Pacific Chamber Symphony - Mozart & Bartok | |||||||||||||||
At the Bankhead Theater
|
Feb 8 Friday
|
Pacific Chamber Symphony - Mozart & Bartok Four of our principal winds display their virtuosic talents in W. A. Mozart’s joyous Sinfonia Concertante for oboe, clarinet, bassoon and french horn and orchestra. With this work Mozart takes the Baroque concerto grosso and brings it into the Classical period and style. Bela Bartok’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste was a ground
breaking work, breathtaking in its beauty and imaginative use of colors in
rendering the gypsy flair in music. Bartok’s work is a 20th Century take on
an approach similar to the concerto grosso in which the strings have evolved
to become equal partners with the solo instruments. Bartok emphasizes this
by listing the strings first in the title. |

Pleasanton Playhouse - Urinetown | |||||||||||||||
|
Feb 15-17 Feb 22-24 Feb 29, Mar1-2 Mar 7-9 Fri-Sun |
Pleasanton Playhouse - Urinetown One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, URINETOWN is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero, Bobby Strong (Danny Cozart) decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, URINETOWN is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, URINETOWN catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter. Also starring Steve Yates as Caldwell B. Cladwell , Allison Ward as Little Sally and Liz Caffrey as Hope Cladwell. The show is produced by Kathleen Breedveld and directed by Eric Neiman, with musical direction by Min Kahng, and choreography by Liz Caffrey.
