JACKSON HALL. At the center of this concert is a new composition for wind ensemble by Sacramento-based composer Shuying Li titled “Luminance,” which the UC Davis Concert Band helped commission thanks to the Rucker Family Trust’s Endowed Fund for Concert Band Support. Through its use of evocative tonalities and dynamic contrasts, “Luminance” aims to inspire audiences to find strength in moments of darkness and embrace the light within themselves. 7p—9p. Free
PITZER CENTER. A four-piece program featuring Mestre Cabello. Born in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, Cabello dedicates his life to the rhythms, instruments, songs and dances of the Afro-Brazilian culture. 4p—6p. Free
