Traversing the bounds of genre and language in his songs, Omar Apollo captures the adventurous spirit that this multi-hyphenate moment in pop demands. The singer-songwriter’s fluid musical flair, coupled with his soul-baring balladry, has garnered him a number of industry accolades: including a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist and two Latin GRAMMY nominations for Record of the Year and Best Alternative Song (“Te Olvidaste,” with C. Tangana). With the release of Ivory, Apollo’s eclectic 2022 debut, his hit single “Evergreen (You Didn’t Deserve Me at All)” was certified platinum and became his first showing on the Billboard Hot 100. After selling out his accompanying headline tour, and playing arenas with SZA, Billie Eilish and Daniel Caesar, Apollo is now prepared to release his highly-anticipated sophomore album, God Said No, June 28th 2024. Born in Hobart, IN to Mexican immigrant parents, Apollo made the most of his outcast status by learning guitar and studying the works of Prince. Released independently and written in Spanglish, his 2018 EP Stereo, followed by 2019’s Friends, scored him a deal with Warner Records in 2019. The deal yielded two more projects: 2020’s Apolonio and 2023’s Live for Me. Blending techniques he learned from R&B, indie rock and Latin music, Apollo continued to flex his versatility in sensational live performances, including on Good Morning America, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, NPR’s Tiny Desk series and Coachella. Omar Apollo is a true visionary, whose one-of-a-kind pop synthesis unites listeners from all walks of life in a shared passion for rhythm and soul. Please note: this is a rental event of The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, presented by Live Nation; the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this concert.

Art historian Zaixin Hong examines the enduring significance of the soundscape of music and calligraphy. The soundscape of calligraphy and music is a hallmark of Chinese civilization. This lecture explores their intricate connections and shared purpose, exemplified by Professor Lei Liang’s award-winning “A Thousand Mountains, A Million Streams,” and delves into Chou Wen-chung’s question, “When is a line not a line?” From Confucius’ “Six Arts” to modern masters like Huang Binhong, Pan Tianshou, Zao Wou-ki and Wang Dongling, the connections across centuries between music and calligraphy have bridged tradition and contemporary expression. In the age of AI, celebrating this human spirit becomes more vital than ever. The lecture will feature a special presentation of Huang Binhong’s masterpiece “Landscapes,” shown in stunning 4K projection with original music composed by Liang. Kuiyi Shen, professor of Asian art history, theory and criticism from UC San Diego, will provide a short commentary. Please join us for these events: Lecture in English, 4–5 p.m. Reception, 5–5:30 p.m. Lecture in Chinese, 5:30–6:30 p.m. (Professor Hong will deliver the lecture again in Chinese after the reception. Bilingual audiences may opt to register for either the English or Chinese lecture.) This public lecture is co-sponsored by the 21st Century China Center (21CCC) at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS) and Haili Foundation. For more information on China activities, please visit china.ucsd.edu. If you have any questions, please contact GPS Events Coordinator Susan Zau at jszau@ucsd.edu.
