The American Youth Symphony (AYS) presents their annual gala concert, "Freedom: A Celebration of Human Rights," in partnership with Human Rights Watch, on Saturday, April 21, at 5:00 p.m. in UCLA's Royce Hall. This special performance is the brainchild of AYS Music Director, Carlos Izcaray, who was himself a victim of human rights violations at the hands of Venezuela's National Guard in 2004. This pivotal experience led him to become a champion of human rights around the world, and a firm believer in music as a vehicle to voice a message of freedom and justice for all. The concert opens with Strike Fugaz, a world premiere by Maestro Izcaray commissioned especially for this event, and written in the celebrated tradition of creating music as a tool for social change.

Actress Judith Light certainly needs no introduction. A familiar face to television audiences, she co-starred in the soap One Life to Live winning two Daytime Emmy Awards and in prime time with Tony Danza in Who's the Boss?She has also won two Tony Awards for her stellar work on Broadway. She is a gay rights activist and she and her husband Robert Desiderio have contributed greatly to the gay community in Los Angeles over the years. Co-starring in Amazon's web series Transparent, she is currently performing double duty: the TV show by day and at night a workshop play God Looked Away at the Pasadena Playhouse sharing the stage with none other than icon Al Pacino. I caught up with her this week, and she talked briefly but joyously about the play, her role in it and working with Pacino.
