Coastal Roots Hospitality

Picking up dinner this holiday season can help keep Central Coast children with family. Through Coastal Roots Hospitality's Pick It Up – Pay It Forward program, 10 percent of every to-go order from Montrio, Tarpy's and Rio Grill from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 goes to Seneca Family of Agencies, which many still know as Kinship Center. Seneca stands beside foster and adoptive families and the grandparents, aunts and uncles who take in a relative's child, often with little notice. Since 2020, the program has donated more than $450,000 to local nonprofits, one takeout order at a time. Order by phone or online.

Ami Carmel

A child who walks into class in the right uniform walks in feeling like they belong. For more than 30 years, the volunteers of the Assistance League of San Jose have made that happen through Operation School Bell, which started with a $1,500 budget and now delivers tens of thousands of pieces of new clothing to students each year.
This Giving Tuesday, Ami Carmel is celebrating them. On Tuesday, Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 20% of every purchase in the shop, and online at amicarmel.com all day, goes to the Assistance League of San Jose. Guests who stop by between 10 and 11 a.m. can meet the League's volunteers over homemade cookies and hot chocolate.
The day is part of Ami Carmel's Sip, Shop, Savor &amp; Support series, which pairs the shop with a different nonprofit each month. Find scarves, serveware, home décor and gifts from local artists, and let your holiday shopping do some good.
Ami Carmel, Dolores Street, 5 SE of Fifth Avenue, Carmel-by-the-Sea. Free to attend. amicarmel.com, <a href="tel:+18316201600">(831) 620-1600</a>.

Sunset Center

The Miró Quartet is one of America's most celebrated string quartets, praised as "furiously committed" by The New Yorker and recognized for its "exceptional tonal focus and interpretive intensity" by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A favorite of Chamber Music Monterey Bay audiences, the Miró returns to Carmel for its sixth performance, during CMMB's 60th anniversary season.
The program opens with a string quartet by Haydn, followed by HOME, a CMMB co-commission by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts that explores the many things "home" can mean. After intermission, the Miró performs a work by Puccini, followed by String Quartet No. 2 by Alberto Ginastera, one of the most important 20th-century composers of the Americas, whose music carries the spirit of Argentine folk traditions, bold modernist language and deep emotion.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Miró Quartet has won first prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition and the Naumburg Chamber Music Competition, and in 2005 became the first ensemble ever awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant. Since 2003, it has been quartet-in-residence at the University of Texas at Austin Sarah and Ernest Butler School of Music. The Quartet was nominated for a 2025 GRAMMY Award for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance for its album Home, on Pentatone. The ensemble takes its name and inspiration from the Spanish artist Joan Miró.
Saturday, Dec. 5, 2026, 7:30 p.m., Sunset Center Theater, Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Individual tickets are $30–$75. CMMB's "Kids Up Front &amp; Free" program offers free tickets for young music lovers (grades 3–12) and music teachers, with $15 tickets for chaperones. Active military and full-time students are eligible for discounts. Tickets are available at <a href="https://www.chambermusicmontereybay.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.chambermusicmontereybay.org</a> or by calling the CMMB office at <a href="tel:+18316252212">831-625-2212</a>, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
