This concert celebrates American music in honor of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. For generations, the United States has inspired composers from both within and beyond its borders, shaping works that reflect America’s landscapes, cultures, and evolving identity. This program highlights that influence, beginning with Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” a work shaped by his impressions of America’s musical traditions. We continue with Edward MacDowell’s Suite No. 2, “Indian Suite,” one of the earliest major orchestral works by an American composer. The evening concludes with a world premiere of an original piece written by MiraCosta College Symphony Orchestra’s composer‑in‑residence, Christoph Rayburn—to commemorate this historic anniversary. We hope you’ll join us for this special celebration of American music.

The Book Catapult proudly welcomes our pal Jim Ruland for the release of his new novel, "Mightier Than the Sword" on Friday, November 6 at 7 p.m. Jim will be joined by a cavalcade of authors: Grace Krilanovich (author of "Orange Eats Creeps" and the brand new "Acid Green Velvet"), Adrian Van Young (author of the novel "Rough Beast"), Tammy Greenwood (author of the novel "Everything Has Happened"), and Molly McCloy (author of the new memoir "Nine Grudges: The Spiteful Origins of the Happiest Dyke on Earth.") What do a gambler, a poet, a punk, and a writer of westerns have in common? Four college professors embark on a crime spree in Northern Arizona in 1993. They start by robbing an off-campus bookstore, but when things don't go as planned, the book bandits are drawn into a bigger, bolder caper involving corrupt university officials, drug-dealing frat boys, Navajo ex-cons, and a mysterious golden pen. Steeped in the lore of the West, "Mightier Than the Sword" is a twisty, pulp take on the dirtiest job of them all: working as a part-time professor in a college town. San Diego's Jim Ruland is the author of the novel "Make It Stop, Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise and Fall of SST Records," co-author of "Do What You Want with Bad Religion," and "My Damage with Keith Morris," the founding vocalist of Black Flag, Circle Jerks, and OFF! Ruland has been writing for punk zines such as "Flipside" and "Razorcake" for more than twenty-five years and his work has received awards from Reader’s Digest and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Mannerism originated primarily in Italy. It lasted from approximately 1530-1600 and was a reaction to the harmonious classicism and idealized naturalism of the High Renaissance art as practiced by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Mannerist artists created a style that was characterized by artificiality and unique coloration. A thoroughly self-conscious cultivation of elegance and technical facility were part of this artistic movement. Sophisticated indulgence in the bizarre helped to distinguish its artists. The figures in Mannerist art frequently had graceful, but strangely elongated limbs, small heads, and stylized facial features while their poses seemed difficult or contrived. Painters such as Jacopo Pontormo and Francesco Parmigianino exemplified this unusual and fascinating style of painting. Mannerism began to wane after 1600 as the Baroque began to take hold throughout Europe. The evolution of the movement and its artists will be the focus of this docent-led virtual talk.
