What happens when you take the "bippity-boppity-boo" out of Cinderella? You get something even more magical - Rossini's enchanting La Cenerentola. This isn't Rodgers and Hammerstein or Walt Disney - no singing mice, fairy godmother, or glass slippers. There is a charming prince, however, as well as obnoxious stepsisters, a stupid stepfather, and a matching pair of diamond bracelets. And everything ends happily in a blaze of glorious coloratura. The Cinderella in this opera is named Angelina, and she is as kind and gentle and forgiving as her name implies. And because this is a Rossini opera, Angelina and the rest of the cast also possess everlasting energy and exceptional vocal ability.

The music is fast, fast, fast, and the action is at full throttle. Practically everyone is in disguise most of the time, all the deception is hilarious, and the patter is never-ending. This is comedy in the fast lane, with dazzling music and vocal pyrotechnics. The Barber of Seville might have made Rossini famous, but it was La Cenerentola that cemented his reputation and made his comic style the world's favorite.

What do you do when your married boss makes a play for your fiancée? If it's the 18th century and you're a lowly valet, you're supposed to look the other way. But if your name is Figaro and your clever fiancée, Susanna, is in league with your boss's unhappy wife, then you just might succeed in making your lecherous employer - and indeed his whole decadent social class - look pretty foolish. In fact, Susanna and Figaro are so successful at flummoxing Count Almaviva and his fellow aristocrats that The Marriage of Figaro has been called the opening shot of the French Revolution. Servants one-upping their masters? Unthinkable, yet so very, very satisfying.

At once humorous and touching, this madcap masterpiece represents the crowning glory of Mozart's unparalled brilliance. Lust collides with love through a series of hilarious deceptions, famous melodies, and a richly varied and beautiful score. The Marriage of Figaro, for very good reason, is often described as the most perfect comic opera ever written.

What was the sweetest moment of your life? For Magda in Puccini's La Rondine, the beautiful mistress of a wealthy banker, it was the night many years ago when she ran away from home and met a handsome stranger at a Parisian nightclub, the Bullier. He asked her name, she wrote it on a tabletop, and he did the same. Though she left without ever seeing him again, it was an enchanting, unforgettable interlude. Now she is very well kept and much more experienced - until someone reads her palm and tells her that, like a swallow, she will fly back to love.

And so, disguised as the shop girl she used to be, Magda runs off for a night of adventure at the Bullier. There, she meets a young man and begins to relive that other magical night. Although her wealthy protector arrives to tell her he hopes she won't regret her decision, she runs off with her new beau to a romantic idyll on the Riviera. Magda is happy with the way things are, but the young man hopes his parents will reinstate his inheritance and allow him to marry her. Although permission is granted, Magda is wise enough, discreet enough, and in love enough to know that her scandalous past will ruin her young lover. She returns home to her benefactor.

The Biennial is a celebration of creativity at the intersection of art, technology, and digital culture; the theme for the 2010 Biennial is Build Your Own World. “The best way to predict the future is to invent it,” posited Alan Kay. This idea encapsulates the Build Your Own World theme where: The future is not about what’s next; it’s about what we can build to ensure that what’s next matters. How can we, as resourceful, innovative, and knowledgeable local and global citizens build and participate in a desirable future in the face of global climate change, economic meltdown, political instability, and cultural divisiveness?

The 2010 01SJ Biennial is predicated on the notion that as artists, designers, engineers, architects, marketers, corporations and citizens we have the tools to (re)build the world, conceptually and actually, virtually and physically, poorly and better, aesthetically and pragmatically, in both large and small ways. Under the theme “Build Your Own World,” the 3rd 01SJ Biennial will present a broad range of exemplary work, which not only imagines the future (world) but builds it.

The 3rd 01SJ Biennial will take place September 15-19, 2010, throughout San Jose. It is about how powerful ideas and innovative individuals from around the world can make a difference and come together to build a unique, city-wide platform for creative solutions and public engagement. It is about the inspiration needed to build a world we want to live in and are able to live with.

