The San Diego Symphony presents Rafael Payare, conductor George Li, piano Program: William Grant Still: "Darker America" Sergei Rachmaninoff: "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43" Hector Berlioz: "Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14" Jan. 28, 2022 at 8 p.m. Music Director Rafael Payare and the San Diego Symphony orchestra bring us two ever-green popular favorites: Hector Berlioz's astonishingly daring "Symphonie fantastique," an early romantic epic of unrequited love and passion; and before it, the great Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff’s "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini," in which they are joined by the American pianist George Li. The program opens with American music – William Grant Still's tone poem of sorrow, hope and prayer, intended, as the composer wrote, to be "representative of the American Negro and suggest the triumph of a people over their sorrows..." Video: George Li performs Horowitz's "Variations on a Theme from Bizet's Opera Carmen," Liszt's "Consolation No. 3" and "La Campanella" for NPR Tiny Desk Concerts: Related links: San Diego Symphony on Instagram San Diego Symphony on Twitter San Diego Symphony on Facebook

Join Foundation for Women Warriors on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. PT for a special online screening of the Six Triple Eight documentary. RSVP: Register for the screening here. About the film: In February 1945, the U.S. Army sent 855 Black women from the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) to England and France to clear the backlog of mail in the European Theater of Operations. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the Six Triple Eight, was the only all-Black female battalion to serve in Europe during WWII. Confronted with racism and sexism from their own leadership and troops, they served with honor and distinction completing their mission in six months. By war’s end, the Six Triple Eight had cleared over 17 million pieces of backlogged mail ensuring the troops stayed in touch with their loved ones back home. The last of the women returned home in March 1946. They were never fully recognized…until now. Watch the trailer here.
