LGCSF Eats Out: A Classical Concert About Food

"Such a Nice Brisket" for mixed chorus by Jack Curtis Dubowsky World Premiere

The Lesbian Gay Chorus of San Francisco Presents its Annual Fall Classical Concert:

LGCSF Eats Out: A Classical Concert About Food. 8pm.

Kanbar Hall, 44 Page Street @ Franklin (VanNess MUNI) San Francisco, CA 94114

Conducted by Stephanie Lynne Smith, Artistic Director.

Tickets $15-30 now available here or by calling 1-800-838-3006

 

While jazz, show tunes, and contemporary music may lend themselves more readily to splashy, choreographed numbers, don't expect the Lesbian/Gay Chorus to leave its trademarked theatricality and zaniness at the door for its upcoming Classical concert, "LGCSF Eats Out." Just because they are performing classical music, this does not mean that the Chorus will be standing still. Rather, LGCSF will bring the energy, creativity, and humor behind their recent cabarets and staged shows to a whole new genre.

They present a wide cross section of sound artists from every experimental genre. Thursdays 8-10pm Admission $6-10 sliding scale All ages welcome, no one refused for lack of funds. The series is an artist-run, grass-roots DIY effort that relies on volunteers.

The Luggage Store Gallery is a non-profit corporation funded by the City of San Francisco, grants, and your contributions. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, Noon to 5pm. For gallery information call 415-255-5971.   We are performing with Amar Chaudhary, a longtime composer and performer specializing in contemporary and electronic music, as well as a developer of advanced software for sound synthesis and music composition. Amar studied composition first with Ruth Schonthal at the Westchester Conservatory of Music in New York from 1983 to 1991, and then at Yale University from 1991 to 1995. Amar had his music performed internationally and has received several honors for his musical work, including a 1992 premier of his clarinet quartet Conversational Impromptu at Weill Recital Hall in New York and the 1990 NGCSA Young Composers Award for Earth Songs. Amar received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2001. While at Berkeley, Amar was a researcher at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT) and developed advanced software for music composition and performance, including Open Sound Edit, an advanced 3D graphical editor for sound representations and Open Sound World, a programming environment for real-time music and audio applications. He has published several research papers related to these and other projects. Amar remains actively involved in local electronic and experimental music in the San Francisco Bay Area, and performs regularly. His recent music involves experimentation with new sounds and sound-synthesis/processing techniques and new modes of musically expressive performance. He is also interested in the use of folk instruments and toy instruments in electro-acoustic music. In addition to his musical work, Amar maintains a deep interest in modern and contemporary art in several media as a creator, consumer and supporter.

Castro Valley Chamber Orchestra
World Premiere: EISENHOWER FAREWELL ADDRESS

Sunday, 2pm

Castro Valley Chamber Orchestra presents

EISENHOWER FAREWELL ADDRESS

Conducted by Josh Cohen

Orated by Scott Budman

Castro Valley Center for the Arts

19501 Redwood Road, Castro Valley CA 94546

Adults $10, Students / Seniors $5; Children 12 and under free. Tickets at the door or Box office 510 886 1000

Sunday, October 5, 2008, the Castro Valley Chamber Orchestra will premiere a new, half-hour, major work by Jack Curtis Dubowsky, conducted by Josh Cohen, and featuring NBC11 reporter Scott Budman as orator. Eisenhower Farewell Address, like Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait, uses a speaker in conjunction with live orchestra. The text is excerpted from one of the most renown Presidential speeches in US history.   Dwight David Eisenhower, Five-Star General and Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, resigned his Army commission in order to become thirty- fourth President of the United States. Eisenhower served two terms as President, and delivered a televised Farewell Address on January 17, 1961 from the Oval Office.   In his speech, Eisenhower warned the country of a growing danger he called the ''military industrial complex.'' This was the first use of the term to describe the iron triangle of the military, the government, and the defense industry. The speech is remarkable for its prescience and its relevance today. Although many feared the ''red menace,'' Eisenhower was keenly aware that changes in society had established a permanent arms industry at home, and he called for an alert and responsible citizenry to be wary of it so as to ensure worldwide security and liberty.   Eisenhower Farewell Address marks the second collaboration of this composer and orchestra. The Castro Valley Chamber Orchestra, with the Mount Eden Chorus, premiered Dubowsky's Quaker Peace Testimony December 19, 2007 at All Saints Church in Hayward.   The concert will be held at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts, 19501 Redwood Road, in Castro Valley. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and children 12 and under are admitted free of charge. Also on the program is Mozart's ''Jupiter'' Symphony #41.
