An evening with local author and nonprofit expert Pat Libby. Get a behind the scenes look into how everyday citizens can make or change laws, with real stories of inspiration and triumph. Using humor and relatable stories, Pat shares how anyone with passion for a cause can learn to successfully pass and change laws using the time-tested tools in "The Empowered Citizens Guide: 10 Steps to Passing a Law that Matters to You" (Oxford University Press). By the end of the evening, you’ll be convinced that you can make change in your community using the book as your guide! Ticket holders have the option to receive a copy of The Empowered Citizens Guide, included with your ticket. One of the nation’s leading experts on citizen lobbying campaigns, Pat has made it her mission to teach people – in a funny and engaging way – how to make change through the legislative process. Her 10-step lobbying model – which she created while leading a nonprofit organization – has been used by novice citizen activists throughout the country to pass a slew of new laws, including many in California. A long-time nonprofit leader and self-described “recovering academic”, she is also author of The Lobbying Strategy Handbook, second edition (Oxford) and Cases in Nonprofit Management (SAGE). In addition to the book talk, audience members will have opportunities to ask Pat questions about anything related to the topic from current political quagmires to supreme court decisions to best practices for new and experienced advocates.

From the Symphony: Rafael Payare, conductor Jesse Perez and Shana Wride, narrators San Diego Symphony Orchestra TCHAIKOVSKY: “Waltz” and “Polonaise” from Eugene Onegin TCHAIKOVSKY: The Tempest Fantasy Overture, Op. 18 TCHAIKOVSKY: Francesca da Rimini, Op. 32 RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Russian Easter Overture, Op. 36 Jesse Perez and Shana Wride are leading San Diego actors who will bring to life excerpts of the classic literature that inspired Tchaikovsky's music. About the program: Note: due to current world events, the San Diego Symphony has made the decision to change its 1812 Tchaikovsky Spectacular concert repertoire from what was previously announced. Now titled TCHAIKOVSKY’S SYMPHONIC TALES, this program will no longer include Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. While this program has been a regular feature of San Diego Symphony summer seasons past, with the ongoing Russian war that threatens the people of Ukraine, who – as we speak – are fighting for their very lives, we feel that it is important to amend this program. Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture was commissioned and written to celebrate a Russian military victory and includes the sounds of battle and violent artillery. The San Diego Symphony highly respects the work of Russian composers and intends to carry that legacy on through our musical performances, as is evidenced by the new program listed above. But, we strongly feel that this summer is not the time in which we should perform the 1812 Overture. We join the many millions across the world who wholeheartedly support Ukraine and its people in one of the darkest hours of their history and carry hope that this war will end soon.
