Dear Arts & Lectures’ Friends and Family,

Aldous Huxley

1961

José Limón

Midway through our 60th Anniversary Season, I am still humbled by the history of what Arts & Lectures has built in our community. Before most of us on the team were born, Arts & Lectures was already fueling the cultural life of Santa Barbara by presenting vibrant performances, encouraging intellectual growth and aspiring to rigorous standards of excellence.

Itzhak Perlman as a teenager, Aldous Huxley and Upton Sinclair as later-in-life sages, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama: this is our shared history.

1963

Itzhak Perlman

It’s customary to mark these anniversaries with a very special event, but we are a large and sprawling program that reaches into diverse communities and couldn’t possibly honor our loyal public with a single event.

So, this year is a festive collection of brilliant performances, thought-provoking lectures, free community events, mind-expanding educational activities and fun parties.

1964

Upton Sinclair Margaret Mead

1967

Marilyn Horne

1968

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Sixty years from now I hope Arts & Lectures will look back on having stoked the careers of young artists like pianist Beatrice Rana (March 3), photographer Bertie Gregory (January 13), and authors like Eli Saslow (March 4), and having educated, entertained and inspired three more generations through Arts & Lectures’ vast and expansive outreach programs.

Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey. It’s a privilege to play a role in our community’s vibrant cultural life.

Eli Saslow

Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist Mon, Mar 4 / 7:30 PM / Campbell Hall $20 / FREE for UCSB students

“Rising Out of Hatred is a disturbing look at the spread of extremism – and how it is planted and cultivated in the fertile soil of American bigotry. And yet, Saslow’s vivid storytelling also conveys that during this period of deepening racial division, there is the possibility of redemption.” The Washington Post Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Eli Saslow reveals the human stories behind the most divisive issues of our time, such as racism, poverty, addiction and school shootings. In his latest book, Rising Out of Hatred, he tells the powerful story of how Derek Black, a one-time heir to America’s white nationalist movement, came to question the ideology he helped spread.

photo: Talley Media

Dustbowl Revival’s “upbeat, old-school, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot, spontaneous, engaging and, best of all, a pleasure to hear.”

LA Weekly With a reputation for jaw-dropping virtuosity and unforgettable live shows, the hot jazz and Western swing trio Hot Club of Cowtown sets up camp “at that crossroads where country meets jazz and chases the blues away” (The Independent, U.K.). Dustbowl Revival is a roots orchestra of eight members who play it all, mashing a vibrant mix of vintage Americana into a genre-hopping, time-bending dance party.

Each band brings their musical alchemy to the Santa Barbara stage in a celebration of The Band, and 50 years since the legendary group’s debut albums Music From Big Pink and The Band.

Silkroad Ensemble

Looking Ahead at Spring Highlights

Heroes Take Their Stands

Fri, Apr 26 / 8 PM / Granada Theatre $55 / $45 / $35 / $15 UCSB students

Pauchi Sasaki: Elektra Colin Jacobsen: Arjuna at Kuru: Discourse with Lord Krishna Jason Moran: Martin Luther King, Jr. Kayhan Kalhor: Siavosh in Touran: Farewell to his Wife and Horse Zhao Lin: Dou E at Chuzhou

This evening-length multimedia program tells the stories of five heroic figures from diverse cultures – from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to Elektra of Greek mythology, to Arjuna of Hindu epic poetry – capturing the drama of the moral borderland between conflicting values, and asking, “What does it mean to take a stand in a moment of moral uncertainty? What does an everyday hero look like? And how can an ordinary person make a difference?” Arts & Lectures is thrilled to be the lead commissioner on this new project with the renowned Silkroad Ensemble and its collaborating partners, including Bharatanatyam dancer/ choreographer Aparna Ramaswamy (working with Colin Jacobsen) and puppeteer/filmmaker Hamid Rahmanian (working with Kayhan Kalhor).

“[Yo-Yo Ma] somehow found time to go past the cello and refashion himself into something bigger...

He is the consummate ‘citizen musician.’”

The Washington Post

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma will discuss the role of culture in creating a strong society, drawing on examples from his own life as a musician and citizen. Mr. Ma’s presentation is rooted in the belief that at a moment when our world is challenged by the pace of change and the divisions it can create, culture’s ability to create and share meaning is essential to shaping the next stage in our evolution. Yo-Yo Ma’s multi-faceted career is testament to his enduring belief in culture’s power to generate trust and understanding. Whether performing new or familiar works from the cello repertoire, collaborating with communities and institutions to explore culture’s social impact or engaging unexpected musical forms, Yo-Yo Ma strives to foster connections that stimulate the imagination and reinforce our humanity.
