Join the Library for our Autumn Concert Series on Fridays from September 2 to October 28. Each concert will begin at 1 p.m. in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. This weeks performance by classical pianist Eric Brelsford will feature pieces by Schumann, Liszt, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff. Eric Brelsford has appeared on concert stages since 10 years of age. His training in classical performance is extensive and spans the globe. Eric decided to depart from the concert scene after completing his undergraduate studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Since then, his personal life and musical/artistic journey (being one and the same) have flourished. Eric's artistic philosophy is: as in music, so in life. sometimes vice versa. Eric's arrival on the San Diego recital scene began a few years ago with a foray into various piano "meetup" groups using the 'meetup' app on his smartphone. From there, he participated and received accolades for his 3 days of performance presentations at the Conrad in La Jolla during the San Diego Int'l Piano Competition for Amateurs (2019). Eric immediately withdrew from the recital scene again, to consider deeply the next steps of his journey. He will share the results today with his performance at the Coronado Public Library.

This year, the symposium will focus on transboundary conservation, specifically across the US-Mexico border, which spans nearly 2,000 miles across six distinct ecoregions and shapes a landscape that is home to more than 15 million people. It represents a unique opportunity to explore how to improve conservation outcomes for both people and ecosystems – and how to do so in the context of multinational, transboundary collaboration. The symposium will explore such topics as opportunities for, and barriers to, effective conservation in Mexico and the border region; climate change impacts; how to balance cultural needs, sustainable economic development, security, and the health of natural systems; the role of Indigenous leadership; and how the region’s distinct history and biogeography offer insights and learnings for other parts of North America. The 2022 symposium will be a hybrid format, with options for both in-person attendance in Denver, CO, as well as virtual participation.
