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.

Presenting the 2009-10 Evening of Cultural Arts Series, the nineteenth season of eclectic arts offerings at the intimate Sunnyvale Theatre. This year's theme celebrates "world talent in a neighborhood venue." With eight musically diverse programs, the upcoming season promises to deliver colorful cultures with genres including traditional American folk, Brazilian, Celtic, Tahitian, Chinese music and more.

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 multi-generational group, their repertoire includes something for everyone, from Miles Davis’ All Blues for jazz lovers to Stevie Wonder’s Overjoyed for R&B fans; from Toots and the Maytals reggae hit Pressure Drop to the hip hop chart topper The Way You Move by Big Boi of the duo OutKast. The LA Times called them “some of California’s most inventive singers” and Jazzweek called their arrangements “wildly imaginative.”

The Berlin-based Kuss Quartet won first prize at Deutschen Musikrat (2002) and Borciani competitions, and was the 2003 “Rising Stars” selection by the European Concert Hall Organization. Kuss has since been invited to such celebrated international concert halls and festivals as Carnegie, Concertgebouw, Wigmore, Edinburgh and Salzburg. They juxtapose and connect the new and classical, seeking to restore the string quartet to the cutting edge of cultural and compositional life.

Pianist Jon Nakamatsu draws unanimous praise as a true aristocrat of the keyboard, playing with elegance, clarity and electrifying power. He has had a brilliant recital and concerto career worldwide after winning the 1997 Van Cliburn Gold Medal, but we treasure his chamber music collaborations the most.

Two master innovators - jazz trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas and experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison - draw on the unique resources of Stanford University to create Spark of Being, a monumental work combining the screening of film with live musical performance (by Douglas’ electric band Keystone). This new work, commissioned by Lively Arts, and making its World Premiere in this performance, incorporates archival visual elements and newly developed sound components culled by Morrison and Douglas from the archives of the Cantor Center for the Arts, the Hoover Institution, CCRMA, and other sources on the Stanford campus.

Bill Morrison is best known for his film Decasia, a hypnotic collage of archival footage undergoing the process of decay. The Village Voice named Decasia one of its Top Ten Films of 2003. Dave Douglas is a DownBeat magazine Artist of the Year honoree and the Artistic Director of the Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music at the Banff Center. He has been a member of such celebrated ensembles as John Zorn’s Masada and the SFJAZZ Collective. His Grammy-nominated sextet Keystone combines electric jazz with electronica and other styles, and was formed specifically to perform new scores for classic films.

SuperStrings’ two annual concerts feature works for the orchestra as well as performances by these chamber ensembles. Program TBA.

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!

The Cypress String Quartet returns to Montalvo for its popular Salon Series. As part of the overall Villa Chamber Music Series, this group presents one of the most unique concert formats. Rather than a traditional classical chamber music concert of three works with an intermission, the Quartet features one work that the group discusses in depth and performs.

The Cypress String Quartet contextualizes the featured piece through musical examples, discussion and performances of additional single movements or short works. 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.

Today's program features Schubert's Cello Quintet with Associate Principal of the San Francisco Symphony, Amos Yang.

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.

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.

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.

Carl Maria von Weber, Overture to Oberon - MSCO begins with Carl Maria von Weber’s beautiful overture to his final opera Oberon, which begins the magical call from Oberon’s horn and leads to an exciting musical adventure Weber conducted the premiere of his opera Oberon in London on April 12, 1826, three days after completing the score. Hans Kindler conducted the National Symphony Orchestra's first performance of the Overture, on October 30, 1932. The score calls for flutes, oboes, clarinets and bassoons in pairs, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, and strings.

Caesar Franck, Faure Symphonic Variations for piano and orchestra (with Soloist Daniel Glover, Piano) - Franck’s work begins with a dramatic introduction that leads to a joyful conclusion. He began work in the summer of 1885, and completed it on December 12. In his ultimate, old master phase, Franck transformed everything he touched.