Adam del Monte, adjunct assistant professor, has been on the faculty of the Thornton studio jazz guitar department since 2002, teaching flamenco and coaching the World Guitar Ensemble. Del Monte was both influenced by and inspired the younger generation of flamenco performers who were beginning to depart from the previous virtual space of Spanish flamenco. Del Monte, too, set out in new directions, integrating years of traditional and leading-edge flamenco training, as well as expanding his musicianship on the classical guitar. An eclectic awareness of jazz, world music and other contemporary forms led to new, creative renditions of flamenco repertoire. He has been commissioned by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet to compose a progressive flamenco piece entitled Cambio de Aire. He has collaborated with Yusef Lateef and the Atlanta Symphony at the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. His flamenco debut CD on the Spanish label Sonifolk (1998), Viaje a Un Nuevo Mundo (Journey to a New World), was favorably reviewed by Spain's most acclaimed flamenco critic Angel Alvarez Caballero as well as Miguel Mora of El Pais and Alfredo Grimaldos of El Mundo.

Every now and then an artist comes along whose music reaches out and touches the soul of all who hear them…virtuoso guitarist, singer and composer Vicki Genfan is among those artists… Drawing from folk, jazz, pop, soul and world music, Vicki is redefining ‘singer/songwriter culture.’ With a mastery of the acoustic guitar that borders on pure alchemy, audiences are mesmerized by the waves of sound Vicki creates with just two hands and her voice. Using 29 alternate tunings and the percussive technique she calls 'slap-tap', you'll find the addition of her pure, expressive vocals that dig deep and stir the heart to be the perfect accompaniment on many of her songs. Vicki writes and beautifully sings her own brand of music and lyrics while putting her unmistakable imprint on familiar tunes like the Beatles’ Norweigian Wood. An evening with Vicki is far more than a concert; stories, warmth and humor come gift wrapped in an unforgettable evening of music that leaves the audience always wanting more.

Vicki has been recognized among the world’s greatest guitarists and musicians at festivals such as The International Montreal Jazz Festival, Germany’s Open Strings Guitar Festival, Italy’s Soave Guitar Festival, as well as at venues and Performing Arts Centers across the US and abroad.

Patrick Ball - Confessions of a Blarney Pilgrim: Sunnyvale’s favorite modern-day bard, Patrick Ball, returns to Sunnyvale Theatre with a brand new show inspired by his own pilgrimage to Ireland. Irish legend has it that those who make a pilgrimage to kiss the Blarney Stone will be forever blessed with the gift of eloquence. Ball himself found his calling as a storyteller and harper, when he decided as a graduate student to visit his ancestral homeland. Blarney Pilgrim is the title of a traditional Irish double jig, which has become a mainstay of modern Celtic music; the tune was featured in the blockbuster film Titanic, during the scene of an Irish party in the ship’s steerage section. The evening here also promises to be a festive one for fans. Not only does the occasion mark Ball’s 19th consecutive season performing as part of the Evenings of Cultural Arts series; it’s also the artist’s birthday!

A pact with the devil brings magic bullets and arrows that always find their target. No one is safe from them, not even the evil one from whom they came. The free-shooter is a damned soul, avoided by his fellows, unhappy, and always violent. The misguided hero wishes to earn the hand of beloved Agathe, a virtuous and pious woman, by becoming the most skilled huntsman in the area. Hunters, villagers, and bridesmaids make up the choruses that bring to life the surrounding countryside. As the opera unfolds, it brings to life, through nature, all the evil forces of the universe and the psychology of man. Written by Carl Maria von Weber and Directed by Yuval Sharon, in German with English titles.

