"Love: Swingin' from the Heart!" with Janis Siegel and The Elliot Deutsch Big Band!
Over the past three decades, the voice of Janis Siegel, a nine-time Grammy winner and a seventeen-time Grammy nominee has been an undeniable force in The Manhattan Transfer’s diverse musical catalog. Alongside her career as a member of this 32-year musical institution, Siegel has also sustained a solo career that has spawned more than a half dozen finely-crafted solo albums and numerous collaborative projects, amassed a large international fan base and garnered consistently high critical praise.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1952, Siegel learned about the music business at an early age. By the time she was 12, she was singing with an all-girl pop trio called The Young Generation. By the time she and her bandmates had graduated from high school, they’d released two singles – “The Hideaway” (b/w “Hymn of Love”) on Red Bird Records, and “It’s Not Gonna Take Too Long” (b/w “Diggin’ You”) on Kapp Records.
The Elliot Deutsch Big Band is made up of seventeen of the finest young jazz musicians in the country. This equates to louder fortes, riskier solos, and a high energy that won’t quit.
LA Jazz Scene calls them “The Best New Jazz Orchestra in Southern California”.
You won’t want to miss this dynamic and totally entertaining event for the whole family!

Grady Champion's high-energy singing and harmonica playing, coupled with a creative update of the traditional blues lament, put him on the national touring blues map, and helped launch his career beyond the boundaries of his native Jackson, Mississippi. Starting his musical career in the early 1990s as a rapper named MC Gold, he changed his style when he discovered the Blues.
Immersing himself in the music of the major blues artists of the past, most notably Sonny Boy Williamson, whom he acknowledges as his greatest influence, Champion eventually became a stylish blues artist of note.
His revved-up, soulful vocalizing, and the charm and insight he brings to his songwriting, mark him as an important new talent.
Praised for their “joy of sheer technical ability, unanimity of phrasing and beautiful blended tone,” The Lincoln Trio has become Chicago’s most celebrated chamber ensemble. Formed in 2003, The Lincoln Trio – Desirée Ruhstrat, violin, David Cunliffe, cello and Marta Aznavoorian, piano – bring together performing experiences spanning the globe; each member is an artist of international renown.
The Trio's polished presentations of well-known chamber works and their ability to forge new paths with contemporary repertoire have led to the group's reputation as a first-rate ensemble.

For the audience, this creates more insight into the choreographic and performance process of a variety of dance styles and new dance works in progress.
DANCERS & CHOREOGRAPHERS: To sign up to participate and perform, please contact Peter G. Kalivas, Artistic Director, The PGK Project, 619.886.7924 or The PGKProject@aol.com.

"I see a different kind of discourse going on by taking away the fourth wall and losing that distance between the performer and the audience - which can be a 20-foot gap with an orchestra pit."
"In a more intimate space, the audience is remarkably close to the performance. That enables the audience to physically and visually experience the work in a whole new way."
Luna Negra’s distinctive style blends the discipline of ballet with the dynamic movements of contemporary dance, infused with the explosive energy of Latin and Afro-Caribbean dance forms.
Since 1999, Luna Negra has served as a springboard for Latino contemporary choreographers to give expression to their stories and bring new life to the cultures of their communities. In 2010, award-winning choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano succeeded Eduardo Vilaro as artistic director.
Celebrating the richness and diversity of Latino culture, Luna Negra Dance Theater has risen to the forefront of American contemporary dance.

HEART AND SOUL Presented by Golden Valley Music Society and Temecula Presents
The strings are the heart and soul of any orchestra, and this concert showcases ours. The Tchaikovsky and Elgar serenades conjure images of love and beauty.

This is a piece from the heart and so, I venture to say, it does not lack artistic worth.” Elgar's Introduction and Allegro uses a string quartet like a solo instrument performing with the larger section.

For almost 20 years, the red-hot Texas rockin’ blues of Smokin’ Joe Kubek and Bnois King – band mates and blood brothers – have been thrilling music fans from the smallest roadhouse to clubs and concert stages all over the country and around the world.
"Smokin'” he is with the technique and the chops to burn up any stage, and he’s been doing so for the past 30 years. Kubek explodes on stage with a blazing blues/rock style born from the guitar traditions of Texas. With a hollow body Gibson guitar, Bnois King finesses fat chords and belts out blues with his whisper-to-growl voice, his sound rooted in the deep jazz tradition of Louisiana. Together, they form a musically intuitive partnership.