The strings open with a menacing dotted figure in unison, answered by the piano with a plaintively drooping phrase whose dialogue gives way to a second theme introduced by pizzicato woodwinds and strings. An appasionato development leads shortly to six seamless variations on the second theme through which the piano decorates, comments, alludes, and accompanies, as the mood shifts from triumphant assertion to mystical absorption and languishing, muted sighs. A sudden trill in both hands, two octaves apart, prompts the orchestra to begin the extensive, rhapsodic finale in which the thematic material of the preceding is wrought to an incandescent apotheosis. Without doubt, the irresistible, surefire breeziness of this finish has insured the Variations symphoniques first place in popularity among Franck's works.

Richard Strauss, Burlesque for piano and orchestra (with Soloist Daniel Glover, Piano) - The Burlesque in D minor for piano and orchestra (sometimes seen as Burlesque) was written by Richard Strauss in 1885-86, when he was 21. Its original title was Scherzo in D minor, and it was written for Hans von Bülow, who had appointed Strauss assistant conductor of the Meiningen Orchestra.

Strauss’s rambunctious and virtuosic Burlesque fully lives up to its name after beginning with a lively duet between piano and timpani. The piano then enters in a state of high excitement. A second, more lyrical Brahmsian theme, emerges, and this is followed by waltz-like measures not unlike the waltzes from Der Rosenkavalier. The work ends quietly, again on the timpani. The piece takes about 22 minutes to perform.

Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No. 5 - Our program concludes with MSCO’s first performance at these concerts of the original “victory” symphony, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor. The drama begins with the famous ta-ta-ta-TA motif at the beginning, and takes us through a wonderful range of moods and musical ideas before the triumphant conclusion that caused Beethoven to enlarge the orchestra by adding trombones in a symphony for the first time.

In the fall of 2008, ATCO/Atlantic Records unveiled a rather unlikely major label release. It was an album of Christmas music recorded by Straight No Chaser, a ten-member a cappella group that hadn't sung together since their college days a decade earlier. The result was a most improbable success story and a true musical phenomenon. Fueled by Straight No Chaser's appearances on The Today Show, ABC World News Tonight, and CNN Headline News, among others, Holiday Spirits spent fourteen days in the #1 slot on Amazon, and five days in the top spot overall on iTunes. On their first-ever headline tour in December 2008, Straight No Chaser sold out shows across the country, and their success continues.

ēthos is a groundbreaking guitar/cello ensemble formed by cellist Susan Millar and guitarist Theresa Calpotura. The duo formed in the year 2000 as the musical experimentation of two friends within the unique environment of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. The ensemble soon took on a life of its own despite the ostensible challenge of putting their instruments in combination. ēthos soon became a multi-faceted creative endeavor--striving to promote music as a global unifying force, utilizing and promoting a cross-cultural, cross-genre artistic fusion--promoting meaningful progress in art music. ēthos has worked with contemporary composers such as Bayani Mendoza de Leon, and has created their own arrangements of works in an effort to expand the repertoire for the untapped musical resource of the guitar/cello duo.

Recognized cellist Susan Millar was the 2008 first place winner of the National Academy Orchestra of Canada’s Concerto Competition. Ms. Millar has performed numerous solo and ensemble recitals throughout Canada and the US. Currently principal cellist of the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic, she has also been the principal cellist of the Indiana University Orchestra and Indiana University Philharmonic Orchestra. She was also a member of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, and has performed in other ensembles such as The Memphis Symphony Orchestra and The Tupelo Symphony Orchestra.