Namik Sultanov is well-known as a distinguished pianist and pedagogue with exceptional lyrical gifts and a distinctive performance style. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, he showed extraordinary musical talent from a very early age. Playing violin and flute, he was a serious student of composition in his youth, composing more than 150 pieces that were featured at music school concerts. Although at that time a string student, he won first prize in the music school’s piano competition. At 12, deeply impressed by Van Cliburn’s stunning performance at the First Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, he began to self-study Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. Practicing day and night, he soon played all three movements for Ahad Israfilzade, chief conductor of the Azerbaijan Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Israfilzade immediately asked him to play with the Philharmonic, and the triumphant concert was a big sensation in the musical life of this capital city.

Take a modern band and present them with a musical setting from early-mid century Paris and Brussels, and what do you have? - Gaucho! They incorporate gypsy jazz into an up-to-date sound that is guaranteed to enliven and entertain. The group captures a passion from when the melodies of New Orleans jazz were in the air and mingles them with the sounds of cafés and dance halls to deliver an extraordinarily captivating experience.

Gaucho benefits from the individual gifts and faculties of its members and is piloted with a steady hand by Dave Ricketts, who has a degree in classical guitar. Talented keyboardist and composer Rob Reich holds down the accordion chair with rare finesse, while guitarist Mike Groh, as a bookend to Dave, adds a discriminating palette of jazz and blues to the mix. Anchoring the rhythm section and holding it all together is Ari Munkres, who is one of the most sought-after gypsy jazz bass players in the country. This ensemble is truly a collective alliance with a singular acoustic voice. Matchless merriment is provided while at the same time young and old alike find their pleasure in the music of Gaucho.

SuperStrings, comprised of the youngest PACO students, introduces the basic elements of ensemble playing to young string players with limited orchestral experience but having had a few years of private study. Under the direction of Kris Yenney (PACO ’74), an emphasis is placed on creating a positive environment where the love of music and of playing together is fostered for a lifetime of enjoyment. As at all PACO levels, competitiveness is minimized in favor of cooperation, wherein each player is equally valuable to the whole. In addition to weekly rehearsals, each SuperStrings member is placed in a smaller chamber ensemble which practices under the supervision of a parent, a member of Senior PACO, or a local professional. SuperStrings’ two annual concerts feature works for the orchestra as well as performances by these chamber ensembles. Program TBA.

Rooted in the traditional Celtic music of Ireland and Scotland (as well as Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, French Brittany and Spanish Galicia), this trio of modern day minstrels has expanded upon these ethnic styles through the development of intriguing arrangements and original compositions. In this way, they have created a sound unique unto themselves. Backing themselves on an array of acoustic instruments (Celtic harp, guitar, octave-mandolin, mandolin, accordion, violin, penny-whistle and bodhran) they blend their voices in pristine three-part harmony and feature haunting solo vocals. In the recording studio, as well as on stage, Golden Bough captures the essence and joy of traditional music.

Prince Tamino and Princess Pamina are young lovers who use the powers of a magic flute to battle the forces of evil that threaten to keep them apart. Set in an unknown location at an unknown time, The Magic Flute tells the tale of characters who don't seem to know exactly who they are, where they're going, or what they're going to do there — And while the story seems to be a clear-cut story of good versus evil, it soon becomes confoundingly difficult to tell which is which!

Abridged and performed in English, Bay Shore Lyric Opera's adaptation of Mozart's brilliant comic opera is the perfect way to introduce young audiences to the wonderful world of opera. A delight for the whole family!

It follows this explanation with a performance of the featured piece in its entirety. During the performance, the audience has the opportunity to develop an intimate relationship with the featured music as well as with the performers through the explanations. Past audience members have commented that it is a unique concert experience that demystifies classical music and offers insight into the creative process.

San Jose Symphonic Choir and the Nova Vista Symphony present A Sea Symphony by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Vaughan Williams's first and longest symphony, A Sea Symphony was first performed at the Leeds Festival in 1910, with the composer conducting. One of the first symphonies in which a choir is used throughout the work and is an integral part of the musical texture, A Sea Symphony helped set the stage for a new era of symphonic and choral music in England during the first half of the 20th century. The work is sometimes referred to as the Symphony No. 1.

