Out of This World!

Summer Cinema at the Courthouse

By Daisy Scott / VOICE

JOURNEY BEYOND THE STARS, UNDER THE STARS! Uniting hundreds of families, friends, and neighbors for free community movie nights each summer, UCSB Arts & Lectures Free Summer Cinema returns to the Santa Barbara Courthouse with the theme Out of This World!

A cinematic journey through the “final frontier,” this summer’s line-up focuses on extraterrestrial life, beginning with Close Encounters of the Third Kind at 8:30pm on Friday, July 7th. Screenings will continue on Friday nights through August 25th, skipping August 4th for Fiesta.

“This year’s theme of alien movies gave us the opportunity to present a range of movies that would have broad appeal across the community,” shared Caitlin O’Hara, Director of Public Lectures & Special Initiatives, who took the lead on curating this summer’s lineup.

The full film lineup includes Alien, Mars Attacks!, The Fifth Element, J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Nope

“I’m excited to bring some scary movies into the mix, some funny films, some fantastical films, some that are appropriate for younger audiences,” she continued. “It’s important to us to have something for everyone. And of course we have to consider the setting:

Is this a movie that would be fun to watch outdoors on a blowup screen with thousands of people? Not all movies are right for the setting. The alien theme just lent itself well to a good time for a lot of people.”

For 14 years, UCSB Arts & Lectures summer cinema series has defined summertime in Santa Barbara, showing black and white flicks to Hollywood blockbusters, and everything in between. Each screening attracts hundreds of community members, ranging from eager students on vacation to local families and couples.

Add engaging pre-film activities, such as costume contests, photo booths, and music sets by local DJs, and the Sunken Garden is the place to be on Friday nights for a lively atmosphere of camaraderie and summertime fun.

“We want it to be a safe space for the entire community,” said O’Hara. “It’s free, so there isn’t a barrier to who can enjoy it. People walk and ride their bikes over. There’s a great energy to each screening and the feeling that we’re there with

thousands of others from our community. People strike up conversations with their neighbors, run into folks they haven’t seen in a long time. It’s just good, wholesome fun for all.”

In preparing to curate the 2023 lineup, O’Hara reflected on movies that would be fun to share with the larger Santa Barbara community, building themes around each selection. As soon as she thought of The Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis as a 23rd century cab driver, she knew she was onto a great theme: Out of This World!

Close Encounters of the Third Kind kicks off the series with Steven Spielberg’s iconic story of two individuals who discover they are not alone in the universe. Viewers will then bite their nails as Sigourney Weaver battles a parasitic stowaway in Alien (July 14th). Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! (July 21st) will offer comic relief with a goofy spoof of

classic sci-fi films.

After The Fifth Element on July 28th, screenings will break for a week during Old Spanish Days activities at the courthouse. The series returns with Star Trek (August 11th), bringing back Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise crew to the big screen. Guardians of the Galaxy (August

18th) will have audiences dancing in their seats to the antics of an heroic squad of fugitives. Nope, Jordan Peele’s horror film set on a horse ranch under attack from flying extraterrestrial creatures, closes out the summer on August 25th.

Community members can begin setting up breathable picnic blankets and low to the ground folding chairs at noon each Friday. Attendees are welcome to pack their own picnics and snacks, or grab takeout from downtown Santa Barbara eateries.

“Montecito Bank & Trust sponsors the films year after year, and we’re so grateful for their support and investment in their community,” expressed O’Hara. “We have the best partners in the County who help us put it on every year. And beyond that, local restaurants create special menus for the films; local businesses provide raffle items; we connect with people from across the community on our various pre-show activities. It really does feel like this event brings people together on many levels.”

During the 1620s and 1630s, the Church kept Francisco de Zurbarán and his large workshop busy with commissions, well suited to his sober style. Bartolomé Murillo succeeded Zurbarán as Seville’s leading artist. He animated his engaging subjects with an uncanny narrative skill. Aspects of Murillo’s studio practice, materials and artistic intentions, revealed through close examination of the artist’s genre paintings in the conservation studio will be discussed.

SB City Council Upholds State Street Promenade & Parklets

By Daisy Scott / VOICE

THE STATE STREET PROMENADE IS HERE TO STAY. Following weeks of community debate and a five-hour meeting — two hours of which consisted solely of public comment — the Santa Barbara City Council voted 5-2 on Tuesday evening to maintain State Street’s closure to vehicular traffic and parklets for outdoor dining.