Rising guitarist Theresa Calpotura has performed in numerous venues throughout the US and the Philippines. She has won a number of awards from associations such as the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts and the American String Teachers Association, and received scholarships from the Oberlin Conservatory and the Yale School of Music. Ms. Calpotura studied with the renown guitar pedagogue Scott Cmiel of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory where she studied with versatile guitarist/composer Stephen Aron. She then continued at the Yale School of Music with guitarist/composer Benjamin Verdery. Ms. Calpotura has given masterclasses in the US and in the Philippines and is currently on faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Preparatory Division. Theresa recently released Kanta Filipina (VGo Recordings 2010), a premiere recording of original, arranged and transcribed Filipino songs for solo guitar in collaboration with Filipino composer Bayani Mendoza de Leon.

The Jon Rubin Group is as an acoustic string trio with Jon on guitar, Chris Will on bass, and special guest soloists Deanna Lynn on viola or Cal Keaoola on violin. The group’s genesis began in 2007 when Chris and Jon connected via an online musicians post, ‘Jorma seeks Jack’ (a reference to the Hot Tuna acoustic blues sound with its trademark tight interplay between fingerpicked guitar and bass). A year later Jon met a young, award-winning classical violist improvising fiddle lines in a bluegrass jam group in Monterey; and then a Grammy-credentialed classical/jazz violinist in SF. Since spring 2009 the group, with this basic lineup, have appeared regularly from the Central Coast to San Francisco, playing an original acoustic fusion sound combining folk, rock, blues, celtic, bluegrass, jazz and classical influences. The group blends improvisational virtuoso playing with real passion for the musical tradition and stories of their songs.

Grammy-nominated Vocal Pyrotechnians The Bobs bring their trademark musical acrobatics to Angelica's Bistro on June 6.

This is not your father's a cappella quartet!

With 14 CDs, 3 DVDs and a host of commericals and movies to their credit, The Bobs have garnered a healthy national cult following. Their most recent CD, Get Your Monkey Off My Dog, was named one of the Top 25 Independent CDs of 2008, and their penultimate recording, Rhapsody in Bob, which inspired a show that recently toured Fine Arts venues across the country, featured their critically acclaimed, truly unique arrangement of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with a guest pianist and The Bobs as a "Vocal Orchestra."

For thirty years, Riders In The Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre. And while remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life "The Cowboy Way!"

Riders In The Sky have been honored regularly. In addition to being inducted into the Grand Ol' Opry, Riders are in the Western Music Association's Hall of Fame, the Country Music Foundation's Walkway of Stars, and the Walk of Western Stars. They have won two Grammy Awards, have been the Western Music Association's "Entertainers Of the Year" six times, and won "Traditional Group of the Year" and "Traditional Album of the Year" multiple times. The Academy of Western Artists has named them "Western Music Group of the Year" twice in twice years, and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum has bestowed Riders with their Wrangler Award statuette three times. It comes as no surprise that Billboard magazine's Jim Bessman counts them as one of "the most historically significant acts in the history of American music."

Opera San Jose's season opens in September with uncommon fanfare as it proudly presents the West Coast premiere of an American composer's new work. Based on a great literary classic, David Carlson's extraordinary Anna Karenina is promising to become a classic for the opera stage, as well. This electrifying new American opera was welcomed by standing ovations at its world premiere at Florida Grand Opera in 2007 and again at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.

She's a lady... beautiful, wealthy, aristocratic. But Anna Karenina is also vulnerable... trapped in an unhappy marriage and caught in a rigid society that crushes anyone who does not follow the rules of the game. This deeply personal story follows an upper-class woman in 19th-century Russia through a loveless marriage, burning love affair, wrenching heartbreak, and finally, her sudden death. It is told with compassion, unsentimental observation, and ultimately, our horror at her inevitable violent end. Anna Karenina is at once new and familiar, brilliant and accessible.

She's a superstar... brilliant, beautiful, and spoiled. Yet Floria Tosca, despite her wealth and privilege, cannot save her aristocratic lover without consenting to debase herself. An opera diva as wildly popular in 1800 Rome as any rock or movie icon today, she finds that living for "art, love, and prayer" isn't enough to protect her in a society run by wicked, powerful men. She is a beauty pursued by a beast determined to have her, and killing her stalker - chief of the secret police, Baron Scarpia - still doesn't end her suffering. Suicide is her final act of defiance.