With Henry Mollicone's unmistakable touch, the Latin rhythms and changing meter of this World Premiere interweaves the elements of the mass in Spanish and the story of Guadalupe, or Lupe, an undocumented person.

2009 marks the 140-year anniversary of the birth of Komitas (1869-1935), the founder of the Armenian classical music. The Seemorgh Ensemble, directed by Artin Der Minassians, will honor this occasion by bringing to life some rarely performed sacred and secular choral masterpieces by Komitas and his renowned student, Barsegh Kanachian.

The program features Komitas' two rare jewels, Lord's Prayer and Song for Night-Time Vigil, along with An den Wassern zu Babel, the only music he composed in German. Kanachian's Nanor will take you on a pilgrimage to St. Karapet monastery and a complete cycle of Komitas' Wedding Songs, together with other surprises, will call to mind the beauty of Armenian tradition.

Thirty-one years later, they will reprise this delightfully quirky piece, a favorite with choirs and audiences worldwide. Next, in a nice coincidence, we celebrate the feast day (November 22) of the patron saint of music with the renowned, but too seldom performed, Messa di Santa Cecilia of Alessandro Scarlatti. Finally, Beatus vir, a dramatic setting of Psalm 112 by Claudio Monteverdi, rounds out a joyful and festive concert!

The solemnity of Lent and the contemplation of human mortality have often inspired music imbued with deep emotion and exquisite beauty. Two prime examples by contemporaries at the close of the Renaissance—the director of a Portuguese seminary and a guilt-ridden Italian prince—are Lôbo’s Requiem and the Tenebrae of Gesualdo. Both display elaborate counterpoint but in utterly different harmonic language. For further contrast, we sing a set of beautifully lyric motets by the Romantic composer Josef Rheinberger from tiny Liechtenstein.We finish this extraordinary a cappella concert with works by two living composers: England’s John Tavener and the Bay Area’s own Frank Ferko.

This performance features the World Premiere of the vibrantly beautiful new opera,Truce of Carols, by Michael Taylor as well as Menotti's classic Amahl and the Night Visitors.

Truce of Carols is new opera based on the poignant, true story of Christmas Eve 1914, in the Belgian trenches of WWI. German troops began decorating the area around their trenches in the region of Ypres, Belgium, for Christmas. They placed candles on trees then continued the celebration by singing Christmas carols, most notably Stille Nacht (Silent Night). The British troops in the trenches across from them responded by singing English carols. The two sides shouted Christmas greetings to each other.

Soon thereafter, visits across the "No Man's Land" took place where the soldiers exchanged small gifts of whisky, jam, cigars, chocolate, sometimes addresses, and drank together. The artillery in the region fell silent that night. The truce also allowed burial parties a breathing spell to retrieve recently-fallen soldiers and bring them back behind their own lines. Proper burials took place as soldiers from both sides mourned the dead together and paid their respects, in spite of opposition at higher levels of the military. The truce spread to other areas of the lines, and there are many stories of soccer matches between the opposing forces. It lasted everywhere through Christmas night and in some areas, continued until New Year's Day.

Based in San Carlos, CA, they play throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and are a tight group of friends who have a shared passion for making people dance and bringing a unique sound to our listeners. They are in love with the complex rhythms of African and Latin music, but also appreciate the beauty of a catchy melody and a strong vocalist.

The Tribal Blues Band is an eight piece power blues and funk machine; their live performance exudes excitement and energy and is a must see experience. The sizzling guitar work, solid bottom end, grooving rhythms, fat horn riffs and cutting edge vocals blend to form a cohesive unit of electrifying Blues, Funk, Jazz and Rock n’ Roll. The Tribal Blues Band is Raya Zion on vocals, Dave Christian on guitar, Sam Herzberg on drums and vocals, Marty “Fuzzy” Izenson on Sax, Danny J. on bass, Jim Williams on Hammond B3, Bruce Reingold on trumpet, and Eric Bloch on Trombone. The Tribal Blues Band’s musicians bring with them mastership of their instruments that, when combined, forms a whole greater than the sum of the individual parts; a cohesion that plays easy on the ear and is a thrill to experience live. Their repertoire runs the gamut of the Blues, Funk, Rock n’ Roll and Jazz and ranges from exciting and driving to searing and sublime. There is something here to satisfy every party aficionado!

