The Saint Mary's College Theatre Program is proud to announce our upcoming production of the Tony Award-winning musical&nbsp;PIPPIN, with music and lyrics by Broadway luminary Stephen Schwartz, the composer of&nbsp;WICKED, and a book by Roger O. Hirson and Bob Fosse.&nbsp;Our version of&nbsp;PIPPIN&nbsp;will use a contemporary “ripped from the headlines” story to explore themes of family dynasty and succession, presenting the messy family dynamics of a media mogul who is known for pitting sibling against sibling, succumbing to the machinations of a manipulative spouse, and whose resistance to passing on his legacy ultimately divides the family.

Music Director Lawrence Kohl presents pianist Jon Nakamatsu in his debut Pacific Chamber Orchestra (PCO) performance on Saturday, April 25 at 3:00 p.m. at the Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church (LOPC) and Sunday, April 26 at 3:00 p.m. at the Bankhead Theater in Livermore. 
Nakamatsu is a Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Gold Medalist and a Bay Area favorite. A frequent solo recitalist at the Bankhead, he joins PCO for American composer Edward MacDowell’s buoyant Second Piano Concerto. The program culminates in the gorgeous melodies and triumphant sweep of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.
 “MacDowell’s music is optimistic, expansive and heartfelt and distinctly American,” says Nakamatsu. “I’m excited to bring his buoyant Second Piano Concerto to my home audiences with PCO.” Van Cliburn chose this music for his debut performance when he was eighteen years old.
MacDowell was among the first American composers to achieve international recognition within the European classical tradition. Admired by Franz Liszt and celebrated in both Europe and the United States, he helped establish an American Romantic voice on the world stage. His Second Piano Concerto is lyrical, spirited and richly melodic, a work that balances virtuosity with warmth.
Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony is often portrayed as a heroic arc, beginning with the iconic “fate knocking at the door” and culminating in triumph. Tchaikovsky transforms that fate idea into a deeply personal declaration of identity, voiced through tender yearning, surging intensity and resolute strength. The result is a captivating symphony of sweeping melody and exhilarating power.
Kohl frames the program this way, “MacDowell and Tchaikovsky offer two distinctly life affirming works. One is spirited and lyrical, the other soulful and blazing. Both are exhilarating.” Together, the concerto and symphony create an afternoon of Romantic sweep, radiant melody and emotional affirmation.

About Pacific Chamber Orchestra: Begun by Music Director Lawrence Kohl in 1989, PCO is a premier regional professional ensemble performing at Bankhead Theater in Livermore and Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church in Lafayette. PCO’s educational programs introduce classical music to over 7,000 local students each year by teaching the fundamentals of music through elementary school assembly programs and enrichment clinics for middle and high school music ensembles. PCO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Chromatica invites you to be moved by exquisite choral music at 7pm on April 25 at Peace Lutheran Church, 3201 Camino Tassajara in Danville, and at 4pm on April 26 at Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church, 433 Moraga Way in Orinda. The Danville concert will include Chromatica’s popular post-concert reception.
Fresh from its first out of town performance in January in Santa Fe, New Mexico where it received a standing ovation for its performance of Christopher Tin’s Transfigurations, Chromatica returns with a selection of thrilling choral pieces for its Spring concerts. David Huff, Chromatica’s founding director, has assembled some remarkable pieces sung in English, Latin, German and Spanish to illustrate the enduring power of great choral music. Some compositions will include stringed accompaniment.
Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote the poem There is sweet music here in the 19th century to celebrate the emotional impact of music. In a setting composed by Zachary Moore, it frames Chromatica’s spring concerts. 
Brahms, Schubert and Schumann were all masters of vocal music, and the concerts include Brahms Abendlied, Schubert’s An Die Musik, and Schumann’s Widmung. Mozart’s Sanctus
from his Requiem, and Bruckner’s Locus Iste add more classical weight.
There are two Alleluias – one by Buxtehude and one more modern by Randall Thompson. Contemporary pieces by Randall Stroope (the lovely Amor de mi Alma), two pieces by Ola Gjeilo, and Dan Forrest’s The Sun Never Says add a modern emphasis to the concerts.
“It has always been Chromatica’s goal to identify and perform the best of choral music. These concerts show the extraordinary depth and beauty of choral writing across several centuries. Performing these pieces is both a privilege and a joy – and I’m sure our audience will love them” said David Huff, founding artistic director.
Concert tickets:
Tickets are $30 for adults, $10 for students, and children 10 and under are admitted free. For concert tickets and to find out more about Chromatica, visit our website at www.chromaticachorale.org. Tickets for all concerts are also available at the door. For a more personal look you can find us on Instagram (@chromaticachorale) or at Chromatica on Facebook.
About Chromatica:
Chromatica Chorale was founded in 2011 and now includes 32 men and women singers. It has performed 26 prior series of ticketed concerts in the East Bay, attracting large and enthusiastic audiences. Led by David Huff, an outstanding director and operatic tenor who has sung both in New York and San Francisco and accompanied by the exceptional pianist and assistant director, Julie Rieth, it seeks to perform challenging pieces at a high level of professionalism.
