How does one measure the

strength of a community: jobs,

schools, home values? we’d

suggest its institutions. The library, the

churches, the community efforts to help

the less fortunate and to share those

human necessities which — after food

and shelter — help bring meaning and

perspective to life.

Strong community institutions reflect

shared values, a willingness of people

to support the common good and the

wherewithal — both in time and treasure

— to act on those values.

How strong is Redlands?

one need only to look to the A.K. Smiley

Library, the Lincoln Shrine, bike lanes,

community work and outreach efforts

and, of course, the Redlands Bowl and

RCMA, now looking forward to its 91st

season, to know and be proud.

This issue of Redlands Magazine is dedicated

to and produced in partnership with the Redlands

Community Music Association.

Beverly Noerr and Robert Dawes at the Redlands Bowl

Welcome to the 91st season

of the Redlands Bowl

Summer music Festival!

We are so excited to again be

presenting admission-free, world class

music and dance performances to the

people of this region!

our season is entitled “music for

everyone,” and surely there is something

to suit everyone’s musical taste.

Do you love the sounds of the

Hawaiian Islands? How about big band

or jazz? Does your spirit soar with the

sound of the symphony, or are cuban

rhythms more your style?

Whatever your taste, we’ve got you

covered in this exciting season!

Back when the Festival began, people

told our founder, Grace Stewart mullen,

that presenting fine performing arts

without charging admission could not

be done. And here we are, 91 years later!

I can’t tell you what a joy it has been

for me as the executive director of this

wonderful organization to see the magic

of the Redlands Bowl Summer music

Festival happen year after year.

If you are a first time visitor to the

Bowl, prepare to be captivated by the

quality of the performances and

charmed by the beauty of the Redlands

Bowl setting.

If you are a patron already familiar

with the Bowl, the 2014 season will

meet all your expectations — and then

some!

let the music begin!

Beverly Noerr, Executive Director

Music – for everyone

Meet Robert DawesRedlands Community Music Association president

BoRn In cHIcAGo and raised

in Southern california, Robert

Dawes is the RcmA’s new

president for 2014, and his

recent travel itinerary looks like that

of a man who has split his time between

serving Redlands and his country.

Since 1987, his Redlands residency has

been interupted twice: first, when Dawes

and his family moved to Germany for

three years and later when he went to

Washington, D.c., for four years.

Before his 2008 retirement, Dawes

served as auditor general of the U.S. Air

Force. He also spent four months on a

special assignment in Baghdad serving

as Inspector General for the coalition

Provisional Authority.

A certified public accountant, Dawes

has a master’s degree in International

Business and currently is Redlands’ city

treasuer.

In addition to his professional efforts,

Dawes takes great personal pleasure in

serving the Redlands community. He is

president of the Redlands conservancy

and treasurer for the montessori School

in Redlands.

He also has actively supported youth

sports programs and participated in efforts

to preserve treasures such as the mission

Gables building at the Redlands Bowl, the

Barton School House, and the city’s trails

and open spaces.

2014 season | series overview

New classics, old favorites

Program director’s rookie lineup will have nods to youth as it continues the tradition of ‘something for everyone’

Tracy Massimiano

By Luanne J. HunT • Photos by eric reed

The Redlands Bowl is a place where music and entertainment should be accessible to everyone. That was the original vision of Grace stewart Mullen, founder of the Redlands Community Music association and the Redlands

Bowl summer Music Festival. It has remained the mission throughout the Bowl’s 91-year history, according Tracy Massimiano, the recently appointed program director of the landmark venue. and that, she adds, is important to its ongoing success.

“Hairspray” and community — redlands turned out to audition for this year’s musical. annalise Staudt and Scott Mcdermott, left, and Tim Martin and Haley Higgins, at right, read through their lines.

Page 11: Redlands Magazine

“We don’t want people to think there’s

going to be any drastic changes because for

the most part, we are presenting the same

type of music we have had in the past,”

said Massimiano, a fine arts instructor at

Redlands East Valley High School. “Even

shows geared toward the younger crowd

will still appeal to all age groups. Like

always, there will be something for

everyone.”

