The Beach Boys Sean O’Loughlin, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra As The Beach Boys mark more than a half century of making music, the group continues to ride the crest of a wave unequalled in America’s musical history. The Beach Boys – who have become synonymous with the California lifestyle and are an American icon to fans around the world – are bringing “The Sounds of Summer” tour to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, featuring the San Diego Symphony Orchestra! Since the band’s co-founder, lead-singer and chief lyricist Mike Love penned the lyrics to The Beach Boys’ first hit, “Surfin’” (1961), dozens of the bands chart toppers have become eternal anthems of American youth: “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Barbara Ann,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Rock and Roll Music” and “Kokomo.” The Beach Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide and have received more than 33 RIAA Platinum and Gold record awards. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers were also honored at the 2001 Grammy Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award. With more than five decades of touring under their belts, The Beach Boys have performed more concerts than any major rock band in history. The Beach Boys are led by Mike Love – legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy® winner, New York Times bestselling author, co-founder, lead singer, and chief lyricist of The Beach Boys, and a 2025 inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame – and is joined by longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Brian Eichenberger, and an accomplished ensemble including Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago, and John Wedemeyer, who continue the legacy of this iconic band.

Warwick's and USD’s College of Arts and Sciences and Humanities Center present Lisa See as she discusses her new book, "Daughters of the Sun and Moon." Lisa See is the New York Times bestselling author of "Lady Tan's Circle of Women," "The Island of Sea Women," "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane," "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan," "Peony in Love," "Shanghai Girls," "China Dolls," and "Dreams of Joy," which debuted at #1. She is also the author of "On Gold Mountain," which tells the story of her Chinese American family's settlement in Los Angeles. See was the recipient of the Golden Spike Award from the Chinese Historical Association of Southern California and the Historymaker's Award from the Chinese American Museum. She was also named National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women. In 1870, three Chinese women arrive in the small, dusty, and violent pueblo of Los Angeles. Dove, the bound-footed daughter of an imperial scholar, is entrancing and innocent. These characteristics should bring her great rewards, beginning with her arranged marriage to a much older merchant. Petal, the big-footed daughter of peasants, has grown up hungry and with dirt between her toes. In a moment of desperation, Petal's father sells her to buy money for rice seed, and she is loaded onto a ship to the Gold Mountain—America—where she is once again sold. Moon is married to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She is educated, speaks fluent English, and has been endowed with a face of great beauty, yet her failed footbinding as a child has left her with a limp that lessens her value in the eyes of many. Each woman has her own desires. Dove wants to love and be loved, Petal desires freedom, and Moon seeks justice. Together they face a larger society that wishes them not one ounce of good will. Anti-Chinese sentiment is strong in Los Angeles, and this eventually leads to the Night of Horrors during which all three women are challenged in ways they could not have imagined. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak, they must use their bravery, endurance, and ability to "eat bitterness" to discover their voices, find freedom, and connect through solace and friendship. Together they are daughters of the sun and moon. $29+tax & fee: One General Admission & one copy of "Daughters of the Sun and Moon" $39+tax & fee: Two General Admissions & one copy of "Daughters of the Sun and Moon" Lisa See on Facebook / Instagram