Fusing folk, jazz, pop and classical styles, Laurence Juber creates a multifaceted performance that belies the use of only one instrument. Juber is a master of acoustic finger style, but with less of the trick-guitar mishmash that seems obligatory among the high-octane pickers. He has a fluid style that shifts gears through simultaneous jazzy chording, leads, and bass lines, while weaving in and out of musical thoughts faster than a Formula One racer.

After spending three years as lead guitarist with Paul McCartney and Wings, Laurence Juber embarked on a career as a solo artist, composer and arranger, and soon developed a reputation as a world-class guitar virtuoso, being voted #1 by Fingerstyle Guitar magazine. He has released 13 critically acclaimed solo albums, including LJ Plays the Beatles, Guitarist and One Wing. His latest solo CD, Pop Goes Guitar, includes the arrangement of Stand By Me that is heard nationally in the De Beers Diamonds Are Forever commercial.

While the WonderBread Five first took to the stage as a Jackson 5/Michael Jackson Tribute Band, they've expanded their repertoire years beyond the Brothers Wonder, now covering not only great Jackson5 hits, but a wide variety or 70's, 80's 90's and current pop. This band is one of the most energetic, dance and vamp bands in the industry. A non-stop dance party and spectacle. In psychedelic prints and six-inch platforms, The Wonder Bread 5 now perform the top hits of the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and beyond. And like the synthetic fabrics they can't give up, the music is authentic.

Notorious is the Bay Area's most exciting live dance party/rock show! The five guys and a gal started out as an 80's pop band and have since mastered the world of 70’s disco and rock through the ages including current hits; playing songs from Madonna to AC/DC to the Commodores to Beyonce. You’re sure to hear that favorite song from any era and you won’t be able to stop dancing... Decked out in hip, retro outfits, the sensational six have such a good time on stage, you can't help but be infected with their spirited energy and positive vibe. Wherever they go, the party follows! From the crazy guitar solos, to the dancing, to the great male and female vocals, a Notorious show is a guaranteed good time!

This six-piece band of seasoned professionals led by the dynamic Catie Chase is a mainstay of Coastside festivals and music venues. With Catie’s crystal-clear vocals, a danceable downbeat, smooth guitar stylings and three and four part harmonies, the band hits on the classics of a broad range of artists, from Bonnie Raitt and Aretha Franklin to Fleetwood Mac and The Talking Heads.

Five years ago, Robin was asked to do a weekly gig at The Miramar Beach Restaurant. This was to be an all-star group featuring some of the coast’s veterans. Robin called on Chris Cotruvo, and Pete Amour (yes, that's his real name). The guitar drum duo that held it down for many years with the CJP band, not only do they have a lot of experience with each other and many styles of music, they had proven themselves as reliable, and easy going. Robin also called in her father Drew to play rhythm guitar, it's a family affair!!! Pete Amour played in a band where he developed a good relationship with the bass player, so he called Jeremy S Foster, the funk you smell when opening up a bottle of spoiled milk. The rest is history. Fast foward five years later… Drew moved to North Carolina, and we now perform as a quartet, allowing the sound to open up a lot, with a very free amoebic groove. We are primarily a live band, and to be truly appreciated one must witness it in that fashion. You won't be disappointed!

