dozens of well-known Latin musicians over the years including Ray Barreto, Tito Puente, Rubén Blades and Celia Cruz.

The National Theatre has announced that Gwilym Lee will play former England manager Gareth Southgate in the return of James Graham’s production of Dear England at the Olivier Theatre.
