Art is not an afterthought
¡°Art is not the end but the beginning¡±¨CAi WeiWei California Arts Council, Arts in Corrections Fresno Dance Collective at Central Women's Facility 2017. Photo Credit: Peter Merts At Californians for the Arts we believe the arts are essential to any prosperous and truly democratic society. Especially in a state as diverse and culturally rich as California, the arts serve to give voice to our many communities, spark individual creativity, foster empathy and understanding, spur civic engagement and serve as a continual source of personal enrichment, inspiration and growth. Our Vision and Purpose: Building a sustainable and vibrant California using creativity as the driver for social change and wellness. Increase Arts Funding to Historic Levels Make Arts Accessible for All Californians Campaign for California to be the leading State of Creativity Strategize Policy Development Demonstrate Solutions to Socioeconomic Issues such as Artists as Second Responders, Arts & Corrections, Veterans, Neighborhood Revitalization, Health and Wellness Valuing the Sector with Equitable Pay and Cultural Equity In the past 5 years, we¡¯ve helped increase arts funding by 800%. That¡¯s a lot but we are still only spending $ .68 cents per person and we rank 28th per capita in the U.S. and every year we need to prove to legislators that the arts and creative sectors are critical to California¡¯s identity and success. Do you believe arts and culture being accessible for every Californian is imperative? Do you feel California should be the leading creative state? Do you think arts and artists can play a vital role in solving some of California¡¯s greatest challenges? Do you want to see funding to match these goals? Then it is time to support Californians for the Arts your statewide arts advocacy organization. Please donate today or make a donation in memory of a family member or friend. Together we can make California the leading state of creativity. JOIN US SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! Click image for info.

Berkeley Chamber Opera presents Puccini's Manon on Jan. 11 and Jan. 13
If you like to experience genuine opera up close and personal, the Berkeley Chamber Opera production of Puccini¡¯s Manon Lescaut, at Berkeley¡¯s Hillside Club on January 11 and 13, is your opportunity. If your only exposure to opera has been recordings, videos in movie theaters, or cavernous auditoriums like the San Francisco War Memorial Opera house, you¡¯re in for a revelation. The BCO, a non-profit, presents locally-sourced professional casts singing with a chamber orchestra in a human-scale venue evocative of the many intimate opera houses in Italy. This is their sixth fully costumed and staged production, the last five mounted at the historic wood-paneled club. Conductor Jonathan Khuner is a veteran of many operas, including several for BCO. The title role will be sung by Bay Area soprano Eliza O¡¯Malley, whose last BCO role was Joan of Arc in Verdi¡¯s Giovanna D¡¯Arco, which Khuner also conducted. The stage director is Lisa Houston. All three, as it happens, are Berkeley High School graduates who have gone on to regional, national and international careers. Many of the cast and chorus are also local residents. When Manon Lescaut opened in London, critic George Bernard Shaw wrote that ¡°Puccini seems to me more like the heir of Verdi than any of his rivals.¡± Later commentators have opined that that the opera, Puccini¡¯s first big success, has Romantic underpinnings with Verismo tendencies and Wagnerian harmonic influences. Wherever it came from, the music is lush and the libretto gripping. The story comes from a wildly popular book by French novelist Antoine Pr¨¦vost which was also the basis for Massenet¡¯s Manon. The heroine is a kept woman who falls in love with a student¡ªand it¡¯s all downhill from there, in dramatic terms worthy of a telenovela, with sound track to match. You won't want to miss this one.

She Kills Monsters, by Qui Nguyen, directed by Benjamin Grubb. One night only, Monday, January 7th, 2019, 8 p.m. Live Oak Theatre A comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games, She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly¡¯s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly¡¯s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all. Ben Grubb (Director) has acted with Actors Ensemble for the past decade in plays such as True West, Passion Play, and Panhandle. Previous directing credits include Speed-the-Plow, The Wager, and Billy Bishop Goes to War.

The program continues with Carol Lashoff's one-act play Persephone Underground. What would you do if your daughter ran away with the boyfriend from hell? Literally. If you are Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, you have the power to hold the whole earth hostage. "Lashof's play is a tender rewrite of the ancient Greek myth, with timely reminders of the beauty of the Earth and the need to preserve it. Carol Lashof is a Berkeley writer whose work recently premiered off Broadway and who is recognized for prompting discussion about current issues in her plays. Susannah Wood (Director) has been active as a professional actress and singer for many years, in the Bay Area and beyond. She has directed over 50 classic and new plays for Actors Ensemble, Crowden Summer Opera and Opera Piccola ("Small Works"). She is excited about collaborating on plays whose themes creatively parallel Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth.

Veretski Pass is featured at Third Sunday's Concert on January 20th, St. Albans, 4PM
Third Sunday Concerts opens the 2019 series with the Berkeley Klezmer Trio, Veretski Pass, in a CD Release Program: The Magid Chronicles Sunday, January 20, 2019, 4-6 pm St. Alban's Episcopal Church, 1501 Washington Street, Albany 94706 Admission: General $25; Seniors/Students $20; Under 12 FREE https://www.eventbrite.com/e/veretski-pass-tickets-53365350199?aff=ebdshpsearchautocomplete Veretski Pass presents a CD release concert of their 5th production, The Magid Chronicles, an instrumental collection based on pieces collected by Sofia Magid, the Jewish ethnographer who worked intensively to document Jewish music in Belarus and Ukraine during Stalin¡¯s regime in the 1920s and 30s. Magid¡¯s 600 recordings have been left untouched since they were created, and contain rare examples of women¡¯s songs and instrumental pieces. Next to the instrumentals and songs collected by Magid, we include music collected by Magid¡¯s Kiev counterpart, Moyshe Beregovski, among others, and music from Turkey, Greece and Rumania. And as always, we combine the archival with the creative impulse to achieve something new, with new compositions, arrangements and improvisations by the members of the trio. Sometimes raucous, sometimes meditative, this new program is a true melding of past, present and future. http://www.veretskipass.com/veretskipass.com/Home.html Cookie Segelstein-Violin Joshua Horowitz-Chromatic button accordion, cimbalom Stuart Brotman - Bass View/Reply Online (#21013): /g/brex/message/21013 Mute This Topic: /mt/29009967/1470329 Group Owner: [email protected] Unsubscribe: /g/brex/unsub [LBullwinkel@...] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- LISA BULLWINKEL Berkeley Art & Culture Hotline www.AnotherBullwinkelShow.com/BACHotline
