Former UCR Chancellor, Tomas Rivera, is 
remembered as more than an administrator. He was 
a national educational leader. He was a poet, 
novelist, and essayist.  He was an inspiration.

This original performance piece is the world 
premiere of a musical tribute to his life, 
struggles and achievements. “We Are Not Alone” 
was written by UCR Professor Emeritus, Carlos 
Cortes and Juan Felipe Herrera, the Tomas Rivera 
Endowed Chair in Creative Writing at UCR, and 
features music by lead composer Bruno Louchouarn.

The show is a dynamic fusion of original scores 
performed by the Onda Sound Project; Karen Wilson 
and Blue Wave West; Senryu Taiko at UCR; IE Hip 
Hop Crew (led by Rickerby Hinds); and the 
Mayupatapi Andean Ensemble (led by Jonathan Ritter).

“We Are Not Alone” is presented as the 24th 
Annual Tomas Rivera Conference by the Tomas 
Rivera Endowment and the Department of Creative Writing at UCR.
