Sun. 4/27 at 2pm: Jazz Violinist Mads Tolling in the driveway!
? You've heard him at Yoshi's, the Sound Round, and on KCSM 91.1; now see him up close & personal!

No cover; suggested donation $10-20 per person (kids & dogs free) NB: There are no bathrooms for concertgoers; please take care of your needs ahead of time. Thx! =~=~=^=~=~=^=~=~=^=~=~=^=~=~=^=~=~= P.S. Do you have solar panels? PG&E wants to void your solar contract, cut your solar credit, and charge you a solar tax. (On top of the upcoming Income-Generated Fixed Charge!) They're trying to sneak it past the Legislature with Asm. Calderon's (a former dirty utility employee!) AB 942. This is all part of PG&E's attempt to scapegoat rooftop solar instead of admitting the real reason for skyrocketing bills: out-of-control utility spending on poles and wires with no accountability. Tell your CA lawmakers: Don*t break the solar contract! No solar tax! NO on AB 942! Buffy Wicks: (916) 319-2014 Jesse Arregu赤n: (916) 651-4007 Great article in LA Times today about it: "Former Edison executive Calderon, now a lawmaker, seeks to cut rooftop solar credits."

BCCO Spring 2025 Concert
PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release For further information, call 510-433-9599 or email Jan M, publicity chair, at jmsings17@.... Also see website: https:/www.bcco.org The Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra (BCCO) is excited to announce the program for its Spring 2025 Concert Series, Friday May 30〞Sunday June 1: St. John of Damascus, by Sergei Taneyev Requiem, by Camille Saint-Sa?ns Performances take place at Hertz Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. Friday, May 30 (at 7:30 pm) Saturday, May 31 (at 3 pm) and Sunday, June 1 (at 3 pm) The concerts are free. Donations in support of these concerts are gratefully accepted. Maestro Ming Luke leads the chorus, full orchestra, and four soloists who join the nearly 60-year-old chorus in this rare performance. Ellen Leslie, soprano Sara Couden, contralto Brian Thorsett, tenor Simon Barrad, baritone "For our spring 2025 concert series, the Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra (BCCO) explores two brilliant but lesser-known works of compositional genius, Sergei Taneyev's St. John of Damascus and Camille Saint-Sa?ns' Requiem. St. John of Damascus was Taneyev's first published work; it immediately placed him in the upper echelons of composers during his day," says Maestro Luke. Saint-Sa?ns, known mostly for his orchestral works, wrote the Requiem to honor his great friend and benefactor, Albert Libon. Saint-Sa?ns' biographer, Jacques Bonnaure, noted in his 2010 book: "This unjustly neglected Requiem is perhaps the most sensitive, imaginative, and perfect work by the composer, who finds here, more than ever before, a classical balance between form and expression, innovation and tradition, sophisticated compositional style and immediate effect." "Both works deserve to be performed more often, and it's a treat for BCCO to explore these significant works," says Ming. -- LISA BULLWINKEL Berkeley Art & Culture Hotline www.AnotherBullwinkelShow.com/BACHotline

Grants, New Cube Space Exhibition, Statewide celebration of Arts, Culture & Creativity Month, and more!
New Cube Space exhibition, cultural activities happening this month and other resources Berkeley Civic Arts Newsletter The Civic Arts Program supports a culturally vibrant and diverse arts ecosystem within the City of Berkeley by: Funding grants to artists, arts organizations, and festivals. Providing opportunities for artists to create and display work in the public realm. Ensuring equitable access to high quality arts and culture for residents and visitors alike. New Cube Space Exhibition! In our 2025 exhibition series, curated by William Hernandez Luege, we present Joanna Keane Lopez (b. 1991, Albuquerque, NM) a Bay Area artist whose practice of working with adobe is inherited from her family as well as the enjarradoras and adoberas, women who specialize in the traditional craft of earthen architecture. In The Architectural Veil, a mashrabiy*ya, a traditional North African and Middle Eastern ornamental screen, is transformed into a sculpture, asking the viewer how materials containing cultural memory inhabit and shape our understanding of belonging and separation. This exhibit opens a space for reflection, urging us to consider how the built world, both industrial and handcrafted, is never a given but always the result of long processes of migration, adaptation, and transformation. Follow the artist on Instagram. The Architectural Veil is on display at the Cube Space through June 2025. The City of Berkeley*s Cube Space is a 200 sq. ft. contemporary art gallery located in the heart of downtown Berkeley at 2010 Addison Street. Unlike a traditional exhibition space, curated art displays are viewable 24/7 through surrounding store-front glass walls. Established in 2019, the Cube Space features a rotating series of three-month long exhibitions by emerging and mid-career Bay Area artists. Arts, Culture & Creativity Month is here!
