I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change -
Tri-Valley Repertory Theatre I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change the laugh-inducing, award-winning musical comedy about love in the suburbs is often described as "Seinfeld set to music".

The trials and tribulations of being single, dating, marriage, loss, and heartbreak and everything in the relationship process that you have ever secretly thought about, but were afraid to admit, are cleverly explored. It is hailed as the most "proposal-friendly" musical, as there have been 61 wedding proposals at the show, all of which resulted in yeses! Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro. |

Battlefield Band | |||||||||||||||

Battlefield Band Under the banner “Forward With Scotland’s Past,” Battlefield Band plays Scottish music of rare passion and joy. Inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength of today’s Scottish cultural scene, Battlefield Band mixes the old songs with new self-penned material, and performs them on a unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments – bagpipe, fiddle, synthesizer, guitar, cittern, flute, bodhran and accordion. Think you've heard Mozart's choral masterpiece "Requiem" before? Perhaps
at a performance years ago? Or was it while watching the Academy Award
winning film "Amadeus" which exposed Mozart's haunting "Requiem" to
thousands more people than ever before? It's less likely that you've heard the version the Valley Concert Chorale
will perform on March 7th at Livermore 's Bankhead Theater. What makes this performance of Requiem unique? The Chorale's Artistic
Director and Conductor John Emory Bush explains. "Mozart never finished the Requiem before his death," explains Bush. "The
version known to the general public was completed by Mozart's assistant
Franz Süssmayr. Many musicians have attempted to complete the Requiem as
Mozart would have intended, removing deficiencies introduced by Süssmayr. We
will perform the most recent completion by Robert Levin, a highly recognized
Mozart scholar and theorist, and professor of Humanities at Harvard
University ." The Levin version was premiered in August 1991, by Helmuth Rilling at the
European Music Festival in Stuttgart , Germany . That performance was met
with a standing ovation. So what specifically has changed with the Levin version? "The haunting and dramatic 'Lacrimosa' was retouched and now leads into a
non-modulating Amen fugue," says Bush. "And, there is a newly composed
'Hosanna' fugue, modeled after Mozart's C-minor Mass. Both are two excellent
examples of how Levin's version has created a unique and exciting Requiem." Accompanied by a full orchestra and professional soloists, with over 100
voices in the chorus, this performance is one not to miss. |