The Promenade will now continue through December 2026, or until the adoption of the State Street Master Plan, whichever comes first.

“The people I talk to, the emails I get, and the surveys are what I would call overwhelming numbers of support to keep all or much of State Street closed to cars,” said Councilmember Mike Jordan.

Mayor Randy Rowse and Councilmember Eric Friedman opposed the extension of the Promenade in its current state. Both called for a limited Promenade area spanning a few blocks instead of continuing to keep the entire 500 to 1200-block stretch closed to cars. They also voiced concerns about funding future changes for such a large Promenade.

“We don’t have a promenade right now. We have sidewalks and a big, black bike lane,” said Rowse. He added that the Promenade’s length makes it difficult for elderly residents and individuals with limited mobility to navigate State Street.

Numerous public commenters expressed similar concerns about mobility and safety, as well as the need to focus on retail as well as outdoor dining. These individuals were ultimately outnumbered by business owners, downtown employees, and community members speaking in favor of the promenade and parklets.

Brian Bosse, the City’s Public Works Downtown Team Manager, presented the results of the city’s survey regarding outdoor dining and parklets to the Council, which gained approximately 4,500 responses. Excluding business and restaurant owners, 88 percent of the 3,381 general community members said they wanted the city to explore permanent outdoor dining options.

Out of the 68 restaurant and bar owners represented, over 80 percent voiced that parklets have benefitted their business. Of the 68 retail business owners, 40 percent stated that parklets have harmed their business. However, 52 percent of this group expressed a desire for the city to explore permanent parklet options.

“Every time [this conversation] reaches this body, to me, is an opportunity to say out loud how important I believe it is for us to change the paradigm in this city to one that prioritizes and commits to robust communal life,” said Harmon. “Robust communal life in the form of our promenade, and robust communal life in the form of outdoor dining,

including parklets everywhere in our city.”

Beyond State Street, City Council unanimously approved the decision to allow parklets on private property as long as they meet necessary permit requirements.

Parklets in the public right of way off of State Street will also be remaining past their initial January 1st, 2024 expiration deadline. Per the City Council’s 6-1 vote — opposed by Mayor Rowse — the Ordinance Committee will look into the creation of a program that will guide the permanent presence of parklets throughout the city.

Councilmember Kristen Sneddon additionally called for the return of a State Street Promenade Public Interim Operations subcommittee under the Brown Act, which would allow community members to view and attend meetings.

She stated that the current State Street Promenade ad hoc committee — which includes Sneddon and Councilmembers Mike Jordan and Oscar Gutierrez — was held behind “closed doors” and therefore ineffectual in engaging the larger public in proposing, implementing, and experimenting with Promenade changes such as design guidelines.

“I don’t believe we have yet seen what we can be,” said Sneddon. “I don’t think we have really given it its full chance to blossom.”

The replacement of the ad hoc committee passed 6-1, with Mayor Rowse as the dissenting vote.

Dos Pueblos Mock Trial Students Coach Their Own Way to International Championship

By Ed Zuchelli / SB Unified School District

WHILE MOST STUDENTS spent the end of the school year studying for finals and preparing for college, Dos Pueblos Mock Trial students decided to compete in an international competition– without any help from adult coaches.

Instead, seniors Jacob Molina, Maxfield Steele, and Edo Barel coached themselves, along with the school’s B-team that competed in a lower league.

The seniors won the Empire Premier Spring League Championship while coaching the other “JV team” to the top 25 percent of teams in the Sapphire League.

The A-team competed against 19 other schools from across the country and China.

Dos Pueblos had to compete in four preliminary trials and three single-elimination playoffs to win the Empire Premier Spring League Championship. In the open-entry Sapphire league, DP’s B-team tied for fourth, with Victoria Chen receiving an honorable mention as an attorney.

“While it’s impressive that this group of seniors took on this project during their last semester of high school, what makes it truly exceptional is that they cared enough about their teammates and the program to coach an entire additional team of less experienced mock trialers,” said coach Lisa Rothstein. “That’s the kind of unselfish commitment that makes DP Mock successful. From a coach’s perspective, it doesn’t get much better than that.”

Both teams were coached and led by seniors Edo Barel, Jacob Molina, and Maxfield Steele, who took on attorney and witness roles alongside Liam Avolio, Tobin Bohley Charlotte Choi, Amirsam Jabbari, Rachel Lenchner, and Sienna Valentine, who also received an outstanding witness award.

