This December you will have the rare opportunity to witness a living Nativity Scene, one that sings with the voices of angels and shepherds! Musica Vitale invites you to a staged performance of Laud to the Nativity by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi on 12/13 (St. Paul's Cathedral) and 12/18 (Christ Church Coronado). Although Lauda per la Natività del Signore is generally presented as a concert piece, Respighi's wife Elsa left detailed instructions for a staged production. Our director, the noted singer-actress Angelina Réaux, might not follow these to the letter, but she is excited to bring this lesser-known work to life in the form of a popular Italian tradition, the presepe vivente or living nativity scene. Our distinguished soloists--Alberto Estanol, Shepherd (Opera Tijuana), Janelle de Stefano, Mary (Professor of Music, Santa Monica College) and Lisa Parente, Angel (San Diego Opera Singing Artist)--along with the chorus of Musica Vitale and a woodwind ensemble will breathe new life into the Christmas story, as told by the imaginative and innovative Ottorino Respighi. The concert will also include Marian songs by Rachmaninov, Liszt, Grieg, Schnittke, Poulenc, etc. Visit: https://www.musicavitale.com/performances Musica Vitale on Instagram and Facebook

Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “The History of San Diego As Seen Through a Wine Glass,” by Richard Carrico, at 10:30 am November 16, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Blvd. Anthropologist, historian, and perhaps most importantly, wine maker, Richard Carrico will take the audience back through more than 240 years of wine making in San Diego County. We will have answers to these questions: who made the first wines; what and where was the first commercial winery; and is it true that at one time San Diego County rivaled Sonoma in wine production? What was the role of our indigenous people in the wine industry? In a well illustrated PowerPoint presentation, Carrico will stress how wine history is a clear reflection of our county’s history as a whole. Today we are experiencing a renaissance of wine making and once again, San Diego County is poised to take its place among the wine growing regions of the United States. Richard L. Carrico, award winner writer, educator, anthropologist and wine maker, is a retired lecturer in the Department of American Indian Studies at San Diego State University and lives in Warner Springs. His research has made significant contributions to our understanding of the local Native American and Hispanic cultures. He is also a principal in his firm Recuerdos Research where he serves as a consultant to local Indian tribes, government agencies and private firms. He has a master’s degree from San Diego State University in both History and Anthropology, and has completed classes on wine making at UC Davis. Richard’s books will be available for sale and signing during a tasting after his presentation. Visit: chsandiego.org/

The Roy L. Brooks Distinguished Lecture Series was established in response to the social unrest of 2020 and demonstrated by calls from students, alumni, staff and faculty to actively take a stand against anti-Black sentiment. Specifically, the 2020 Black Faculty letter, asked for the establishment of an annual lecture series that would bring an African American scholar to campus. While the establishment of this lecture series is in direct response to that request, it also signals the University's commitment to listen to and improve the experiences of Black Faculty on campus. The award is named after Professor Roy L. Brooks who has been a long standing member of our community, an award-winning and engaging teacher, broadly recognized legal scholar, prolific author of legal books and articles, and a respected and distinguished member of the legal profession and community. This year's Roy L. Brooks Distinguished Lecture Series will feature Dr. Renetta Garrison Tull, the University of California Davis' inaugural Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Join us for Dr. Tull's talk titled, "Getting What You Came For: How to Position Yourself as a Changemaker Through Mentoring, Perseverance and Agility" where she will share her journey to where she is today. This will be followed by an interview with Dr. Regina Dixon-Reeves on 4 key themes: (1) Mentoring (2) Being the only one or one of few (3) Persevering in the face of inevitable disappointments (4) Being strategic while remaining nimble and taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. Dr. Tull will also weave in stories of how she became interested in her career, steps she took, experiences she had, and what she might have done differently, if she had known differently.
