RBUHS BAND SALUTE TONIGHT Tehama Concert Series has recently announced the lineup of national and inter- national artists performing in Red Bluff as part of the group's 2014-2015 season. "Since 1938, our organiza- tion has brought a wide vari- ety of top-quality entertain- ment to Red Bluff," said Mar- vin Locke, president of the local non-profit that pres- ents the series. "With this coming season, we carry on that great tradition." Early-bird season ticket pricing is $50 for adults and $15 for students younger than 25. The $115 family package includes two adults and any number of students living at home. Prices go up after May 31. Each season ticket grants admission to all six of the following concerts: Vivace–Sep.25 Vivace is an operatic pop vocal quartet based in Van- couver, Canada. They have toured extensively through the US and Canada and per- formed at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Vivace is a powerful and stirring vocal quartet. Each singer brings a particular element to the group. Combined, they turn out a rich and colorful blend of sound that is exclusively their own. Vivace has a di- verse and deep repertoire, ranging from pop, to arias, to their own self-written ma- terial. Paul Posnak – Oct. 22 Pianist Dr. Paul Posnak is noted for playing both twen- tieth-century American mu- sic and European romantic classics. His transcriptions of the original improvisa- tions of Gershwin, "Fats" Waller, and "Jelly Roll" Morton have gained him in- ternational attention. He presents these jazz classics alongside the works of Cho- pin, Rachmaninoff, and De- bussy. Since 2005, Dr. Pos- nak has served as a judge for the Grammy Awards. He will be performing on the State Theatre's new 7-foot Schim- mel grand piano. North State Symphony Holiday Concert – Dec. 13 The North State Sym- phony's Baroque Ensem- ble, a sub-group of the full symphony, performs special Christmas music each year at the State Theatre in Red Bluff. Metales M5 – Feb. 10, 2015 Since its founding in 2005 in Morelia, Michoacán, these five gentlemen have been playing a wide variety of mu- sic without regard to genre: baroque and contemporary music, opera and blues, pop, movie soundtracks, and folk music from Spain, Mexico, and other Latin American countries. Combining their skills at fine classical cham- ber music, non-stop inter- action with the audience, inborn showmanship, and their inimitable Latin Amer- ican charm, M5 concerts are unique musical-theatrical experiences. Quartetto Gelato – April 9, 2015 For two decades, this en- semble has enchanted au- diences and critics world- wide with their exotic blend of musical virtuosity, artis- tic passion, and humor. Clas- sical in training, eclectic by design – Quartetto Gelato not only thrills its audiences with its multi-instrument mastery, but also offers the bonus of a brilliant oper- atic tenor. With a repertoire that spans the globe, includ- ing classical masterworks, operatic arias, the sizzling energy of tangos, gypsy and folk songs, the group's theat- rical stage presence and re- laxed humor establishes an intimate rapport with audi- ences worldwide. Anthony Kearns – May 9, 2015 World-renowned tenor Anthony Kearns took the American television audi- ence by storm in 1999 as part of PBS's popular group, The Irish Tenors. Acknowledged as Ire- land's finest tenor at the Dublin National Concert Hall's Silver Jubilee in 2006, Kearns is a respected am- bassador of Ireland and has presented the music of his homeland across the globe. As a soloist, Kearns' perfor- mances draw from a wide variety of opera, folk music, and international favorites. The Tehama Concert Se- ries is presented entirely by volunteers. "We're always looking for new community advocates to help us get the word out about these great performances," said mem- bership chairwoman Jenni- fer Stetson.

TEHAMA CONCERTS Acclaimed musicians to perform in Red Bluff CONTRIBUTED PHOTO ILLUSTRATION Early bird tickets are available now for the 2014-2015Tehama Concert Series. Prices go up a er May 31. Online: TehamaCon- certSeries.org. "Resound," is individual and collaborative works by the Spring 2014 Sound Art class, taught by instruc- tors Sheri Simons and Da- vid Dvorin. On display Friday through Sunday, Chico Museum will be showcasing original pieces by students that uti- lize sound as a material, and likewise use art as a vehicle integral to hearing or listen- ing, blurring the boundaries of each area. Students from both the Departments of Art and Music have worked for the last 15 weeks investigating the overlap between the two areas, exploring acoustics and design principals, excit- ing and resonating objects, building microphones, and experimenting with wire- less sensors and processing software. "I can't wait for the pub- lic to see what we've been up to," said Dvorin. "Many of the works pre- sented will be interactive and trigger sounds when moved or touched, involving participation that is unique to the domain of sound art." "This should be a unique exhibit for the Chico area and we are overjoyed that Chico Museum expressed great interest in having us display in their gallery," said Simons. "This is a special opportu- nity for people to come and explore expressive works that involve and evolve both disciplines."
