Tianyi Lu, conductor Paul Lewis, piano San Diego Symphony Orchestra Gareth Farr "The Invocation of the Sea" from From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs Grieg: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16 Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36 Winner of the Sir Georg Solti International Conductors' Competition, conductor Tianyi Lu opens her concert with the self-standing first movement of Gareth Farr’s From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs. Farr is one of New Zealand’s leading composers and a distinguished percussionist whose music pulsates with exultant rhythms and colors reflecting his love of the landscapes and surrounding oceans of his native islands, as well as his fascination with his country’s Māori musical and mythic traditions which go back hundreds of years before the arrival of Europeans. At the opposite end of the world, Norway’s greatest composer Edvard Grieg made his name when still a very young man with his brilliant and loveable Piano Concerto, still perhaps the composer’s most popular work and one of the most familiar piano concertos in world repertoire. The distinguished soloist will be the English pianist Paul Lewis. And the concert ends with one of the best loved of all Tchaikovsky’s works, his intensely dramatic Fourth Symphony, written at one of the most productive periods in the composer’s life, the time of his ballet Swan Lake and his opera Eugene Onegin. Operatic and balletic this symphony certainly is, with its fateful horn calls and its yearning melodies, and its infectious dance rhythms and sheer physical élan. For Jacobs Masterworks concerts, only children ages five years and older will be allowed into the concert hall. These children must have a ticket and be able to sit in an un-accompanied seat.

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/
