Dear Arts & Lectures’ Friends and Family, We launched our season with our We Can Do It! A Century of Empowerment initiative, and I’m so pleased that our community responded so positively to education champion Tara Westover, soccer stars Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, plus eye-widening thought-leader Esther Perel. And there’s more to come, with Anita Hill (p. 19), historian Jill Lepore (p. 22) and U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo (p. 15), to name a few. Turning the calendar to 2020 we give you Forces of Nature (p. 4-7), our next initiative and another sprawling and complex mass of ideas, problems, solutions and challenges that face our community and our planet. Marking 50 years since the Santa Barbara oil spill and our community’s role in the birth of the modern environmental movement, Forces of Nature brings together a battalion of brains and bravery – women and men who are taking action and making a difference. Turn the page and you’ll see what I mean. But Arts & Lectures is never just about one idea. Or two. We celebrate the eclectic nature of arts and culture and we’re excited to present everything from Itzhak Perlman in a special multimedia evening about his life and career (p. 10) to Memphis jookin master Lil Buck (p. 11) to the Martha Graham Dance Company (p. 12) and superb pianist Daniil Trifonov (p. 17). A special note: we are deeply honored to partner with the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara to bring Dr. Mary-Claire King (p. 16), the brilliant geneticist who discovered the BRCA1 cancer gene and has done so much for medical science and human rights. She’s nothing short of extraordinary and she will have a huge impact on our community. Spread the word about this FREE community event. Corporate Season Sponsor

A young star who has revitalized the role of the guitar in classical music, Miloš Karadaglić is one of the “champions of the classical guitar who have shaped its sound in the last century” (BBC Music Magazine). His vast talent expands traditional and contemporary repertoire with skillful and imaginative arrangements, whether he is playing classical works or on his album devoted to the music of The Beatles.

Bach, Villa-Lobos, Granados and Lennon & McCartney.

“It is the sheer physical virtuosity of the company that is so impressive – the sinuous, athletic bodies seemingly inexhaustible.” The Guardian (U.K.)
Brazil’s leading contemporary dance troupe Grupo Corpo returns with a phenomenal double bill of two wildly different works that showcase the 21-member group’s extraordinary range. In Gira, choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras constructs a powerful glossary of gestures of praise and movement inspired by AfroBrazilian religious rituals, set to music by the Brazilian fusion group Méta Méta. In Bach, the baroque world of J.S. Bach is made modern in a score by Marco Antônio Guimarães, with dancers in brilliant shades of gold, regal blue and black dropping from a set of enormous organ pipes. Grupo Corpo delivers a dazzling celebration of Brazil in all its diversity. (Mature content.)

Of all the challenges the planet faces, none is as large as its fast-heating climate – and no one has worked longer or harder than Bill McKibben to both document and fight that ever-growing crisis. McKibben wrote the first book about global warming for a general audience – 1989’s The End of Nature. He went on to found 350.org, the world’s largest grassroots climate campaign, and write a dozen more books including his latest bestseller, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? McKibben now offers a call to arms 30 years after he first set the stage.

The future is being transformed by climate change, faster and more dramatically than we realized. Politics, technology, cities, business, even our sense of history, human rights and justice will all be changed by this massive force. But how? To what degree? Author of the critically-hailed bestseller The Uninhabitable Earth and deputy editor and climate change columnist at New York magazine, David Wallace-Wells tells the epic story of our time. He asks key questions and reminds us that everything is within our control, so long as we resist complacency. This, he says, is the moment to truly engage with what climate change really means.

The Wood Brothers Fri, Mar 6 / 8 PM / Campbell Hall $42 / $30 / $15 UCSB students With soulful vocals, rich harmonies, unwavering grooves and searing guitar work, The Wood Brothers combine a “rustic folk sound with a jolt of sonic and stylistic playfulness” (Aspen Times). Bassist Chris Wood (also of Medeski Martin & Wood), his brother Oliver on acoustic and electric guitars and multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix harness a kaleidoscopic array of influences and exemplary musicianship into a must-see live show. They received a Grammy Award nomination for their sixth and most recent album, One Drop of Truth, drifting effortlessly between styles as diverse as plaintive country folk and electrified blues funk.
“They deliver nourishment for mind and body with great licks and even greater joy… There is something about The Wood Brothers’ music that serves to lighten the mood and elevate the spirits.” NPR

“Hers is a powerful message to protect the inherent rights of every living creature, to provide hope for future generations and to sound an urgent call against the greatest environmental threat of all – climate change. Anyone who has heard her speak, or heard her story, has been mesmerized by her life’s work and moved by her philanthropic legacy.” – Leonardo DiCaprio, for Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2019
Sixty years ago, a young Jane Goodall arrived on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania for the first time. Without realizing it, she would soon change the world forever. 26-year-old Jane Goodall was tasked with being the first to formally observe and better understand our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom: wild chimpanzees. Jane’s subsequent groundbreaking discoveries revealed remarkable truths about chimpanzee behavior and humankind. Today, Dr. Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute have redefined “species conservation” to put people at the center. Dr. Goodall travels around the globe to spread hope and turn it into action to improve the well-being of people, other animals and the environment we share. Hear these stories and more in her own words as Dr. Goodall takes us on a journey of discovery through her childhood dreams of living alongside wildlife, first steps in Gombe, greatest revelations, and her reasons for hope.
