Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee celebrates its 19th Annual Presidents' Circle Luncheon featuring "A Conversation with Katie Hill, Former Congressional Representative from California. Katie will share her future plans, and the ups and downs for younger women considering political careers. Katie Hill was the Executive Director of People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) when she decided to run for office. At the time, Hill was a complete political unknown, a young bisexual woman with no wealth, no Ivy League degree, trying to flip California's 25th congressional district which had been held by Republicans for over two decades. She felt compelled to run after the result of the 2016 presidential election. Hill won the race, but resigned after intimate photos were published by a conservative political site, and a British tabloid. In the world of social media - where political lives are shaped by Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter - there are few regulations on what some call electronic assault, digital exploitation or in this case, "revenge porn." Come, hear her story.

Formed in honor of its parent orchestra’s 20th year, the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble draws upon the orchestra’s highly-praised artistry in an intimate chamber formation. The orchestra, founded by renowned conductor/pianist Daniel Barenboim and the late Palestinian scholar/author Edward Said, brings together outstanding young Palestinian and Israeli musicians in a collaboration that supersedes national and cultural boundaries. The ensemble, created by violinist and concertmaster Michael Barenboim (Daniel’s son) extends the orchestra’s youthful energy, unique personality and profound message – “Equal in Music” – to a diverse program of works by Schubert and Mendelssohn and a recent composition by contemporary French composer Benjamin Attahir, who draws inspiration from both the West and East.
