SUMMARY:White Album Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:White Album Ensemble\nMonday\, December 28 & 29\, 8 – 11pm \nClassic! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow time: 8pm\, doors 7pm\nTickets: $35 Gen\, $45 Gold Circle\nAdvance tickets: www.tix.com\nEvent website: www.whitealbumensemble.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt began as a Luthier’s dream\, to put together a crack team of top local musicians to perform the Beatles’ “White Album” live\, in a theatre setting with lights\, dance and a full-screen video presentation. After selling out both debut shows and creating a considerable buzz around town\, the word of mouth from neighbors\, friends and co-workers about the quality and vibe of the performance persuaded the group to keep on doing more concerts. \nAfter six more sold out performances\, including the Rio Center for the Performing Arts in Santa Cruz\, Ca\, and the Henry Mello Center\, the group decided (rather ambitiously) to add another show\, RubberRevolver\, performing the Beatles’ Rubber Soul and Revolver albums\, along with the four singles that were released concurrently (“We can work it out” and “Day Tripper” were released with Rubber Soul; “Rain” and “Paperback Writer” with Revolver). No small task\, as many considered these to be the peak of creativity for the most popular group in history. \nOnce the “mission” was established\, it became impossible to stop- performing post-touring era ( they stopped touring in 1966\, at Candlestick park in San Francisco) Beatles recordings live\, with real instruments\, and no tapes. Wherever possible they began using horns\, strings\, indian instruments\, additional background vocalists or whatever it takes to recreate the many overdubs which are the records’ sound and feel. \nThere is an attitude when approaching this task of “What would the Beatles do\, if they performed this song live?” \nThat is really the essence of White Album Live\, RubberRevolver\, Sgt. Peppers Mystery Tour\, Let Abbey Road Be\, then after all post tour albums were represented\, including Across the Universe (songs from the film) shows: live performance with very high standards; music that many agree is timeless — the “classics” of our time. There is no attempt to be a “look alike” or “tribute” band; this is more like a symphony performing Bach or Mozart. \nWith a nod to the Beatles stance of standing for peace\, love\, and non violence- as well as WAE members’ own beliefs. the group has set aside portions of concert proceeds for music in school\,programs; Guitars\, not guns\, a pro youth\, anti violence non profit; the Santa Cruz County Symphony and other such causes\, the WAE has raised over $200\,000.00 to date. \nThe White Album Ensemble has spent months of rehearsal\, and research to make these performances authentic. They wondered “How would the Beatles have approached this as a live performance?” and made that the virtual standard for decisions about instrumentation and arrangements. \nThe group has a core of longtime friends who’ve played together for decades in different configurations\, former members of the Doobie Brothers\, Quicksilver\, Snail\, the Little River Band and many more. Additionally\, there is often a string quartet added for songs like “Eleanor Rigby\,” with George Martin’s original charts\, adapted by local cellist Barry Phillips (who’s played on the “Concert for George” DVD and concert along with McCartney\, Starr and Clapton\, and who regularly performs and records with George’s sitar teacher\, Ravi Shankar). \nThen Barry created charts for very Beatles song that had orchestration\, including horns\, tympani\, harp\, dilrhuba\, swardmandel and other exotic instruments\, a monumental task which pays off when hearing ” A Day In The life” or “I Am the Walrus” executed flawlessly (well\, almost!) with a full orchestra! \nAs the Beatles post-touring catalog has been explored in depth\, the solo careers of Beatles is a treasure trove of great material\, so the band now includes such gems as “Imagine\,” “Maybe I’m Amazed\,” “Photograph\,” “My Sweet Lord”and many more\, as well as doing less familiar songs as “Hey Bulldog” from “Yellow Submarine\,” or 45 rpm singles that weren’t on LPs like “Lady Madonna” or “Day Tripper.”\nHope to see you at a show soon! \nWith Love from the White Album Ensemble\, and gratitude to John\, Paul\, George\, and Ringo\, not to mention Billy Preston\, George Martin\, Geoff Emerick\, Eric Clapton\, Nicky Hopkins\, and YOU!

