SSU Jazz Forum Lineup

Jazz Forum at SSU is a unique performance/master class designed to expose jazz majors & guests to a wide variety of jazz styles. Director of Jazz Studies Doug Liebinger hosts the event at 1pm in Green Music Center Room 1029, unless otherwise noted. All forum events are free & the community is invited to attend.

2/1
Wesla Whitfield and Mike Greensill - Warren Auditorium - Singer Wesla Whitfield inhabits that indeterminate zone where jazz & cabaret meet. Trained in classical music & opera, Whitfield has toiled for more than 3-decades to become one of the most gifted performers breathing life into that exquisite body of Broadway tunes, movie songs & Hit Parade numbers known collectively as the Great American Songbook. She appears at SSU with her husband/accompanist Mike Greensill for a special forum in Warren Auditorium.

2/8
The Holly Martins - The Holly Martins (named after the main character in the classic postwar film, The Third Man) is a trio of Bay Area musicians dedicated to exploring the boundaries of jazz-infused improvised music, but without the trappings of a traditional "rhythm section". This configuration requires each individual to simultaneously take on multiple roles typically assigned individual players (soloist versus accompanist), thereby promoting more open-ended explorations of the material. The trio features SSU saxophone instructor Kasey Knudsen, along with guitarist Eric Vogler and vocalist Lorin Benedict.

2/22
Ron Dziubla - Spring 2012 SSU jazz artist-in-residence Ron Dziubla performs w/ students & faculty on this special forum. A genre-breaking multi-instrumentalist, composer & educator. He is a fixture on the L.A. blues scene; he has toured with such high-profile acts as Ricky Martin, Duane Eddy, Royal Crown Revue, and Chayanne & his music has been featured on many soundtracks & tv shows. He has t3 critically acclaimed saxophone-driven instrumental CDs under his belt – his latest, “Ron Dziubla’s Nasty Habit,” was released last fall.

2/29
John Stowell/Mike Zilber Quartet/Trio - Veteran guitarist John Stowell is known for his groundbreaking duets with David Friesen & tours of Russia with Paul Horn; saxophonist Michael Zilber is known for his touring w/ Dave Liebman & Steve Smith & his work at the Berkeley Jazzschool. They join forces the Bay Area’s #1 call rhythm team of John Shifflett (bass) & Jason Lewis (drums) to mix free playing, transparent ECMish settings & more hard-charging modern jazz.

GMC 1029 is in Music Education Hall adjacent to the Green Music Center. Enter campus from Rohnert Park Expressway, proceed past the Joan & Sanford I. Weill Hall, turn right into Parking Lot L & go up the stairs to the double glass doors.

Parking passes: $2.50 for the day & may be obtained from the self-dispenser at the lot entrance, or from the Info booths at the campus entrances. Parking is free on weekends beginning at 5pm Friday.

1/13-2/12 - "The Drowsy Chaperone"
It all begins when a die-hard musical theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable & the music literally bursts to life in his living room. This all-singing, all-dancing, Tony Award-winning brassy Broadway musical is a sure-fire hit for those who love musical theater.

2/10-2/26 - "Proof"
On the eve of her 25th Birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now,over a long weekend following his death, she must deal w/ the discovery of a mysterious notebook & a disturbing question: how much of her father's madness-or genius will she inherit?

3/9-4/1 - "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof"
The stage classic by Tennessee Williams peeks in on Big Daddy's 65th Birthday! The mood is somber despite the festivities, as a number of evils poison the gaiety. Daughter-in-law Maggie's ingenuity, fortitude & passion just might retrieve her husband, Brick from his path of destruction.

A new visit w/ the female characters of 1 of America's greatest playwrights we see glimpses into William's own life as a son to a single mother & brother to a mentally disabled sister, and how some of his early women in his 1-act plays went on to mature into the most powerful matriarchs, sexually repressed ingenues, and tragic female victims of the American stage.