Along with presenting an eclectic mix

of opera, jazz, classical and big band

music, the Bowl will feature the award-

winning a cappella group Six Appeal on

July 15. The ensemble is comprised of six

20-something male vocalists who perform

everything from oldies and classic rock to

today’s popular music, as well as some

original tunes.

In 2012, the sextet won top prize at

the National Harmony Sweepstakes, an

a cappella festival in San Rafael where they

also won awards for best original song and

audience favorite.

“In all my years of going to the Bowl,

I don’t remember ever having an a cappella

group before,” said Massimiano, who holds

a master’s degree in fine art from Syracuse

University. “These young guys are fantastic

and will definitely bring a unique and

exciting element to our lineup.”

Another showstopper on the Bowl’s

schedule is the uproarious musical

“Hairspray.” The original Broadway

production earned eight Tony Awards and

also inspired a feature film starring Zac

Efron, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher

Walker, Amanda Bynes and Queen Latifah.

The storyline is set in 1962 and follows

the pleasingly plump teenager Tracy

Turnblad as she pursues stardom as a

dancer and fights against racial segregation.

“We will be offering free 1960s-style

dance lessons in front of the stage before

the show. It’ll kind of be like a dance

party,” Massimiano said. “We’re also going

to have a beehive hairstyle contest on the

night of the last Saturday performance.

This type of pre-concert activity is

something we’ve never done before, so

Paul Jacques, left, who will be directing a primarily local cast for “Hairspray,” reviews material with Malcolm Leon.

Music director Rick Hoglund has worked with Jacques at the Bowl on “The Music Man” in 2010 and “Oliver!” in 2012.

‘We will be offering free 1960s-style dance lessons (and) ... a beehive hairstyle contest.’

Page 12: Redlands Magazine

we’re really excited about giving it a try.”

Those who have always counted on

the Bowl to deliver a season filled with

a diverse array of entertainers will not

be disappointed, Massimiano says.

Besides The Glenn Miller Orchestra,

there also will be performances by

renowned violinist Roberto Cani, the

Air Force Band of the Golden West,

Redlands Symphony and the Marcus

Roberts Trio.

“The season will please everyone who

enjoys music, regardless of what genre it

is,” Massimiano said. “The Bowl is such

a rich part of Redlands’ cultural history.

Not only do people respect what we do,

but they also have a desire to keep

coming back year after year.

“Hopefully, we will be successful at

widening our demographic to include

more young people. That is so important

because they are the ones who will be

taking us into the future.”

Choreographer Hollee Cool, right, leads dancers through a “Hairspray” routine.

Carly Carlstrom, with Tim Martin, shows her stage presence during the audition.

PAul JACqueS is excited about the

possibilities of staging “Hairspray”

at a venue like the Redlands Bowl.

“One of the things about doing a show

there is you never look to minimize,” says

the veteran producer/director. “You’re

always thinking outside the box — what

can I do with this musical to make it

bigger? There is so much real estate at

the Bowl, and we want to take advantage

of that.”

The winner of eight Tony Awards when it

first played on Broadaway, “Hairspray” is an

entertaining message-musical set in 1962

Baltimore about a plus-sized white girl who

has the moves to make it onto a segregated

TV dance series, and once there she

launches a campaign to integrate the show.

For the Bowl performances, which start

July 29 with a dress rehearsal, there will be

a cast of about 50 mostly local actors and

actresses and a 15-piece orchestra.

One of the biggest challenges in staging

“Hairspray” will be the rapid-fire set

changes, given the jumps from location

to location.

“It’s a lot like ‘Joseph and the Amazing

Technicolor Dreamcoat,’ ” he says. “It’s

written in a way there’s really no extra

music, so what you have for a scene change

is 10 or 15 seconds of very quick transition

to go from one song to the next.”