SUMMARY:Mountainfilm on Tour Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:Mountainfilm on Tour Santa Cruz\nSaturday\, November 15\, 7 – 9:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeaturing the Adventure Playlist \nMountainfilm on Tour brings a selection of culturally rich\, adventure-packed and inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride\, Colorado. The tour will visi​t the Rio Theatre on November 15th with films that explore themes connected to Mountainfilm’s mission of using film\, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world.​ This year’s screening will present the Adventure playlist. \nMountainfilm on Tour in​ Santa Cruz has been hosted at the Rio Theatre since 2016. While presenting an inspiring film collection\, the show is also an opportunity to​ support Second Harvest Food Bank as they kick off their Holiday Food Drive. Every ticket purchased\, along with beer sales (provided by Sante Adairius Midtown Portal) will share a portion of revenue with this organization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummer in the City – On a hot summer afternoon\, two friends attempt to ride every inch of Salt Lake City and the surrounding trails on their mountain bikes. \nThe First Woman Ever to Drop at RedBull Rampage – When Robin Goomes learned she’d be competing in the 2024 Red Bull Rampage\, an invitation-only freeride mountain bike competition\, she set her sights on victory. Follow Goomes as she navigates the brutal demands of crafting and testing her line\, and pushing her limits before making her final drop into the most challenging event of her career. \nYour Last Best: A Memphis Rox Story – South Memphis is a historic neighborhood long recognized for being the home of Soulsville USA and the birthplace of Aretha Franklin. The area has also historically struggled for basic resources. Many areas are recognized as food deserts as national chains have left due to crime\, gang violence and basic economic inequalities. In 2018\, a dedicated group got together and began an effort to bring lasting change and hope to the community. This unlikely place is a climbing gym called Memphis Rox. \nMagic Hour Segment – Alaska is the ultimate heli-skiing playground\, and Cordova’s Points North Heli is the spot for untouched powder. Magic Hour follows Griffin Post and Michelle Parker as they hit massive lines during an epic spring. \nAnnika – Where She Lands – Annika Malacinski is chasing more than just a podium — she’s fighting for equality in her sport. Where She Lands follows the U.S. Nordic Combined skier as she pushes the limits of what’s possible\, balancing the relentless pursuit of excellence with the weight of a larger battle. As she fights for women to have the same Olympic opportunities as men\, the film captures an athlete at a crossroads — determined to leave her mark\, no matter where she lands. \nRogatkin – Mullet\, no visor\, fired up and spinning like a top\, Nicholi Rogatkin is a slopestyle mountain bike rider like no other. His fearless approach and innovative tricks have redefined what is possible in the sport. Rogatkin has been competing for over 20 years\, and he’s still on the rise. He’s the ultimate hype man\, and if the world could figure out how to harness Rogatkin’s energy\, it could power the planet. \nAbout Damn Time – n 1983\, Cindell “Dellie” Dale talked her way onto her first commercial river trip through the Grand Canyon. Like many women in the industry at the time\, her place was in the kitchen. But determined to push against the tide of a male-dominated river-running world\, she earned her spot on the oars and became one of the Grand Canyon’s legendary dory guides. Inspired by the trailblazing women before her\, Dale is now proudly passing the oars to a new generation\, declaring\, “It’s about damn time.” \nWhite Gold – From the Silverton road gap to the infamous Telluride Trestle\, legendary freeskier Bobby Brown and friends spent the winter filming around the San Juan Mountains. This film showcases Brown’s athleticism\, the allure of the snowy peaks and the pure joy of hucking kickers on a bluebird day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow time: 7:00 PM\, doors 6:00 PM\nTickets: $21\nAdvance tickets: www.eventbrite.com\nEvent website: www.mountainfilm.org

A 23-year old Rick Steves made the trek\, and like a travel writer in training\, he documented everything along the way: jumping off a moving train\, making friends in Tehran\, getting lost in Lahore\, getting high for the first time in Herat\, battling leeches in Pokhara\, and much more. The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. \nThis book contains edited selections from Rick’s journal and travel photos with a 45-years-later preface and postscript reflecting on how the journey changed his life. Stow away with Rick Steves on the adventure of a lifetime through Turkey\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, India\, and Nepal. \nYou know Rick Steves. Now discover the adventure that made him the travel writer he is today. \nSince 1973\, Rick Steves has spent about four months a year exploring Europe. His mission: to empower Americans to have European trips that are fun\, affordable\, and culturally broadening. Rick produces a best-selling guidebook series\, a public television series\, and a public radio show\, and organizes small-group tours that take over 30\,000 travelers to Europe annually. He does all of this with the help of more than 100 well-traveled staff members at Rick Steves’ Europe in Edmonds\, WA (near Seattle). When not on the road\, Rick is active in his church and with advocacy groups focused on economic and social justice\, drug policy reform\, and ending hunger.

It was never designed to be a “live” group of songs\, but we did it for 20 years\, often sell outs.

We will utilize a string quartet\, and a horn section\, to “not cheat” on the accuray\, alowing room for the group to express their musicianship\, without rearranging the songs. A lovely local tradition\, and wonderful Xmas present! history- It began as a Luthier’s dream\, to put together a crack team of top local musicians to perform the Beatles’ “White Album” live\, in a theatre setting with lights\, dance and a full-screen video presentation. After selling out both debut shows and creating a considerable buzz around town\, the word of mouth from neighbors\, friends and co-workers about the quality and vibe of the performance persuaded the group to keep on doing more concerts. \nAfter six more sold out performances\, including the Rio Center for the Performing Arts in Santa Cruz\, Ca\, and the Henry Mello Center\, the group decided (rather ambitiously) to add another show\, Rubber Revolver\, performing the Beatles’ Rubber Soul and Revolver albums\, along with the four singles that were released concurrently (“We can work it out” and “Day Tripper” were released with Rubber Soul; “Rain” and “Paperback Writer” with Revolver). No small task\, as many considered these to be the peak of creativity for the most popular group in history. \nOnce the “mission” was established\, it became impossible to stop- performing post-touring era ( they stopped touring in 1966\, at Candlestick park in San Francisco) Beatles recordings live\, with real instruments\, and no tapes. Wherever possible they began using horns\, strings\, Indian instruments\, additional background vocalists or whatever it takes to recreate the many overdubs which are the records’ sound and feel. \nThere is an attitude when approaching this task of “What would the Beatles do\, if they performed this song live?” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow time: 8:00 PM\, doors 7:00 PM\nTickets: $37.50 Gen\, $47.50 Gold Circle\nAdvance tickets: www.tix.com\nEvent Website: www.whitealbumensemble.com
