International Guitar Night | ||||||||||||||||||||||

March 4 Fri
|
International Guitar Night Originally from Winnipeg, Jocelyn Gould first studied voice and piano, as well as science, before following in her parent’s footsteps to take up the guitar. Since earning her Master’s degree in Jazz Studies from Michigan State University, she has pursued an international performance career at prestigious festivals and clubs worldwide. She currently holds the guitar chair of Detroit’s big band, The Gathering Orchestra, and in 2018, won first place in the Wilson International Jazz Guitar Competition. Stephanie Jones, a soloist and chamber musician, is the recipient of numerous awards including 2014’s Young Virtuoso of the Year through the Fine Music Network National Competition, and first prize in both the Uppsala International Guitar Festival Competition and the Hannabach Guitar Competition. She has released two albums, “Colours of Spain” (2015), and “Bach, the Fly, and the Microphone” (2009) and, as a member of the renowned Weimar Guitar Quartet, will perform on their debut album this year. Alexandr Misko is a dazzling new breed of modern fingerstyle guitarist. The 21-year-old Russian performs in concerts all over the world and appears often on television in his homeland and other countries. He has achieved worldwide fame and over a million followers on YouTube since his original tune “Guitar & Pen Tapping Song” became popular. Since 2016 he has released three studio albums and was named the “Guitarist of the Year” at the prestigious UK Guitar Show in 2018. A guitar virtuoso with unmistakable roots, Lulo Reinhardt built on his
legendary grand-uncle Django’s passionate style of Gypsy Jazz to create his
own unique Latin swing style. As a young man, Lulo’s interest in flamenco
roots music took him to southern Spain and to South America, where his
fascination for Latin music soon emerged in his now trademark swing-infused
jazz style. He played for decades in his family’s band before starting his
own in 2002 to perform only his own original compositions. Lulo has released
three solo albums, as well as numerous collaborative recordings. Before
serving as host for IGN, he appeared previously as a soloist on multiple
tours.

The Everly Brothers Experiences ft. The Zmed
Brothers The Everlys bridged country and rock with countless classics like Wake Up Little Susie, All I Have To Do Is Dream, Bird Dog, Cathy’s Clown, When Will I Be Loved and Bye Bye Love… plus they inspired groundbreaking groups like The Beatles, The Kinks, Buddy Holly and Simon & Garfunkel. The Zmed brothers skillfully cover the Everly Brothers with a bit of their own trademark style mixed in. The Zmed brothers, Zachary and Dylan, bring a genuine and youthful Everly
Brothers experience to the stage. Celebrating the genetic intimacy so ever
present in the harmonies created by Don and Phil Everly. When the guitar
became electric, the Everly Brothers bridged the gap between Country and
Rock n Roll with countless hits and classics. The Everly Brothers inspired
bands like The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Kinks, Buddy Holly, and
many groups that utilize the blend of two part harmony. Their career spanned
three decades and continue to influence artists around the world. |

Livermore Valley Opera - Otello | ||||||||||||||||||||||
March 5, 6, 12, 13 |
Livermore Valley Opera - Otello In his penultimate opera, Verdi brings to life Shakespeare’s tragic tale of the moor Otello, his beloved Desdemonda, and the melvolent Iago. Conducted by Alexander Katsman and staged by Candace Evans. The production will feature the return of bass-baritone Philip Skinner in the role of Iago, tenor Limmie Pulliam as Otello, and soprano Elaine Alvarez as Desdemona. LVO presents Verdi’s OTELLO in an ambitious production worthy of our
return to the Bankhead stage. The crowning work of a master composer at the
peak of his creative powers, OTELLO is arguably Verdi’s greatest operatic
achievement. Verdi’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragic story of jealousy
and rage is an opera that ranks among his most demanding, both vocally and
dramatically. This production will do justice to Verdi’s tour de force and
will be an experience not to be missed.

Bessie, Billie and Nina “Bessie, Billie & Nina: Pioneering Women in Jazz” features three dynamic vocalists, each a rising star in her own right: Charenée Wade and Camille Thurman, both regular performers with Jazz at Lincoln Center, and Tahira Clayton, co-leader of the Women in Jazz Organization. Backed by an all-female band, the three celebrate the enduring legacies of these iconic women and artists with unforgettable performances of their classic songs, including Bessie Smith’s “Downhearted Blues,” Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit,” and Nina Simone’s “Mississippi Goddam.” The musical and social legacies of Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, and Nina
Simone remain as relevant as ever. Their contributions resonate with today’s
artists across many genres, as well as with ongoing movements toward
progress and equality for women, African-Americans, and the LGBTQ community.
The rich music of “Billie, Bessie & Nina” will entertain, inspire, and
empower audiences during this pivotal time in our own history.