Tosca is, at first glance, an unlikely vehicle for Puccini. Murder, violence, and lust would seem to be unfamiliar themes for his typically tender, sentimental style. But his genius triumphs in this political thriller full of arias that are as dramatic and compelling as they are lyrical and heart-breaking. This is an opera where no one escapes death and destiny, yet, for most, their downfall is so powerfully poignant that, indeed, "the stars fall down."

She's a winner -- young, pretty, and resourceful. Against all odds, plucky Rosina succeeds in securing love and happiness. She's an orphan -- the ward of a silly codger who is plotting to marry her for her substantial dowry. And, she lives in 17th-century Seville -- a time and place not known for its kindliness toward women. But, Rosina has two things on her side. Figaro, a wily jack-of-all-trades, is her conniving accomplice; and her devoted young lover is actually a powerful, wealthy count instead of the poor student he pretends to be.

The Barber of Seville is fast and furious and fun, full of effervescent music and never-ending wit. It made Rossini world-famous and has become the most popular Italian comic opera of all time, a tuneful testament to all that's wonderful about the buffoonery in opera buffa.

She's a dreamer -- simple, sweet, and shy. She calls herself Mimì, even though it's not actually her name. She spends her days embroidering flowers and her nights longing for springtime. And she is very much alone and on her own. Literally in search of light - a match for her only candle - she, instead, finds happiness and friendship with a band of young Parisian bohemians. They include a handsome but insecure poet, a philosopher, a painter, a musician, and a good-time girl. Briefly, Mimì and Rodolfo make a place of love for themselves... until jealousy and poverty prevail. Eventually, she succumbs to tuberculosis - the scourge of the underclass - but she is never consumed by self-pity, and she dies surrounded by those who love her.

La Bohème is Puccini at his most tender and sympathetic. He loves these foolish young Parisians because he was once a struggling bohemian, just like them. He understands their happiness and pain, and he is never judgmental. His music pierces our hearts with its beauty and directness. For generations, La Bohème has been the best First Opera, the best Date Opera... and, for many, the Best Opera.

"...Avital's playing, which can be defined as 'everything you never dreamt a mandolin could do,' was truly breathtaking in virtuosity and dedication" - Noam Ben Ze'ev, Haaretz Daily, April 6, 2006

Avital has performed with orchestras around the world, including the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, I Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano (Italy), the Rostov State Theatre Orchestra (Russia), the Metropolis Ensemble (New York), the Israel Chamber Orchestra, and Orchestra Milano Classica. He has played under the baton of distinguished conductors such as Mastislav Rostropovitch, Asher Fisch, Phillip Entremont and Antonello Manacorda. Avi has recorded albums Sony Classical, Mode Records NY, and La Discantica.

Since 2004, he has performed regularly with the renowned clarinetist Giora Feidman, with whom he recently played in the International Youth Day, Koln, in the presence of the Pope Benedict the 16th. His playing can be heard in the Israeli Classical Music radio stations Kol Hamusica, RAI3 Italy, MDR and Bayern 4 in Germany and at the WQXR in New York, among others.

Presentation Repertory (PresRep) is a five week summer theatre program for boys and girls ages 12-17. In these five weeks, the students take classes such as acting, improvisation, dance, vocal technique, and technical theatre, as well as rehearse and perform two musicals. This year, the mainstage, full-scale musical is the Broadway hit Footloose, and the second is the original musical, Thespis & Company. Every student will receive roles in both shows.

Throughout the course of the five weeks, not only will the students learn about theatre and enhance their performing skills, they will learn team work, cooperation, leadership, and self-esteem. This fast-paced, high-energy program is always as rewarding as it is fun. The students make life-long friends with whom they get to cheer on and share their achievements; and there is no greater reward than getting to opening night and seeing what they have accomplished together. No previous theatre experience is necessary.

