Presented by the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus featuring Cecil Lytle, Rick Snow, with Steven Schick.

Part performance, part lecture, part audience interaction, La Jolla Symphony and Chorus's INFORMANCES explore themes from four concerts this season. On the eve of the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, the reverberations of these two great 19th century thinkers on contemporary American life are explored through music. Pianist Cecil Lytle and composer Rick Snow join forces with Steven Schick in conversation and performance. We also take advantage of LJS&C’s premiere of Anthony Davis’ Amistad Symphony during Black History month to reflect on the impact of African-American composers and improvisers on the art music traditions.