Sonoma Bach 2011-2012 Season Events

Sonoma Bach's 2nd full season features 11 performances, with special emphasis on the 16th & 17th centuries & several educational offerings for singers, dancers, instrumentalists & audience members alike.

Fall offerings begin with the annual opening recital, a concert of English music featuring local countertenor Christopher Fritzsche with Sonoma Bach's own Live Oak Baroque Orchestra (directed by Elizabeth Blumenstock). The annual Baroque collaboration with the Santa Rosa Symphony includes brilliant works by Bach & Handel, composed at the age of 22. December brings 2 linked concerts: Light Out of Darkness presents German Baroque music in memoriam, a perfect preparation for the Santa Rosa Symphony's production of Brahms' beloved Ein deutsches Requiem.

Spring includes appearances by celebrated Baroque violinists Stanley Ritchie & Elizabeth Blumenstock, as well as legendary violist da gamba Mary Springfels. In March, Sonoma Bach will take a walk outside the lines of the normal concert hall arrangement with Full of Bologna, mixing food, libations and extravagant Bolognese music. The season will close with the Sonoma Early Music Festival: Music Poetica, 4 concerts focusing on the early Baroque in German-speaking countries, including fantastic music by Biber, Schmelzer, Schütz, Schein 4 Michael Praetorius (among others).

A wide array of educational events for instrumentalists, singers & audience members will be offered. New this year is the Viol-Lab (exploration of repertoire & techniques for viola da gamba) & the Historical Dance class (6 entertaining & probably exhausting-sessions, each introducing a single period dance).

Single tickets (general admission) range from $18-$30, w/ discounts for seniors, students & groups.

All concerts at Wells Fargo Center, Santa Rosa. Prepare to get chills listening to the compelling, almost shamanistic power of baritone Jubilant Sykes. Not only will he sing some of the most moving spirituals in the repertoire, but he co-stars with soprano Karen Clift to lift Brahms' beloved Ein deutsches Requiem into the stratosphere. Three fine choirs, including our own Sonoma Bach Choir, join with the orchestra to present a masterpiece of exceptional warmth & comfort. Concert also includes Brahms' Tragic Overture.

The Wizard of Oz - Santa Rosa

The Wizard of Oz is performed by the Imaginists’ Project 104 ensemble.

“We have a lot of surprises in store,” says director and ensemble member Brent Lindsay. “You'll see an Oz that's a reflection of modern society, through a zoom lens 100 years deep. The gray dullness of Kansas is a hair's breadth from the kaleidoscope of Oz. Murder, savagery & slavery boil just below the surface, barely hidden by the characters' banter. The Imaginists' journey through Oz is part modern dance, part slap-stick, part comic book--a fairy tale & a magical flight.”

The show opens, March 2, 2012 & runs; March 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 2012. All performances at 8pm, Sundays at 5pm.

Book Signing - Redwood Empire Ice Arena

The book is semi-autobiographical as I was a single mom. My daughter & me did have an orange tabby. Unlike the single moms you see on TV where they are 6 digit figure incomes with fancy houses and their big complaint is the nanny quit or the house keeper didn't show up!!! I was a struggling single mom who's ex sent very little child support & we lived in an apt. In the story (vol 1) Sebastian is the greatest of all cats. In heaven he is in charge of the new arrivals in heaven. He teaches them how to use their angel wings & matches them with their human on earth or a foster family if their human has not arrived yet. There are parties & celebrations going on. The characters are mainly children & pets. These books are being written to give hope & encouragement to those who have a sick or dying child or pet. Hope that there is something better. Heaven is a place of happiness. I have many unique happenings going on. There is a library & Hootsie the Owl is in charge of it. Sebastian teaches the fish how to read & they even have water proof books!! Vol 1 has an Asian character & Vol 2 there will be an American Indian child & an Afro-American child. The book is about 50 pages & the pages are 8.5" x 11". The illustrations are beautiful & since the pages are large, you can see more details in the pictures. Book Signing: March 17th & 18th
