Thursday After Hours at OMCA | Diana Gameros w/ Patrick Wolff

Thursday After Hours at OMCA | Pop-Up Performance: Diana Gameros w/ Patrick Wolff and Gallery Chats

Adults 18+

This Thursday the Gallery of California History will come alive with can’t-miss pop-up performances by Diana Gameros (voice and guitar) accompanied by Patrick Wolff (clarinet and tenor sax) as they play original songs and tunes from Mexico and beyond. In between performances, OMCA’s award-winning galleries, along with Town Fare Café, will be open for guests to explore and enjoy delectable bites, beverages, and music by DJ DiVita.

In addition to a dynamic event experience, every Thursday After Hours also offers guests a well-rounded gallery experience with Gallery Chats. Unlike the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invites visitors to chat, ask questions, and connect with our OMCA facilitators who combine content knowledge with lived experience to encourage meaningful dialogue and fresh interpretations of our galleries. Gallery Chats take place in our Special Exhibitions and our Galleries of California Art, History, and Natural Sciences. Gallery Chats and Thursday After Hours programming are included with the price of general Museum admission for guests, and totally free for Museum Members. Town Fare Café will be open to visitors until 8 pm.

The OMCA garage will be open until 9 pm on Thursdays Jan 9—Mar 27.

About Diana Gameros:

Diana Gameros, a singer, songwriter, and composer, was born and raised in Juárez, México and immigrated to the United States as a teenager. Over the last decade in the Bay Area Diana has released two albums of original songs written in Spanish and English and has been highlighted often by NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series, and a documentary film about her was released by KQED in 2020. Her music tells stories of family, migration, and home, and has led her to perform with other prominent performers such as Joan Baez, Natalia Lafourcade, and the San Francisco Symphony. Diana received the 2023 Music Award Grant from the Gerbode Foundation to record a new album at Women’s Audio Mission studio in San Francisco to be released in 2025.

Accompanying Diana this evening will be Patrick Wolff on clarinet and saxophone.
