Nakupenda 3 - Eclectic Musings by Earl Stewart

Valentine’s Day was a lot sweeter in 2006 thanks to a musical treat of original compositions by Black Studies Professor Earl Stewart.

The 3rd Annual Nakupenda Valentine’s Concert
featured Jazz Pianist Richard Thompson, UCSB pianist Jeremy Haladyna, and poet/author Donald Bakeer.

Stewart’s complex, deeply emotional compositions inspired memorable performances by Thompson, Haladyna, and Bakeer. After an evening of piano compositions, short stories, and poetry, Stewart’s Eclectic Musings left the Valentine’s Day audience clamoring for more. UCTV will air the concert in its entirety throughout the summer. UCTV can be found locally on Cox Cable channel 21 and Dish Network channel 9412.
