CAMA 1819 – Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra 3/9

by Gina Graham
June 5, 2018
Elisa Citterio, Director
Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House
Conceived, programmed, and scripted by Alison Mackay
 

It’s 1740, and coffee houses are the places to listen to music and share stories, in both the famous trading center of Leipzig and one of the oldest cities in the world, Damascus. The latest Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra multi-media musical offering Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee Houseilluminates each city’s striking features in common: both enjoyed a lively tradition of coffee houses in which the finest musicians of the city performed and both were also famous centers of scholarship and learning. Anyone who has attended one of Tafelmusik’s three previous multi-media concert projects at the Lobero in the past decade (The Galileo Project, House of Dreams or J.S Bach: The Circle of Creation) can attest to the incredible originality and conception of their insightful musical stage creations that combine live music, text and stunning projections transporting the audience back in time and place. Not to be missed!

 
 
“One of the world’s top baroque orchestras.”

by Gina Graham
June 5, 2018

Over the past five decades, Richard Goode has been hailed for music-making of tremendous emotional power, depth, and expressiveness and acknowledged as one of the world’s leading interpreters of Classical and Romantic piano music. In regular performances with the major orchestras, recitals in the world’s music capitals and through his extensive and acclaimed Nonesuch recordings, he has won a large and devoted following. His Lobero recital will be his 4th CAMA appearance and will traverse more than a century of keyboard music from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin to Janáček’s ravishing early 20th Century piano cycle In the Mists.

PROGRAM:

Franz Joseph Haydn: Variations in F minor, Hob.XVII:6
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: March in C Major, K.408
Mozart: Allemande in C minor, K.399ii
Mozart: Courante in E-flat Major, K.399iii
Mozart: Menuet in D Major, K.355
Mozart: Gigue in G Major, K.574

Frédéric Chopin: Impromptu in G-flat Major, Op.51, No.3
Chopin: Four Mazurkas
Chopin: Fantaisie in F minor, Op.49
 
 
 
“It is virtually impossible to walk away from one of Mr. Goode’s recitals without the sense of having gained some new insight, subtle or otherwise, into the works he played or about pianism itself.”
– The New York Times

CAMA 1819 – Mischa Maisky, cello 5/6

by Gina Graham
June 5, 2018

Lauded by The Guardian for his “dazzling precision, fleet brilliance, and tender lyricism”, Latvian-born Israeli cello master Mischa Maisky is considered by many worldwide to be one of the handful of greatest living cellists. He has the distinction of being the only cellist in the world to have studied with both Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky and to carry on the deep musical legacy of these two great 20th Century Russian masters of the cello. His romantic emotion and absolute musical commitment carry the command of a true artist. It is fitting that Mischa Maisky will return by popular demand to the historic Lobero for the closing recital of CAMA’s historic 100th Concert Season.

PROGRAM:

Robert Schumann: Five Pieces in the Folk Style, Op.102
Johannes Brahms: Cello Sonata No.2 in F major, Op.99
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Mélodie in E major, Op.3, No.3 (transcription by Mischa Maisky)
Rachmaninoff: Vocalise, Op.34, No.14
Rachmaninoff: Elégie, Op.3, No.1 (transcription by Mischa Maisky)
Dmitri Shostakovich: Cello Sonata in D minor, Op.40 (1934)
 
 
 
“Maisky demonstrates a natural feeling for this colorful music and his resonant tone is enhanced by the most subtle control of light and shade…an admirably matched father-and-daughter duo.”
– Gramophone

I’m With Her

by Genevieve Rhiger
June 4, 2018

A band of extraordinary chemistry and exquisite musicianship, I’m With Her features Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O’Donovan. Collectively, the multi-Grammy-Award-winners have released seven solo efforts, co-founded two seminal bands (Nickel Creek and Crooked Still), and contributed to critically acclaimed albums from a host of esteemed artists. But from its very first moments, their full-length debut See You Around reveals the commitment to creating a wholly unified band sound. With each track born from close songwriting collaboration, I’m With Her builds an ineffable magic from their fine-spun narratives and breathtaking harmonies. The result is an album both emotionally raw and intricate, revealing layers of meaning and insight within even the most starkly adorned track.