Bay Area Classical Harmonies presents the rarely performed Brockes Passion by G.F. Handel to celebrate the weekend of Palm Sunday. Barthold Heinrich Brockes published a German oratorio libretto on the setting of the Passion story. This work was one of the first Passion oratorios, a poetic meditation on the Passion story, without the use of an evangelist character.

Many baroque composers have written a Passion oratorio based on this setting, but the most famous setting is by G.F. Handel. Founder/director Andrew J. Chung will lead singers and musicians comprised of up and coming Bay Area musicians, along with professionals well known to local audiences.

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.

Jerome’s love of guitar began when, as a child, he first discovered the music of Chet Atkins in his homeland in southern France. His repertoire includes wondrous renditions of Atkins and Jerry Reed. His dexterity and speed on the instrument are dazzling. When you talk about a "French guitarist," you don’t immediately think of Nashville’s Chet Atkins or Jerry Reed. But Jerome Malaval, an accomplished guitarist who has mastered the intricate fingerpicking style of those American greats, is clearly a disciple of the Tennessee titan of the frets.

Studio legend Bennie Wallace, bassist Bob Cranshaw from the original Saturday Night Live band, to name a few. Among Adam’s musical innovations is the ability to play 2 simultanoeous melodies on the guitar and do hip-hop flavored “human beatbox” with his mouth at the same time. Some say that hIs solo version of Herbie Hancock’s Chameleon sounds like the “guitar-ist with 3 heads”. It has to be heard to be believed. His solo versions of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean and Stevie Wonder’s Superstition are his most popular and requested songs and can be heard on YouTube as well. Basslines, horn parts and vocals are replicated and the groove will make you jump out of your seat.

Improve your singing, enjoy an intimate performance, or both! Spend the day with acclaimed performer and vocal coach Ruth Gerson who, according to Stephen Holden of the New York Times, is a cross between Natalie Merchant and Patti Smith with a dash of the youthful Grace Slick thrown in for spice. Gerson has been teaching voice in New York City for eleven years. Her workshop will touch on many aspects of singing as well as performance issues and songwriting.

Later, she'll be performing a "Living Room Concert," the most up-close and intimate way to experience live music. Her concert will consist of songs from her critically acclaimed albums Fools & Kings, Wake To Echo, and her newest album, This Can't Be My Life, a moving album full of strong melodies, great vocal prowess and deeply personal lyrics. "With a voice that rises from tender endearments to a bluesy, impassioned growl, Ruth Gerson sings folk-rock songs that reach for the status of anthems; she's a Bob Dylan fan who can be as galvanic as Bruce Springsteen." - Jon Pareles, The New York Times.

The history of Rain actually predates the Broadway hit Beatlemania, from which Rain's all-star cast was recruited. When Dick Clark searched for the musicians to record the soundtrack for Birth of the Beatles, he didn't have to look much further than to this talented group. There are other acts who respectfully attempt to replicate a subset of the Beatles music, but only Rain can perform the full range of the Beatles discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that the Beatles themselves recorded in the studios but never performed for an audience. From the early days of their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964, through the Sgt. Pepper era and on to the Abbey Road years, Rain's performance captures it all flawlessly.

event Type: dance

Stomp is performed in theaters, but it is not a play, musical, or opera. It is not theater in the traditional sense of the word. There is no speech, dialogue or plot. However, it does have two characteristics of traditional theater: mime and characterization. Each performer has an individual character which is distinct from the others. These characters are brought out through the mime and dance in the show.

Stomp started out as two "buskers" on the streets of Brighton. Busking is the British term for a street performance where people are encouraged to stop, listen and watch. It is a very old custom, dating back to booth theaters erected at village fairs in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The street busker of today also echoes back to the wandering minstrel of the medieval fair. Thus, it seems that Stomp's roots are in theatre, but can it really be called "theater"?