That means it will take extra work

and coordination between Jacques, music

director Rick Hoglund, stage manager

Cheryl Starr and the set crew during the

rehearsals, which last two months, to

ensure everything works just right.

Then on opening night, Jacques says,

“We’ll be ready to rock ’n’ roll — literally

and figuratively.”

bowl | outreach

By LUANNE J. HUNT

Creative inspiration, coupled with a two-year,

$130,000 grant from the James irvine Foundation, has

resulted in several new and exciting programs by the

redlands Community Music association, the

presenters of the redlands Bowl’s summer Music Festival.

the grant is titled “exploring engagement” and will fund

programs that encourage audiences to participate in the cultural

activities presented by the rCMa, according to valerie peister,

who oversees community outreach programming.

“the goal of the irvine Foundation’s grant is to encourage all

Californians to participate in the arts,” she said. “With that in

mind, the rCMa will work across a broad, socio-economic

spectrum to reach out to the community on a diverse multi-

generational level.”

the organization has already used grant funds to stage two

shows — “Broadway Block party” and “Many voices, Muchas

voces” — and there are more to come.

“We have presented ‘Broadway Block party’ twice at Market

Night in Redlands and will be doing it there again,”

Peister said. “It’s a very exciting venue and audiences

just love the music. The last time we were there,

people started a conga line and everyone was singing

along. I can’t think of a more fun place to hold the

event.”

Another grant-funded, interactive production that

the RCMA hopes to stage again is “Many Voices,

Muchas Voces.” It is led by renowned music artist

Ana Gonzales and provides audiences with the

opportunity to sing along with many popular Latin

American songs, such as “Besame Mucho,” “Cielito

Lindo” and “La Bamba.”

In addition to the sing-along, the show also

features folklorico dancing, a traditional costume

display and children’s activities.

“This show is very important to us, as it allows the

Bowl to reach out to our Latin American population,”

Peister said. “And it really offers something for

everyone. Ana teaches dance steps before the show

starts in front of the stage. And we also provide

songbooks so the crowd can sing with the

performers.”

Peister said the show has been done four times in

the community and once at Mission Gables where all

the seats were filled.

The RCMA has had a long, successful relationship

with the James Irvine Foundation, says Beverly

Noerr, the Redlands Bowl executive director, adding

that the partnership has been a dream come true.

“We are so excited about being a part of the Irvine

Foundation’s visionary strategy to bring the arts to

a more participatory level,” Noerr said. “Studies are

finding that people no longer want to just sit and

watch. They want to be involved.

“The grant is a great opportunity for us to meet the

changing needs of the community and allow them to

get involved in our productions. It’s wonderful to

watch this exciting evolution happening to the arts.”

Along with its grant-funded programs, RCMA also

holds free music workshops during the summer for

children ages 4 to 10. This season, they will take

place at 10 a.m. on Saturdays at the Redlands

Community Center and at 3 p.m. on Tuesdays at the

Mission Gables Bowl House.

Instructors for the classes will include many of the

musical artists who appear in concert at the Bowl,

such as The Kalama Brothers, Six Appeal, O Sole

Trio, Deborah Brockus and California Guitar Trio.

“The children’s workshops are just one more way

we are able to reach out to the community,” Peister

said. “So far, they have made a big impact and we are

really looking forward to pursuing more exciting

opportunities in the future.”

Redlands’ “young crowd” — families with children — turned out in force for the Broadway Block Party held near the Lincoln Shrine in May.

“We are so excited to spotlight some of the amazing talent we have right in our own backyard,” says Community Spotlight chair Susan Sequeira.

“Groups such as Dance Horizons of Redlands and the Redlands Community Chorus are sure to delight our audiences,” she added. “We invite people to come out this summer and cheer on these wonderful singers and dancers!”

