Sutter Creek, CA ...The Mother Lode Friends of Music, the regional organization of classical music performances, presents a program of contemporary chamber music on Sunday, April 6, starting at 2 pm at the Church of the Nazarene, 14050 Ridge Road, in Sutter Creek. The program features music for winds by three modern French composers: the Trio d’Anches (Reed Trio) for oboe, clarinet and bassoon of Pierre Max Dubois, the Vent de Folie (Crazy Wind) for woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon) by Didier Favre, and the Quintet in C of woman composer Claude Arrieu. Soprano Marie Bedard of Fiddletown, long familiar to Friends of Music audiences, makes a return appearance with two arias, “The Letter Song” and “The Willow Song,” from The Ballad of Baby Doe by American composer Douglas Moore. The program concludes with the Piano Trio #1 by the young New York-based composer Patrick Zimmerli. Full of jazz and Latin motifs and engaging melodies and requiring virtuoso performances from all three players, the work has been described by Fanfare magazine, the leading journal of classical music reviews in the United States, as “sensational.”

Muprhys, CA ...20 years ago this May a group of friends got together to put on a play and Murphys Creek Theatre was born. The play was “Rumors”, by Neil Simon. As an homage to that auspicious beginning, MCT is once again mounting this play with several of the original cast members. “I had forgotten how funny this play actually is”, said artistic director Graham Green, “and I’m really thrilled to be working on it again. It brings back so many memories of the early days.” The returning cast members are: Sheila Doyle playing Claire Ganz, Tom White playing Ernie Cusack, and Terri Wilson (one of the co-founders) playing Cookie Cusack.

The Merry Wives of Windsor is playing now through July 26 on Friday and Saturday Nights at the beautiful Cornelia B. Stevenot Performing Arts Center. Think of it as Shakespeare for the rest of us....