Brother Buzz was born when drummer Roy McKinney and guitarist John Hall were introduced to each other by a mutual friend in the late 1980's. Brother Buzz has been packing dance floors ever since. Guitarist Bob Noto joined up in 1990 and bassist Tom McManus in 2004. Each member is a mutli-decade veteran of the Bay Area music scene with experience ranging from rock to funk to punk to worship music. The band consistently gets high marks for energy, enthusiasm, and for being just plain fun. Tight but not too tight, they lay down the best of America's roots music, rock'n' roll, R&B, blues, and funk. The common element is "Ya gotta dance to it!" With multiple, versatile soloists and vocalists Brother Buzz rocks with variety as well as fire and enthusiasm. Put on your dancin' shoes, Brother Buzz is in town!

Mixing full–throttle rock with dollops of blue-eyed soul, vintage R&B and melodic pop radio anthems in–the–making, Parachute has arrived. The band’s debut Mercury/Island Def Jam Music Group album takes off from the individual members’ shared histories -- from She Is Love, the ballad torch song and first single, with its Van Morrison-like scatting by lead singer/songwriter/guitarist and piano player Will Anderson, to Nate McFarland’s The Edge-styled chunks of guitar laced through Back Again, Under Control, Ghost, Words Meet Heartbeats and All That I Am.

This event finds Parachute opening for Kelly Clarkson.

More than just the undisputed king of Mexico's traditional ranchera music, Vicente Fernández -- "El Idolo de Mexico" -- is one of that country's most recognizable and influential cultural icons. Since his emergence in the mid-'60s, Fernández's popularity has escalated to the point that his status among Mexicans and Mexican-Americans has been likened to that of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley in the United States.

His concerts both in Mexico and the U.S. routinely sell out despite a near-total dearth of non-Latino media coverage, and his 100-plus albums have reportedly sold in excess of fifty million copies. Fernández has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has been nominated for Grammy Awards, and has collected a number of honors, including being named Person of the Year by the Latin Recording Academy in 2002 and garnering membership in the International Latin Music Hall of Fame.

This presentation of Bizet's Carmen is being simulcast live in HD in select movie theatres nationwide.

One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen "is about sex, violence, and racism—and its corollary: freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his new production of Bizet's drama. "It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking." Elina Garanca sings the seductive gypsy of the title for the first time at the Met, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don José.

This presentation of Rossini's Armida is being simulcast live in HD in select movie theatres nationwide.

The mythical story of a sorceress who enthralls men in her island prison has inspired operatic settings by a multitude of composers, including Gluck, Haydn, and Dvorak. Renée Fleming stars in the title role of Rossini’s version, opposite no fewer than six tenors. Tony Award winner Mary Zimmerman returns to direct this new production of a work she describes as “a buried treasure, a box of jewels.” The fanciful and magical tale, Zimmerman says, “has an epic, enchanted quality and a tremendous visual element.”

Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar has emerged as one of the leading figures in world music today. She is deeply rooted in Indian classical music, having studied exclusively with her father, the legendary Ravi Shankar, and is now one of the foremost performers in that tradition. In tandem with this, she has flourished as a performer and composer, exploring fertile ground in the crossover between Indian music and a variety of genres including electronica, jazz, flamenco and Western classical music.

In the autumn of 1998 her first solo recording, Anoushka, was released to critical acclaim. Annourag (2000), Shankar's second release expanded upon and refined what she had previously recorded and was followed by Live a Carnegie Hall (2001) which garnered her first Grammy nomination, making her the youngest ever nominee in the World music category. Both Shankar and her half-sister, Norah Jones, were nominated for Grammy awards in 2003.

In 2007, Anoushka collaborated with Karsh Kale, the Indian-American producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist, to jointly create the album Breathing Under Water, which showed an even deeper grasp of the fusion of Eastern and Western music. This album features a rare guest appearance by her father, as well as contributions by Norah Jones, Sting and others.

This program features some of Monteverdi's gloriously varied madrigals. Among the traditional prima prattica and new stile concertato works are the sestina Lagrime D'Amante al Sepolcro Dell'Amata, Monteverdi's heartrending tribute to his wife who died in 1607; Lamento d'Arianna, his wrenching five-voice arrangement of the famous lament from his now-lost 1608 opera, L'Arianna; and the delightful ballo Tirsi e Clori from 1616.