Adonis Puentes and the Voice of Cuba OrchestraFriday, July 11Co-sponsored by the University of Redlands and the University of Redlands Town & Gown

The world of Cuban music is opened to

the audience the moment they hear the rich

voice of Adonis Puentes. Fronting an all-

acoustic orchestra, his vocals are

surrounded by syncopated Cuban rhythms,

deep bass lines, jazzy horn arrangements,

and melodic piano or guitar.

Puentes is a Cuban sonero for our times.

On March 29, 1974, he was born into an

atmosphere charged with Cuban music. His

family lived 45 miles southwest of Havana,

Cuba, in the town of Artemisa.

His father, Valentin Puentes, taught music

and played guitar, and he wasted little time

before passing his gifts to the young Adonis

and his fraternal twin brother, Alexis (aka

Alex Cuba).

Already at the age of 6, Adonis was

playing with a Children’s Guitar Ensemble

formed by Valentin. By the time he was 14,

he was singing and writing his own music.

Though his musical talents were

undeniable, his ability to shine as a

performer emerged later still. At 21, Puentes

entered and became one of the finalists of

“Mi Salsa,” a salsa/son singing competition

that was televised throughout Cuba. His

performance caught the attention of the

nation and his notoriety began to soar.

Three years after an initial tour of Canada

with his brother and father in 1995, Puentes

came back to start a new life as a proud

Cuban-Canadian. Along with his brother

Alexis (now an accomplished multi-

instrumentalist), The Puentes Brothers

would record their first CD called

“Morumba Cubana.” The disc caught the

ears of the Canadian music industry that

rewarded the brothers in 2001 with a Juno

Award nomination (the Canadian Grammy),

as well as a West Coast Music Award and

a Canadian Independent Music Award.

After such a warm reception in his

adopted home, Puentes was ready to take

a giant step forward toward the realization

of his personal musical vision. In 2005,

he released his first solo album called

“Vida” or “Life.”

Puentes thrives on the growth and

acclaim for his original sonero sound. As

he puts it, “I feel like a messenger of my

roots and tradition, blessed that with me

I have taken my music and heritage to many

different places in the world. My mission is

to make you dance and enjoy my melodies

and rhythms.”

Six AppealTuesday, July 15 Sponsored by the Hospitality Ensemble of the RCMA

Is Six Appeal a comedy group, a vocal

ensemble or a rock band? Audiences have

been trying to answer that question for

years.

Swearing off instruments, Six Appeal

uses a cappella singing to span decades of

classic oldies, current chart toppers, and

catchy original tunes. Featuring vocal

dexterity and adventurous song selection,

the group explores all genres with a far-

reaching repertoire that will surprise and

captivate audiences regardless of the setting.

Despite their cheeky group name, the

antics of these six young gentlemen provide

a good natured atmosphere for their

electrifying performance. A Six Appeal

show will split your sides, feed your musical

sweet tooth, and leave you wondering how

in the world they pulled it off just with

voices.

With members formally instructed in

singing and musical composition, and over

70 combined years of musical training and

experience, Six Appeal utilizes a diverse

arsenal of style and entertainment. In

addition, Six Appeal has a passion for

spreading their a cappella music to every

audience. An essential aspect of their

mission is to empower young singers in

their educational outreach program.

What makes these Six stand out from the

crowd? Their Appeal.

California Guitar TrioTuesday, Aug. 5 Sponsored by John & Sally Robertson

They’re back! The popular trio

returns for another sensational per-

formance at the Bowl. Their technical

wizardry is breathtaking, as is their

wide range of instrumental music —

everything from unique originals to

dazzling, cleverly arranged inter-

pretations of jazz, classical music,

and even surf rock.

The California Guitar Trio’s relentless

passion for following the muse has

served them well. The acoustic group’s

fearless multi-genre explorations have

driven 14 albums and nearly 1,500 gigs

during a 22-year career. They also have

proven that a zero-compromise musical

approach can yield an ever-expanding audience.

Comprising Bert Lams of Affligem, Belgium; Hideyo Moriya of

Chiba, Japan; and Paul Richards of Utah, the group crisscrosses the

universes of rock, jazz, world, surf, and classical music.

