The North State Sym- phony renews its search for a new Conductor and Mu- sic Director on Feb. 21 in Chico and Feb. 22 in Red- ding. Their concert called "Discover!" will present Scott Seaton, a candidate to become the orchestra's new conductor and Lind- say Deutsch, a renowned violin soloist. As one of four finalists for the North State Sym- phony post, Seaton hopes to replace Kyle Pickett as the permanent leader of the es- teemed local orchestra. Seaton has conducted extensively in the US and abroad, in both the sym- phonic world and that of opera. He is presently the permanent conductor of the Minot Symphony in Minot, North Dakota. Seaton will be in the North State for the week preceding the concerts, and will have opportu- nities to meet the music- loving public. He will also give a pre-concert talk one hour before each perfor- mance. Lindsay Deutsch, vio- lin soloist, also has an ex- tensive international con- cert life, and has a partic- ular interest in involving young people with classi- cal music. Locally, she'll be working with the young musicians in the Youth Or- chestra sponsored by the Music Teachers' Associa- tion (Chico) and with stu- dents at Redding School for the Arts. With the North State S y mphony, L i nd say Deutsch will perform the First Violin Concerto by German composer Max Bruch. On the same pro- gram, Seaton will conduct music from Midsummer Night's Dream by Mendels- sohn and the Seventh Sym- phony by Dvorak. Tickets for the Chico NSS concert are available at chicostatetickets.com or by calling 898-6333. Redding's Cascade The- atre Box Office, 243-8877, or at cascadetheatre.org) is the site for tickets to the Feb. 22 concert. More information is available at northstatesym- phony.org. NORTHSTATE Symphony welcomes conductor Scott Seaton LindsayDeutsch Scott Seaton The bluegrass group Nu- Blu will be playing at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27 at the State Theatre in Red Bluff. Based in Siler City in central North Carolina, Nu-Blu is comprised of Car- olyn Routh, who handles bass and vocals; Levi Aus- tin on vocals and banjo; Austin Koerner, on man- dolin; and Daniel Routh, who is the band's renais- sance man — guitarist, singer, manager and tour coordinator. The group brings its lively and entertaining version of Americana-blue- grass music to audiences across the nation year- round. Their sound acknowl- edges the traditional insti- tutions that have shaped it, yet is innovative and dar- ing enough to bring a fresh sparkle to contemporary acoustic music that lands them squarely in the fore- front of bands blazing the trail in acoustic entertain- ment. Influences range from the sounds of original blue- grass pioneers like Earl Scruggs, Jimmy Martin and Lester Flatt to rock bands of the 1980s, and modern contemporary sounds such as Alison Krauss and Union Station. Carolyn's soprano vo- cal approach might be described as similar to Krauss, except she car- ries a phrasing and emo- tional elegance that shows a clear originality. Daniel and Levi provide inventive singing to fill out the vocal sound, while all four mem- bers present instrumental prowess to impress. Nu-Blu started back in September 2003 after Car- olyn and Daniel, who had played for years in differ- ent genres both separately and together, decided to de- vote their efforts to form- ing Nu-Blu. Despite challenges that included numerous person- nel changes, the folding of their original record label, and even a stroke that left Carolyn unable to speak or move her right side, the Rouths were determined to make Nu-Blu a full-time ve- hicle for them to bring mu- sic to their fans. With the addition of Levi in 2007 and Aus- tin in 2011, the magi- cal sound of Nu-Blu was complete, and as the group continues to build a national fan base, audi- ences are listening. The band is finding itself more and more at home on the radio charts, most re- cently with the evocative "Jesus and Jones." The stage is now set for the group to continue its chart trend with the songs from All The Way. "If we can touch some- body on a deep level," says Daniel Routh, "and create a moment for them that they always will remember and entertains them, that's gold. If we can say to some- one, 'hey, check this out. If you like this, you're prob- ably going to like blue- grass.' Really that's why we're here."

Tamara TheAssociatedPress LOS ANGELES Gina Ro- driguez and America Fer- rera have more in common than being the only Latina women to have won Golden Globes for best actress: Both of their series' were originally Latin American telenovelas. "Jane The Virgin", adapted from a Venezue- lan telenovela, and "Ugly Betty", from Colombia, were adapted from the daily hour-long shows in Spanish to hour-a-week programs suited to American sitcom formats. Ben Silverman, who has worked with other adapted series like "The Office" which appeared in Great Britain before it became a prime-time U.S. show, was the production architect of the two tele- novelas.
