The band is followed by a wide array of holiday inspired entries including Pleasanton’s own Balloon Platoon, the Pleasanton City Council, hundreds of Cub Scouts and Brownies, local car clubs, performing arts groups, and much more. Main Street will close to vehicular traffic at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 7. Parade viewers are encouraged to shop and dine in historic Downtown Pleasanton after staking out their viewing turf.

implemented and updated each hour after 2:30 p.m. on parade day, December 7.

A Heavenly Life - Livermore-Amador Symphony - Mozart: Exsultate, Jubilate Mahler Symphony No. 4 Emily Helenbrook, soprano soloist Begin your holiday season with the radiant, sunny optimism of musical giants Mozart and Mahler as we present two joyful works featuring the beautiful voice of a rising star, Emily Helenbrook. Mozart’s Exsultate, Jubilate urges us to raise our voices in joyful exuberance, and with the jingle of sleigh bells, Mahler’s glorious Symphony No. 4 invites us to leave our worldly cares behind and opens the gates of heaven. ArtVoice raved about “the fresh young singer, Emily Helenbrook...the angelically voiced soprano....” after she performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic in 2015. A senior at the Eastman School of Music, Helenbrook won an Art Leadership Award in 2015 and the Annabel Muenter Vocal Prize in the 2016 Friends of Eastman Opera Voice Competition.

Nell Robinson & Jim Nunally Band The Nell Robinson & Jim Nunally Band have released two of their four new albums due out this year, West and East, soon to be followed by North and South. These five-song EPs are named after the cardinal points on a compass – North, South, East, and West – their U.S. tour dates will coincide with the appropriate regions throughout 2016. When placed together, the back covers of the four releases will form one piece of art. Physical copies will be available for only $5 at all live shows, with digital release via iTunes and Amazon coming soon. “We are excited about releasing a series of eclectic new works with a
super talented band,” says Jim Nunally. “We pay homage to great artists like
George Jones, Buck Owens, Tammy Wynette, while our original songs like
‘Mirror’ take folk music in an entirely new direction. We aren’t just
following a path; we are paving a new one.”

Dec 7 Wed

Mount Diablo Beacon Lit Once a year, on December 7th, the Mt. Diablo beacon is lit and shines over a wide area from around sunset until around sunrise the next day. A ceremony is held in which several Pearl Harbor survivors will speak of their experiences. Afterwards they will together push a button that lights the beacon. The Beacon can be seen from throughout the area, and will remain lit all night. The ceremony was formerly held at the Summit Building at Mount Diablo but has been held at the Cal State East Bay Concord Campus since 2013 due to the larger venue and weather issues. The beacon was overhauled and restored in 2013 thanks to efforts of Save Mount Diablo. eLivermore.com has photographed the event from 2010 to
2013. See photos here. |
