Lytle’s Liszto-Mania!

We don’t often get to celebrate a 200th birthday, so we’re kicking off Hungarian composer Franz Liszt’s bicentenary a little early (it’s in 2011) with a performance of his works by world-renowned pianist Cecil Lytle in a benefit concert to provide scholarships for graduates of the Preuss School at UC San Diego.

Writers with a Purpose

For the last 15 years, Point Loma Nazarene University’s Writer’s Symposium By The Sea has welcomed authors to the stage to chat with journalist Dean Nelson, and UCSD-TV was there again this year to capture two guests who are writing to make a difference.

Michael Eric Dyson
The Georgetown University sociologist shares his views on the social factors that lead to high rates of crime, teen pregnancy and divorce in low-income African American communities.

Bill McKibben
The author and environmentalist discusses his efforts to tell compelling stories about global warming, alternative energy and genetic engineering.

La Traviata Takes the Stage--and the Small Screen

Giuseppi Verdi’s classic opera “La Traviata” premieres April 17 in San Diego and UCSD-TV has it covered---from the history of this beloved work to the performers taking the stage on opening night.

“OperaTalk! with Nick Reveles” puts the epic in historical context.

“San Diego Opera Artists’ Roundtable” brings together the artistic team and principal cast for a lively discussion on the company’s production.

“Opera Spotlight” takes you behind the scenes of San Diego Opera’s glittering production.
