Bittersweet Gratitude

Concert & Conversations with Creators

 / 
Conversation Date: 12/30/2020

To close out the year and to find an appropriate way to celebrate our 10th year of TEDx in Santa Barbara we’ve asked friends to join us for a 90-minute concert followed by a series of candid conversations.

We’ll enjoy a performance by each artist followed by a conversation that focuses on the challenges of 2020. We will hear from creators who usually perform in front of live audiences, in person. How have they remained creative during these unusual times? Where have they pivoted? What has surprised them the most this year?
