SUMMARY:SETH MULDER & MIDNIGHT RUN  WITH OTTER OPRY
DESCRIPTION:Once again\, Otter Opry will be knocking your bluegrass socks off with an awesome show on Tuesday\, May 13th at the United Methodist Church: Seth Mulder & Midnight Run. Hailing from the gateway of the Great Smoky Mountains\, the band started its journey in 2015 at the Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery in Gatlinburg\, Tennessee. With five like-minded musicians and graduates of college music programs\, this group is strongly tied to the rich bluegrass traditions\, while simultaneously offering a fresh approach to the “High Lonesome” sound. Each member draws from various influences\, including bluegrass\, country\, and rock and roll. Together\, they present a high-energy show filled with nostalgic entertainment\, tight harmonies\, and skillful musicianship. With over 300 dates a year\, the band’s high-energy style of music has taken them worldwide\, including festivals across the United States\, Canada\, and multiple European tours. Together\, Seth Mulder\, Colton Powers\, Tyler Griffith\, Chevy Watson\, and Max Silverstein create a powerhouse of music and a stage show you do not want to miss\, and that is why they’re one of the most talked-about young bluegrass bands on the festival circuit today. A favorite among bluegrass enthusiasts and non-bluegrass audiences alike\, the band keeps the energy high and the audience on their feet. They clearly understand that when they’re on stage\, it’s not only about the music — it’s about connecting with the audience and creating a memory that will last a lifetime. In a day and age where authenticity is everything\, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run are the real deal\, so come on out and see for yourself. To make the evening even more special\, you can enjoy a delicious enchilada dinner at 5:30pm ($12.50 before May 10th\, $17.50 at the door). 7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free); $12.50-17.50/pre-show dinner. www.otteropry.org

SUMMARY:illustrating Nature Returns to the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History on May 2\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:PACIFIC GROVE\, Calif. — Illustrating Nature\, the much-anticipated showing of student works from CSUMB’s graduate Science Illustration Program will once again be on display at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History starting Friday\, May 2nd. A landmark 15th year of partnership between the Natural History Museum and CSUMB\, the exhibit is a beautiful demonstration of the deep connections between the natural and human worlds. “Each year\, we are given the chance to witness how these talented illustrators interpret the natural world.” Says Dr. Rachel Miller\, the Museum’s Executive Director\, “Every artist brings their own unique perspective\, style\, and personal story behind the illustration they have chosen to exhibit. The Pacific Grove Museum is proud to support these emerging illustrators as they launch their careers and share their incredible talent with our community.” The program at CSUMB is one that prepares its students for the world of scientific illustration\, and they obtain mastery in a variety of artistic techniques and learn techniques for starting a business\, selling designs\, and more. Most students come in with scientific or artistic backgrounds\, and the program takes them through not just the ways to illustrate science but to work with scientists and institutions. “The pieces you’ll see in the exhibit are more than just beautiful pieces of art.” Says Reid Psaltis\, head of the Science Illustration Program at CSUMB. “They are the end products of an extensive amount of planning\, research and effort from our students to tell stories\, explain scientific concepts\, and inspire.” The Exhibit will open with a meet-the-artists reception from 6:30-8:30pm on Friday\, May 2nd. In a change of pace\, the show will have its longest run ever at the Museum with a six-week showing ending June 15th. The Museum and Science Illustration Program would like to extend their thanks to the Arts Council for Monterey County and the Monterey County Board of Supervisors for funding this exhibit work. During its run\, the Museum will host several accompanying events including: · Workshops led by program graduates May 17 and June 14 · Free student art demonstrations on May 24th and June 14th · A student art market held during the Museum’s First Friday on June 6 from 6-8pm where prints\, stickers\, posters\, and more will be sold by the artists themselves.

SUMMARY:Viano Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Pre-concert lecture at 6:30 pm.\nThe program includes pieces by Franz H\, Astor\, Kevin\, Franz S\, and Sergei.\n\nFranz Joseph Haydn String Quartet in F Major op. 77 no. 2\n\nAstor Piazzolla Resurrección del Ángel\n\nKevin Lau String Quartet No. 5: The Train to Impossible Places\n\nFranz Schubert String Quartet No. 12 in C Minor (“Quartettsatz”)\, D. 703\n\nSergei Prokofiev String Quartet No. 2 in F Major\, op. 92\n\n\n\nPerformers\n\nLucy Wang\, violin\n\nHao Zhou\, violin\n\nAiden Kane\, viola\n\nTate Zawadiuk\, cello\n\n\n\nAbout the Performers\n\nThe Viano Quartet aims to unite the dichotomy between collaborative and soloistic music making to create a voice that speaks both distinctly and as one cohesive force. We believe in uplifting the individual through dynamic teamwork and uncovering the personal nuances of collaboration to invigorate our communities. Our hope is that through a charismatic and fiery approach\, our music can tell a unique story that speaks authentically to each audience member and empower a new generation of artists.\n\nThe quartet was named the inaugural June Goldsmith Quartet-in-Residence for the Music in the Morning series in Vancouver until 2025\, where their focus will be to commission new works and lead extensive community engagement initiatives. The quartet has also held residencies at the Curtis Institute\, Colburn Conservatory\, Northern Michigan University\, and Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University. \n\nThe quartet achieved incredible success in their formative years\, with an unbroken streak of top prizes at major competitions. In addition to their career-defining achievement at the 2019 Banff InternationalString Quartet Competition\, they also received the Grand Prize at the 2019 ENKOR International Music Competition and second prize at the 2019 Yellow Springs Chamber Music Competition. At the 2018 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition they received Third Prize\, the Haydn Prize for the best performance of a Haydn quartet\, and the Sidney Griller Award for the best performance of the compulsory work\, Thomas Ades’ “The Four Quarters”. They received the Silver Medal at the 2018 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and Third Prize at the 9th Osaka International Chamber Music Competition in 2017.\n\nThe Viano Quartet has collaborated with world-class musicians such as pianists Emanuel Ax\, Marc-André Hamelin\, Inon Barnatan and Elisso Virsaladze\, violists Paul Coletti and Paul Neubauer\, violinist Noah Bendix-Balgley\, vocalist Hila Plitmann and clarinetist David Shifrin. Their chief mentors include faculty of the Curtis Institute and Colburn Conservatory\, as well as members of the Dover\, Guarneri\, and Tokyo string quartets. Past summers have been spent at the Ravinia Steans Chamber Music Institute\, the St. Lawrence String Quartet Seminar\, the Festival d’Aix en Provence\, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival\,and the McGill International String Quartet Academy.\n\nThe name “Viano” was created to describe the four individual instruments in a string quartet interacting as one. Each of the four instruments begins with the letter “v”\, and like a piano\, all four string instruments together play both harmony and melody\, creating a unified instrument called the “Viano”.

SUMMARY:Something Rotten!
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous\, crowd-pleasing musical farce\, Something Rotten! Set in the 1590s\, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing\, dancing and acting at the same time\, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night\, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self\, and all that jazz. Something Rotten features large song and dance numbers\, and a wacky cast of over-the-top characters\, each with their own moment to shine! Show Dates: Friday 3/21/25\, Saturday 3/22/25\, Friday 3/28/25\, & Saturday 3/29/25 at 7pm Sunday 3/23/25 and Saturday 3/29/25 at 1pm Tickets available now!