CGT’s most recent album, “Masterworks” [CGT 2011], focuses

exclusively on the classical side of the house, featuring works by

composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Arvo Pärt, Shubert and Vivaldi.

Accompanying the trio on the project are Tony Levin on upright

bass and cello and Fareed Haque on classical guitar.

The trio met in 1987 while participating in Robert Fripp’s Guitar

Craft courses. In 1991, they founded the California Guitar Trio,

which initially gained notoriety opening for the likes of King

Crimson, John McLaughlin and David Sylvian.

They have fans in high places too: the crew of the Space Shuttle

Endeavour used their pieces as wake-up music.

‘Hairspray’Thursday, July 31; Friday and Saturday, Aug. 1 and 2 (Dress rehearsal Tuesday, July 29) Sponsored by The Physicians of Beaver Medical Group

In “Hairspray,” it’s 1962 in Baltimore,

and the lovable, expressive teen Tracy

Turnblad has only one desire — to dance

on the “Corny Collins Show.” When her

dream comes true, Tracy is transformed

from social outcast to star, and must use

her newfound power to dethrone the

reigning Teen Queen, win the affections

of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a

TV network — all without denting her ’do!

The show’s producer/director, Paul

Jacques, is an award-winning writer, actor,

fight choreographer, scenic designer,

producer and director with more than 200

stage, film, radio, television and commercial

his work on two separate productions of

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and was

privileged to direct

Broadway’s original

Joseph, Bill Hutton,

in a production of

“Joseph and the

Amazing

Technicolor

Dreamcoat.”

Other directing

credits include

“Fiddler on the

Roof,” “I Hate

Hamlet” (ITL Award, scenic design),

“Celadine” (ITL Award), “Glengarry Glen

Ross” (ITL Award), “The Tempest,” “The

Taming of the Shrew” (ITL Award), “Little

Shop of Horrors” (ITL Award), “The Music

Man” and “Godspell.”

Jacques last appeared on stage as Elliot in

the West Coast premiere of Charles Evered’s

“Class” (ITL Founder’s Award). Other roles

Shrew”), Mortimer Brewster (“Arsenic and

Old Lace”), Pseudolus (“A Funny Thing

Happened on the Way to the Forum”),

The Marcus Roberts Trio: ‘I’ve Got Rhythm’Friday, Aug. 15 Sponsored by Paul and Joann Barich

Known for highly rhythmic and melodic interpretations, the trio

showcases a wide-ranging repertoire from such classic songwriters as

George Gershwin and Cole Porter, to works by some of America’s most

important jazz composers such as Charles Mingus. Modern works by

Marcus Roberts and others

also are featured.

Roberts grew up in

Jacksonville, Florida, where his

mother’s gospel singing and

the music of the local church

left a lasting impact on his

musical style. After losing his

sight at age five, he began

teaching himself to play piano

a few years later. He had his

first formal lessons at age 12 and ultimately went on to study classical

piano at Florida State University with Leonidus Lipovetsky.

While at FSU, Roberts won the first of many competitions and awards,

including the young artist’s competition at the 1982 National Association

of Jazz Educators annual conference. His many other awards include first

prize at the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 1987.

At age 21, Roberts began touring with Wynton Marsalis and stayed

with the group for over six years. He signed his first recording contract

with BMG/Novus in 1988 and completed six recordings for them before

signing with Columbia Records early in 1994. All of his recordings have

been critically acclaimed, and several have reached the No. 1 spot on

Billboard’s traditional jazz chart.

Roberts’ recording legacy reflects his tremendous versatility as an artist

and includes solo piano, duets, and trio arrangements of jazz standards,

original suites of music, large ensemble works and symphony orchestra

recordings.

“I never plan to stop studying and sharing in the creation of great

music,” Roberts said. “When I play, I play for the people. Jazz is not

elitist. It was created and grew from the soil of our fertile and, at times,

difficult American experience, and it will resonate as long as our

democratic structure exists.”

