REDDING » Simpson Univer- sity music professor Dwayne Corbin will serve as resident conductor of the North State Symphony while the organi - zation transitions to a new director, the symphony board announced. "As the symphony board looks towards a new music director taking the helm in the fall of 2015, they recog - nized that there would be events that would require a conductor who is not a candi- date for the position," states an article in the symphony's March e-newsletter. "The NSS Board has appointed Dwayne Corbin its 'resi- dent conductor' in order to fill these voids and give con- tinuity to the orchestra dur- ing this time of transition." As resident conductor, Corbin will lead secondary- level concerts and be on call to fill in for rehearsals as needed, among other tasks. He has already been unoffi - cially functioning in this role during the 2013-'14 season, including planning and con- ducting the symphony's hol- iday concerts. "The December concerts were a thrill: it's a real plea- sure to work with North- ern California's finest musi- cians," Corbin said. "I have great respect for my col- leagues and am honored to lead them in rehearsals or concerts." Corbin, who holds a doc - toral degree in conducting from the University of Cin- cinnati Conservatory of Mu- sic, will retain his position of principal percussionist with the symphony, a role he has held since 2006. An award-winning com - poser and associate profes- sor of instrumental music at Simpson University, he is also conductor/music direc- tor of the Shasta Symphony Orchestra (a cooperative ensemble between Simpson University and Shasta Com - munity College), and a reg- ular presenter of jazz and classical recitals. During the North State Symphony's search process, conductors who have applied for the music director posi - tion being vacated by Kyle Wiley Pickett will lead the orchestra concerts. "The 2014-15 season will be a thrilling time when the audience will see a differ - ent conductor for every con- cert," Corbin said. "I'm look- ing forward to being a part of the team that will bring these shows to life."

Nut FEstIVaL Mu si ca l li ne up s et The Associated Press Los aNGELEs » Diego Lu- na's heartfelt biographi- cal drama, "Cesar Chavez," chronicles the f ive-year struggle of the United Farm Workers co -founder in the 1960s to get California grape growers to the nego - tiating table to hammer out fair wages and better condi- tions for exploited field la- borers. It's a stirring story of a real-life fight for social justice, and clearly a pas- sion project for the Mexi- can actor-turned-director. But while the film's old-fash- ioned virtues and the integ- rity of its subject matter give it some traction, pedestrian handling, a lumpy script and some significant miscast - ing mean it only occasion- ally summons the dramatic power to match the events it depicts. The choppy screenplay lurches through intimate scenes, agitated meetings and violent clashes with the same by-the-numbers approach, never solidifying the narrative arc or pausing long enough for character development. bIoGRaphy Review: 'Chavez' gives leader routine treatment I-5 at Liberal Avenue in Corning | 530 528-3500 | www.rollinghillscasino.com New Member Throughout the month of march All new members will receive $15 free slot play Fish Frenzy Fish Frenzy Friday s Friday s Every Friday in March & April 365 S.