First performed on Good Friday in 1724, The Passion According to Saint John is a work full of dramatic excitement, spiritual introspection, and devotional fervor. A baroque orchestra, including some of the Bay Area's finest players, helps perform this sacred masterpiece.

Soloists include tenor Brian Staufenbiel as the Evangelist, who narrates the story of the betrayal, suffering and crucifixion, and baritone Scott Graf in the role of Jesus. Bach's choral writing is thrilling, with the gathered crowds portrayed in special turba choruses, and moments of reflection offered through Lutheran hymns.

OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.

When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.

It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.

OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.

Few bands embodied the era of pop-metal like Bon Jovi. By merging Def Leppard's loud but tuneful metal with Bruce Springsteen's working-class sensibilities, the New Jersey-based quintet developed an ingratiatingly melodic and professional variation of hard rock -- one that appealed as much to teenagers as to housewives.1986's Slippery When Wet and 1988's New Jersey achieved multi-platinum status around the world. Their staying power since then has been a testament to their immense talent and ability to connect with audiences, along with an ever-increasing collection of hits.

This award-winning 2007 film was directed by Olivier Dahan and stars Marion Cotillard (who won the Best Actress Oscar for this role), Sylvie Testud, and Pascal Greggory. In it, a young girl lives through the most harrowing of childhoods, rejected by her mother, reared in a brothel, and then earning a meager crust by singing in the streets of Paris.

The child grows into a young woman; her talent as a street singer attracts a nightclub owner, who offers her a job. Her success is easily won, and easily lost. When her benefactor is found dead, the young singer feels she has lost everything. But no, this is merely the first act in her remarkable life. The abandoned street urchin would become that great singer, would live a life filled with joy and tragedy, and would die, burned out, wrecked by overwork, self-abuse and illness, at the age of 47. She was Edith Piaf, la Môme....

From his early taped speech pieces It's Gonna Rain (1965) and Come Out (1966) to his and video artist Beryl Korot's digital video opera Three Tales (2002), composer Steve Reich's path has embraced not only aspects of Western classical music, but the structures, harmonies, and rhythms of non-Western and American vernacular music, particularly jazz.

Beryl Korot is a pioneer of video installation art and has exhibited works in museums in Europe, the U.S. and Japan since 1974. Her recent collaborations with her husband, Steve Reich, have brought video installation art into the context of contemporary music theater.

In this second conversation in our Art + Invention series, we will explore two works produced by this creative husband and wife couple: The Cave (1990-93), a music theater video piece exploring the Biblical story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac and Three Tales, which presents three parables of technology run amok: the crash of the German airship Hindenburg, the testing of atomic bombs on Bikini Atoll, and a preview of a catastrophe to come in the birth of artificial intelligence and cloning.

Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most renowned—and daring—creative pioneers. Recognized worldwide as a leader in the use of technology in the arts, Anderson is known widely for her multimedia presentations, casting herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist.

In her new work, Delusion, which will debut at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and be presented by Stanford Lively Arts on May 5, Anderson explores sound and stories in a series of short plays. Using her inventions in vocal processing, signature violin pieces and lush sonic landscapes Anderson creates and inhabits imaginary worlds that become mental movies. Conceived as a ninety-minute technodrama, the new work combines technology, mystery and contemporary short stories in a unique new art form.

The idea of a micro-orchestra is to be at the cutting edge of the most experimental music from the 18th century. This group loves the fact that they can play big, fat-sounding pieces by Bach and Telemann with only a very few players, then, with exactly the same lineup, play intimate music by their pals.

This concert covers the gamut of virtuosity, including Rameau's brilliance in putting the harpsichord in the front line rather than at the back. And if you have ever thought that there is just too much singing in Handel's Messiah, you will really like this version for harpsichord alone, and the group doesn't mind if you hum along with your favorite bits.