Nancy Celeste Walker: ‘A Tribute to the Legendary Women of Country Music’Tuesday, Aug. 12 Co-sponsored by HUB International Insurance Services, Inc., and Peter and Serena Davis

Nancy Walker and her fabulous country band pay

homage to various iconic singers such as Dolly Parton,

Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline — women

who had a huge impact on country music and paved the

way for the female country singers of today.

“Nancy just lights up the stage” is what countless

audience members say who have seen her perform. She has

impressed thousands with her captivating vocals from the

White House to audiences of musical theater to film scores

to the Los Angeles and Orange County music scene.

Constantly exposed to jazz at home where she heard her

parents play the likes of Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington,

Dinah Washington and Ella Fitzgerald, Walker’s musical

training began at an early age. She studied the clarinet and

piano, but it was obvious to all that her charismatic singing

voice was the faculty that would turn the most heads in her

lifetime. She later earned her living as a torch singer in

local clubs and restaurants in Orange County, where she

was born and raised.

Nancy began performing at numerous restaurants and

hotels in the Los Angeles area, including the celebrity hot

spot “W” Hotel, Barnabey’s Hotel, Manhattan Bar & Grill

and Pointe 705.

Redlands Symphony Orchestra: ‘Classical Favorites’Conducted by Frank Paul Fetta Friday, Aug. 22 Sponsored by David and Robin Maupin of Maupin Financial Services to celebrate the children of Micah House

Renowned pianist

Rufus Choi returns

to the Bowl

Tchaikovsky’s Piano

Concerto No. 1

with the Redlands

Symphony

Orchestra. The

concert and the 2014

Summer Music Festival season conclude

with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and

fireworks.

Rufus has always felt his American

birth and Korean heritage imparted

an international aura and underlying

wanderlust to a musical career which

has found him performing in all parts

of the world.

He is a graduate of The Juilliard School

(BM, MM) and the Soloklassen, which is

the highest degree attainable at the Musik

Hochschule in Hannover, Germany.

Past teachers include Vladimir Krainev,

Konstantin Sirounian, and Oxana

The Glenn Miller Orchestra®

Tuesday, Aug. 19 Sponsored by Carol Baker: Baker’s Drive-Ins

Considered the greatest band of all time,

the Glenn Miller Orchestra is the most

sought after big band in the world today.

The popularity of Miller’s music lives on in

his hit songs such as

“In the Mood,”

“Tuxedo Junction,”

“Chattanooga Choo

Choo,” and his

signature “Moonlight

Serenade.”

In 1998, Nick

Hilscher became

the featured

male vocalist

with the

Glenn Miller

Orchestra.

A native of

Atlanta, he

began his

professional career in his

teens, playing piano and

singing in the Atlanta area.

His early musical

influences were Elvis

Presley, Buddy Holly,

Frank Sinatra, Glenn

Miller and Tommy Dorsey.

In April 2010, Nick

released his newest solo

album with the big band

Young and Foolish. The

album features the music of Hank Williams

Sr., Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Roger Miller,

Nat “King” Cole and Cole Porter.

Nick’s first performance as music director

of the Glenn Miller Orchestra was on

Jan. 12, 2012.

Larry O’Brien, former music director of

the Glenn Miller Orchestra, says, “(Nick)

brings so much authenticity to the role of

romantic balladeer and is a pleasure, both

personally and professionally.”

Former lead trombonist with Glenn

Miller from 1939-’42, Paul Tanner, has

music festival | meet the performers

remarked, “It is rare today

to find a young man who

sounds so great.”

Also featured will be

vocalist Natalie Angst.

While she’s a recent addition

(Angst joined the orchestra

in March), she developed a

love for classics from the

1930s and ’40s as a teenager

and later became a member

of The Honeybee Trio, a

vocal group that drew musical inspiration

from The Andrews Sisters, Glenn Miller and

other artists from the World War II era.