With its piercingly lyricism, See You Around also finds I’m With Her showing the uncompromising honesty of their songwriting. That intensity is heightened by the band’s effortless harmonizing, which the New York Times has praised as “sweetly ethereal, or as tightly in tandem as country sibling teams like the Everly Brothers, or as hearty as mountain gospel.”

Puddles Pity Party

by Genevieve Rhiger
May 21, 2018

The ‘Sad Clown with the Golden Voice’ is here with his heartfelt anthems and a suitcase full of Kleenex! This Pity Party is not all sadness and longing. The show is peppered with a brilliant sense of the absurd, mixing lots of humor with the awkward, tender moments. 

A veritable “Pagliacci by way of Pee-Wee Herman and David Lynch” (The AJC), Puddles Pity Party has 286k fans on Facebook and over 76 million views on YouTube for indelible interpretations of classics by ABBA, Bowie, Cheap Trick and Queen and his unforgettable mash-up of “Pinball Wizard/Folsom Prison Blues”. You may recognize him from his recent appearances on America’s Got Talent and video collaborations with Postmodern Jukebox. Puddles has toured extensively in the US at legendary venues like the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, the Kennedy Center in D.C. and the Troubadour in Los Angeles. He has also performed many times in the UK at Soho Theatre London and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Other worldwide festival appearances include the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Perth Fringe World, Melbourne International Comedy Fest, Just for Laughs Montreal, Belgium’s Gent Festival, Festival Supreme (LA), Bumbershoot Festival (Seattle), Moontower Comedy Festival (Austin), and Bethlehem’s MusikFest.

“It seems like a parody. But when Puddles opens his mouth to sing, it’s beautiful. Operatic.”
– The Boston Globe

“Fantastically brilliant…originality at its best.” 
– Simon Cowell

“His special effect is a textured voice laced with melancholy…what makes him transcend the trope is his vulnerability.” 
– The New York Times

“Clever and often hysterically funny… (Puddles) is ideally suited to songs popularized by belters old and new like Tom Jones, Sia and Celine Dion, all of which he performs with tear-jerking bravura…” 
– LA Weekly

“Pagliacci by way of Pee-Wee Herman and David Lynch.” 
– The Atlanta Journal Constitution

Danceworks 2018

by Genevieve Rhiger
May 15, 2018

To celebrate DANCEworks landmark tenth Anniversary Season, we’ve invited DANCEworks talented cast of choreographers back to the Lobero to perform after the world premiere from Doug Elkins Choreography, etc. You won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime event with such important names in the world of contemporary dance who have all left their mark on our city. 

Performing first is the inventive Doug Elkins choreography, etc.–who has been hailed by The New York Times as, “one of the most musical, witty and inventive choreographers of his generation.”

Nine new and important works of modern dance have been created on the boards of the Lobero stage and gone on to tour extensively–nationally and abroad–significantly impacting the careers of the notable choreographers at the helm. DANCEworks’ focus has always been on pushing the art form and contributing to the larger world of contemporary dance, and the critics agree that the sustained time and space awarded to these choreographers has been nothing short of life-altering.

[loberoquote color=”darkgray” align=”right”] “There’s something WILD happening in Santa Barbara you gotta get your tickets now. Not only is Doug Elkins premiering a new dance but all the former DANCEworls choreographers will be performing or presenting solos.

Where else can you see Mark Dendy, Brian Brooks, Kate Weare, VIM VIGOR, Larry Keigwin, Doug Varone, Aszure Barton, and Adam Barruch, all in one night on the same stage?

WHY? They are celebrating 10 years of kick-ass dance! ” – Larry Keigwin, Choreographer & Artistic Director, KEIGWIN + COMPANY
