OVER THE RAINBOW
A Celebration to Benefit Opera Parallèle
Saint Joseph’s Arts Society / SF
4/14/22 – 7:00PM

That voice.

For this evening’s Benefit event, hear the transcendent and gorgeous voice of Countertenor John Holiday. Holiday has graced the stages of classical venues around the world, and also the not-so-classical stage of television. No matter the venue – screen - medium, Holiday’s voice will break through barriers and resonate with all.

David speaks with Holiday, making his SF debut, with musical collaborator Kevin Korth for this evening. Closing the program will be Holiday’s duet with world-renowned mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade.

Opera Parallèle continues to bring the tradition and power of opera with a modern approach to today’s world.

MUSIC IN THE FAULT ZONE:  EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC @ MILLS COLLEGE (1939 to the present)
Littlefield Concert Hall and Lisser Hall
Oakland CA
4/21-  4/24/22 @ 4:00PM and 8:00PM

The Mills College Music Department and Center for Contemporary Music Presents:
Music in the Fault Zone: Experimental Music at Mills College (1939 to the Present)

David’s guest is David Bernstein, Professor of Music and Current Music Department Chair at Mills College since 1989. He is the driving force of Music in the Fault Zone, a four-day festival of concerts featuring the music of trailblazing composers including Darius Milhaud, John Cage, Anthony Braxton, Terry Riley and Roscoe Mitchell to name a few. Cross-genre and cross-cultural composers and multi-instrumentalists whose work and performances must be seen and heard in person. Allow your senses to be musically and aurally transported to an expanded world of sounds not always heard in the same room, or in one piece.

The results can be beautiful, haunting, noisy, yet all in the spirit of creating with freedom.

Ahead of their time, Mills College’s long history of musical and sound experimentation has also laid the foundation for progressive music throughout the decades, and they continue to uphold the ‘tradition’ of taking musical chances.
