Schubert: The Sublime - Pacific Chamber Orchestra

Schubert: The Sublime - Pacific Chamber Orchestra
Ravel’s dreamy opening becomes lively and buoyant on the strings of a harp and ends in a delightful afternoon of musical conversation. Françaix begins his piece in the French countryside — tranquil, calm, relaxing strings. As Dixtuor closes, it’s as if birdcalls wake us for a brisk walk back to the city. Next, the exuberant opening in Shubert’s Octet moves into a silver-lined melody for the clarinet and continues through a walking-bass which lightens your heart; it ends on notes of jubilant delight. This piece demonstrates Schubert’s genius for translating the human experience of nature into music.

3rd Sunday of each month

Except May & December

 

 

Duarte Garage and Lincoln Highway Museum Open
The Duarte Garage was built in 1915 by F.H. Duarte on the original Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental U.S. Highway. When the Carquinez Bridge opened in 1927, the highway was re-routed. This section fronting the north doors was eventually renamed Portola Avenue. Junction Avenue originally ran past the south doors.

The garage sold Associated gasoline and oil products and also performed repairs. In 1923 the south half of the garage was added and became an automobile dealership, selling Durant Star and Flint models. Robert Livermore Jr. was one of the salesmen in the early 1920’s.

In the early 1940’s the garage was converted into a machine shop for rebuilding winery and farm equipment. During the 1970’s the City of Livermore purchased the Duarte Garage and surrounding land for use as a park (now adjacent east of the Garage and caretaker's home). The Livermore Heritage Guild signed a lease in 1976 to restore and maintain the garage for use as a museum.

The Annual Guild Dinner and Annual Auction are both held in the garage. The Auction in particular is a favorite for people from all around.
Sponsor: Livermore Heritage Guild
Location:  Duarte Garage;  Corner of Pine and North L streets.
Times:  10:00am to 2:00pm
Admission: Donations Appreciated.
