From the organizers: “Choral music is a living breathing art form, and in this concert you have the opportunity to hear music from many living, breathing composers.” – John K. Russell, Music Director. San Diego Master Chorale presents Where All Are Welcome (Nov. 4 and 5, 2023). Embark on a journey of unity with the San Diego Master Chorale as we celebrate diverse cultures and life experiences through choral music. Drawing inspiration from composers like Jennifer Lucy Cook and Jocelyn Hagen, we explore the path of inter-religious harmony and the richness of different traditions. Featured works by California-based composers Saunder Choi, Shawn Kirchner, R. Matthew Brown, and Zanaida Robles augment this rich tapestry of human connection. Join the Chorale for a musical experience where all are welcome and united through the shared voice of music. These concerts are part of the California Festival, A Celebration of New Music. This statewide music initiative showcases the most compelling and forward-looking voices in performances of works written in the past five years. Note: A second concert on Sunday, Nov. 5, is part of the California Festival Family & Community Day, presented by the San Diego Symphony, and features an abbreviated program performed outside at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.

At this online event, join biographer William Lanouette and geneticist Matthew Meselson as they celebrate the 125th anniversary of Leo Szilard’s birth and the Szilard archive held in UC San Diego Library’s Special Collections & Archives. Lanouette and Meselson will describe Szilard’s contrarian approach to science and public policy. Feli Hartung, a U.S. History Ph.D. candidate at UC San Diego, will moderate a Q&A session with Lanouette and Meselson after their presentations. In science, Szilard first envisioned nuclear chain reactions for energy and bombs, and with Enrico Fermi, codesigned the world’s first reactor. His broadened research redefined basic concepts in molecular biology and he helped found The Salk Institute for Biological Studies and other institutions. In public policy, Szilard drafted Einstein’s 1939 letter to President Roosevelt that prompted the Manhattan Project, led fellow scientists who opposed dropping A-bombs on Japan, gained Soviet leader Khrushchev’s assent to a Moscow-Washington “Hotline” and created arms-control groups that thrive today. All of this he did with wit and humor. For more information visit: library.ucsd.edu Stay Connected on Facebook
