Jerry Douglas Band with special guest Maura O’Connell

by Gina Graham
July 26, 2016

Dobro master and 14-time GRAMMY® winner Jerry Douglas is to the resonator guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar: elevating, transforming, and reinventing the instrument in countless ways. Since 1998, he’s been a key member of “Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas”, touring extensively, and co-producing and playing on a series of platinum albums with Garth Brooks, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Elvis Costello, Earl Scruggs, and Ray Charles, among many others.

Maura O’Connell has made a name for herself on two continents as a superb singer. O’Connell’s restless muse could not be safely contained under the banner of Celtic music, and she soon discovered both an interest in and affinity for progressive American roots music.

SBCO – Feb 14 – Romance at the Museum

by Genevieve Rhiger
July 20, 2016

Often cited as the most popular song cycle in Western art music, Robert Schumann’s exquisite Dichterliebe fairly bursts with emotion, its tunefulness and lyricism as affecting as they are accessible. It’s the perfect musical selection for Valentine’s Day, made all the more special on this occasion by a turn on viola by Maestro Ohyama. Rounding out the evening is Felix Mendelssohn’s delightful Piano Quartet No. 2 in F minor – completed when the precocious composer was all of 14 years old.

Maestro Ohyama has served as the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra’s music director and conductor for more than three decades, and has held prominent conducting positions elsewhere, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic. It was as a violist of extraordinary grace and finesse that he first made a name for himself, however. Come hear this legendary performer take up the instrument that first brought him fame. This performance is part of a continued collaboration with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

Wine and chocolate reception included with ticket begins at 6:30pm at the museum.

Program:

Schumann       Dichterliebe, Op. 48 “A Poet’s Love” (arr. for viola and piano)

Mendelssohn   Piano Quartet No. 2 in F minor, Op. 2

Kerrilee Gore, Eight & One Productions, and Zen Arts present When The Lights Go Out: An Immersive Theatrical Experience for four spellbinding performances October 20-22. Lights Out, created by Kerrilee Gore is an innovative theatrical experience onstage at the Lobero Theatre featuring immersive elements of cabaret, multi-media and acrobatics from some of Los Angeles’ top choreographers and creative minds. It’s what happens inside our dreams, between the sheets, and the secrets that we keep… The Santa Barbara Independent praised of the show’s previous engagement, saying, “There’s no limit set on where the night can go.” Seating is limited.

“In a theater scene that’s often defined by what’s been done before, When the Lights Go Out stands alone as a true departure from the norm.” – Santa Barbara Independent
