PHOTOGRAPHY Local artists to exhibit in Redding show The North State Sym- phony's year-long journey in search for a new con- ductor and music director approaches its final desti- nation. The Symphony's fi- nal concert of the season, called "Arrive!," will be played at 7:30 p.m. May 9 in Redding's Cascade The- atre, and at 2 p.m. May 10 in Laxson Auditorium, CSU Chico, Peter Jaffe, music direc- tor of the Stockton and Au- burn symphonies, takes the podium as the last of four finalists who hope to per- manently lead the only pro- fessional classical orchestra in the region. Jaffe has led the Stock- ton Symphony for many years, and has extensive na- tional and international ex- perience as conductor and violinist. He is especially known for the imaginative con- certs he has designed. Jaffe's program with North State Symphony covers a broad spectrum of orchestral music. In both Redding and Chico. Beethoven's Piano Con- certo No. 3 will be played by Dr. Natalya Shkoda. Shkoda hails from the Ukraine, has concertized and taught extensively in Europe and the U.S. She is currently on the faculty at California State University, Chico. The Beethoven work con- trasts with two very differ- ent selections on the con- cert. George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess Selections for orchestra will open the concert in a version ar- ranged by Robert Russell Bennett. The 19th century and Russia are the sources of Pictures at an Exhibition, by composer Modest Mus- sorgski, which paints pic- tures in sound and ends with a triumphant march, called "The Great Gate of Kiev," which is counted among the most powerful and popular selections in the field. Audience members may hear Jaffe speak an hour prior to the concerts. As part of the Search process, he will be in the North State for the entire week preced- ing the concerts, making several public appearances.

NORTH STATE SYMPHONY Concert to showcase conductor, pianist "Simply Sinatra" is a dazzling remembrance of the hit songs that define the legend of old blue eyes. Steve Lippia will front a live big band in this full- throttle performance of classic American reper- toire at the Cascade The- atre at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 30. Shasta Live Board Mem- bers plan to celebrate this special evening with Steve Lippia: "Simply Sinatra" by wearing black tie attire. Organizers invite the au- dience to dress up, if they wish. Steve Lippia's vocal skills have established his widespread notoriety at corporate events and with symphony orchestras, ca- sinos and performing arts centers across the coun- try. Originally moonlight- ing with local bands in Florida, the undeniable likeness to Sinatra's style steered Lippia into a new, unexpected career. Localized fame spread to the national scene when he landed the vocalist spot with the Woody Herman Band, a position once oc- cupied by his mother. He has recorded an album for Warner Brothers' Studios, and two live CDs: "Steve Lippia Live," and Grammy- nominated "Steve Lippia in Concert." Single tickets for this event are $40 for adults and $20 for students, available through the Cas- cade Theatre box office or online at www.cascadethe- atre.org. Season tickets for the Shasta Live! 2015-2016 concert series are $70 adults, $35 students and $175 families through April 30.
