As we move toward the end of May, I trust you have made your plans to include a sampling of the several live performance and theatre productions that are presently available for your viewing pleasure here on the paradisiacal California Central Coast!

The Gateway Festival Orchestra will launch its 47th season of free Sunday-evening concerts at Washington University July 11 with 'Music for the Night,' a program of works on nocturnal themes. Musical director James Richards will conduct the performance, which will open with the 'witches' Sabbath' scene from Modest Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain (1867). Next up will be American composer Arthur Foote's A Night Piece (1918), featuring solo flutist Jan Scott, professor emerita at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. Concluding the program will be a medley of works from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera (1986) and from Johannes Brahms' Orchestral Serenade No. 1 in D Major (1857).
