Five things to do this week:

History highlights

See the free “Black History Highlights of Southwest Washington” exhibit at Clark College, on display this month at Gaiser Hall, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver. The Vancouver NAACP chapter, Clark College and Clark County Historical Museum present this panel exhibit created by historian and artist Claudia Starr Carter, who died in April 2022. The exhibit celebrates the contributions and stories of Southwest Washington’s Black community. The exhibit includes objects from the museum and NAACP archives as well as original pieces by Carter.

Keyboards and clarinets

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Chamber Music Series continues with “Piano and Winds,” 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21 at First Presbyterian Church, 4300 Main St., Vancouver. The concert features pianist and artist-in-residence Orli Shaham alongside Rachel Rencher, Alan Juza, Igor Shakhman, Margaret McShea and Daniel Partridge performing Eric Ewazen’s “Ballade, Pastorale and Dance,” Mikhail Glinka’s “Trio Pathetique in D minor,” and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Quintet in E-flat major for Piano and Winds.” Tickets ($25) are at vancouversymphony.org.

Divine disco