The entire show is highly choreographed, interweaving dance into all of its aspects. In Stomp, there is a symbiotic relationship between dance and music. The music is created within the dance, but the dance itself is dependent on the music for its rhythm and character. Stomp shows a true marriage of movement and music, where both create and enhance each other.

This exciting event celebrates the incomparable thrill, soaring beauty, and unrivaled power of treble voices united in song. The Peninsula Women's Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Martin Benvenuto, will partner with San Francisco based professional chorus Volti, the Piedmont East Bay Children's Choir Ensemble and Ancora, under the direction of Robert Geary. These choruses will present an afternoon of new music especially created for the unique sound of upper voices. The selections range from a multi-chorus mass piece to a fantastical Spanish fairytale and a song about modern female swashbucklers.

The Peninsula Women's Chorus, well known for its vibrant, compelling performances and dedication to musical excellence, is also committed to community outreach and the support of music programs for our local youth. This season, the chorus introduces its inaugural Mentorship Program (PWCMP). The program is open to high school girls with choral experience and a passion for learning new, advanced and innovative vocal literature. Each auditioned student is mentored by a PWC singer, attending rehearsals and offering them a unique opportunity to work with one of the best women's choruses in the country. Participation in this year's New Music for Treble Voices festival marks the culmination of the project.

Rebecca Wallace of the Palo Alto Weekly has written about the PWC, "...the sounds blended so purely, with such power and control." This April, welcome spring and experience the unique, uplifting experience of this dynamic treble voice festival.

When one thinks of the Hammond Organ, one name comes to mind - James Oscar Smith or simply, Jimmy Smith. During the '50's and '60's, he revolutionized the way the organ was played and heard. Nearly all organists of past and present are descendants of his style. During his career he played with several of the best musicians including Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, and George Benson and he released several influential recordings including Back at the Chicken Shack and The Sermon. On May 23rd, Hammond Endorsed artist, Brian Ho, will lead a tribute to this wonderful musician.

Brian solos and comps with his right hand while his left hand and feet play organ bass in the same tradition as the organ pioneers. In this concert, his group will take you on a journey through several of Jimmy Smith's famous compositions as well several of his own originals and arrangements of some standards that will pay homage to the organist. As always, he will continue to expand on the legendary sound of jazz with elements of funk, blues, hip-hop, and soul.

Three other musicians will join him that night including two musicians with a direct lineage to Jimmy. Calvin Keys will play guitar. He has played with several of the organ greats including Jimmy Mc Griff, Jack Mc Duff, Groove Holmes, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and of course, Jimmy Smith. Drummer Lorca Hart's father, Billy Hart, played and recorded with Jimmy Smith. Lorca is paving his own legacy as his energetic and infectious grooves have led him to touring and recording dates with the Clayton Brothers, Anthony Wilson, and Julian Lodge. All organ players have a saxophone partner and Jimmy Smith had Stanley Turrentine. Thus, Brian has Oscar Pangilinan. He is one of the rising stars of the jazz scene as he solos and channels his idols Cannonball Adderly and modern saxophonists such as John Ellis. He plays extensively with John Worley, the SJ Jazz Orchestra, and studied with Kristen Strom.

Based in downtown San Jose, The Jazz Mechanics have emerged from their machine shop, crafting a new modern voice in Jazz. This hopped-up trio expands the genre of improvisational music, performing largely original compositions that draw on a variety of influences including bebop jazz, R&B grooves and Balkan melodies. Laying down the foundation for the band's hard hitting force and reinventing the role of acoustic bass, is bass player and composer Endika. On keys is Brian Ho, who is also the leader of the funky Brian Ho Quartet. Back on the traps, and down in the grease pit, drummer Michael Brilliot brings a rhythmic toolbox to the band that is grounded in diversity of styles, from jazz and New Orleans based funk and rhythm and blues to roots rock and country.

Together, these three Jazz Mechanics are a finely tuned jazz machine that infuse rock and roll energy into their performances and draw the audience in for a rich and dynamic experience.
