The best-selling au- thor of the books follow- ing the romance of billion- aire Gideon Cross and Eva Trammell is an executive consultant on the TV se- ries optioned by Lionsgate Television. She says she's in frequent contact with producers and will be on the set for filming, add- ing, "It's like I'm the read- ers' voice" as the books are transformed for tele- vision. Producers want to air the series on a premium cable network or a sub- scriber service like Netflix or Amazon Instant Video. AUTHOR Sylvia Day fan advocate in TV's 'Crossfire' series By Verda Mackay Correspondent CHICO Each holiday sea- son, Christmas music from classic to comic is presented by Chico State University's Department of Music and Theater. Appreciative audi- ences thrill to joyous music without intermission or ap- plause, until a splendid fi- nale generates a standing ovation. Under the direction of concert coordinators and professors Royce Tevis and David Scholz, this 15th year of "Glorious Sounds of the Season" promises plenty of cheer for music lovers of all ages. Performances start at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7, at the Harlen Adams Theater. Tickets cost $20. Proceeds from the con- cert help support music and theater scholarships for Chico State students. Performers include Chico State Choral Ensembles, Symphonic Wind Ensem- ble, Jazz X-Press, chamber and theater ensembles, so- loists and readers. "We also have several small groups perform," Scholz said. "A saxophone quartet, a low brass choir and a string ensemble. We go from piece to piece with- out a break. We hold it to 30 different acts, about three minutes apiece. This makes a one hour and 30 minute performance. No intermis- sion. No breaks even for ap- plause. It's a unique presen- tation and moves so quickly people do not feel they have been sitting there for 90 minutes." "Performers are not just university students, but community members as well," he said. "We make the acts a balance. We'll have the audience sing along with songs like 'Let it Snow,' 'Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,' and 'Silent Night.'" Since the Chico State Department of Music is now the Department of Music and Theater, the- ater professor Bill John is working with students to provide four or five small scenes during the perfor- mance. This concert not only involves music, but some theatrical aspects as well. A special feature will be the Children's Choir of Chico, under the direction of Susan Tevis. "'Sing Choir of Angels' as arranged by Michael Davis is the finale," Scholz said. "All performers are in- volved. There are probably 100 singers and about 40 in the wind ensemble. I'll be conducting and the whole choir will be out on the pit level of the stage with the wind ensemble behind them." The concert ultimately acts as a thank you to the community. "We like to make sure we maintain good rela- tionships with the Chico community," Scholz said. "Sometimes people focus on the negative aspects of having a large university in town, but this concert is something we can go to the Chico community and say, 'We are doing good things. We appreci- ate you. We want you to appreciate us. Come and join us.'" Tickets can be purchased at the University Box Office, Third and Chestnut streets. For information, call 898- 6333.
