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.
“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.’
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.”

working to raise money for the Bowl. They proudly fund the Caroline
S. Pike Scholarship for Young Artists by awarding $5,000 every year
to the winners of the Young Artists Auditions. This year Associates were
introduced to a new “fun-raiser,” the Redlands Bowl Associates Tea.

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.

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.

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.”

classic oldies, current chart toppers, and
catchy original tunes. Featuring vocal
dexterity and adventurous song selection,

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.

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

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

“See You at The Bowl
This Summer!”
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.

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.

Clockwise from center right: It wasn’t always informal at Bowl performances, as women and teenage girls wore dresses — and often gloves — to shows. Bowl founder Grace Stewart Mullen reviews material at the prosellis; and, years later, in gala finery with John Raitt, Broadway star and father of singer Bonnie Raitt, and his wife, Marjorie. Below, James Guthrie conducts the Redlands Bowl Orchestra.
Sharing a history and a vision
Seated in front of the prosellis on a summer night waiting for
an evening of Hawaiian music or Broadway standards to begin,
it would be easy enough for today’s Bowlgoers — especially the
youngsters — to be
unaware of the living tradition
they witness with each
performance. the Bowl
programs, begun with Grace
Stewart Mullen’s vision of music
for everyone, has been embraced
by a broad spectrum of local
residents and the broader arts
community for decades and
continues to this day.