“The fact that when other students were at the peak of senioritis, they pulled together to bring out the best in each other and the best in their peers speaks to their character and is the best example of embracing individuality, overcoming differences, and putting the team ahead of the individual. DP Mock Trial will be left a better program from the imprint these seniors leave behind, “ said coach Christine Voss.

In the 2022-2023 school year, the Dos Pueblos Mock Trial Team finished second in California and third at Empire Baltimore. Dos Pueblos last won Empire World Championship back in 2015.

“Time and time again, the Dos Pueblos Mock Trial Team impresses us with their motivation to reach higher and higher than ever before. When I think of this generation of students and our future, I remain optimistic. The way these students stepped up to help, leaving a lasting mark on their team, is what their generation is about. We wish the seniors on the team well and look forward to seeing how they succeed after graduation,” said Dr. Hilda Maldonado, Superintendent.

SB Courthouse Legacy Foundation Completes Great Arch Surface Treatment Project

JUST IN TIME FOR OLD SPANISH DAYS AND SUMMER FESTIVITIES,

the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Legacy Foundation has completed its most recent conservation project on the Sunken Garden side of the courthouse’s historic Great Arch. The project, which commenced in April, removed dark pollution and biological growth that had stained and degraded the sandstone arch, allowing the building’s original golden hues to shine.

The original wrought iron grilles and window ornamentation were also painted, in addition to the interior walls being cleaned.

“The results of the surface treatment are extraordinary”, said Angelique Davis, CLF Board President. “It’s amazing to once again see the sandstone as it appeared almost 100 years ago.”

This project follows on the heels of the CLF’s 2020 removal of a degraded coating on the Anacapa Street side of the Great Arch that was causing deterioration. The nonprofit raised the necessary funds this year for the continuation of the project on the Sunken Garden side. The project was overseen and completed by specialty conservators experienced with historic structures consistent with the Department of the Interior Standards for a National Historic Landmark.

“We are grateful for generous donations from the Outhwaite Foundation and many community supporters who made this work possible,” added Davis. “Without their generous support, we could not continue to give the Courthouse the attention and care it requires.”

Going forward, the CLF is now working to raise funds for another phase of the conservation effort which will address damage to the sandstone blocks, failed mortar joints, and loss of ornamental stone features on the Great Arch. It has already received a generous gift from the Manitou Fund and Nora McNeely Hurley & Michael Hurley, with community members invited to offer their support.

Sansum Clinic Commemorates Major Gift by Designating Urgent Care as the Naomi & Ben Bollag Pavilion

HONORING THE GENEROSITY of Naomi and Ben Bollag, Sansum Clinic unveiled a new Urgent Care sign commemorating the couple’s major gift at 215 Pesetas Lane in Santa Barbara. The unveiling took place on June 19th with members of the Bollag family, Sansum Clinic CEO & Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt N. Ransohoff, as well as Sansum Clinic physicians, Board of Trustees members, physicians and staff.

“Today, we celebrate the generosity of this gift and the profound impact it will have on our ability to further our mission to provide high-quality healthcare to our community,” remarked Dr. Ransohoff. “We could not do the work we do without this type of support, and we are enormously grateful to Naomi and Ben Bollag.”

The Bollag’s history of contributions to local nonprofits and organizations highlights their dedication and devotion to the Santa Barbara community.

The project’s next fundraiser, the Courthouse Legacy Foundation Fiesta Party, will be held on Saturday, August 5th in the courthouse’s historic Mural Room and outside Loggia overlooking for Noches de Ronda festivities.

“The County is immensely grateful for the most recent project of cleaning the Main Arch by the Courthouse Legacy Foundation,” said Diane Dodson Galt, County of Santa Barbara Project Manager. “The work they do in caring for our beautiful Courthouse is important in retaining the building’s character and integrity.”

Fiesta Party sponsorships and individual tickets are available at www.sbclf.org

Solstice Celebration Rocks Santa Barbara

GIANT TREE PUPPETS, children dressed as butterflies, and house-sized floats livened the streets during the annual Solstice Parade up Santa Barbara Street last weekend.

Cheering with enthusiasm, more than 100,000 people attended the celebration of the longest day of the year. Solstice is one of Santa Barbara’s premier Festivals. Then, folks danced to live music and explored as the air filled with the aroma of food and thousands of revelers at Alameda Park were captivated with the weekend festival.

Una Noche En Miraflores

Bringing the world together with emotion and beauty

great acclaim. In 1917, Quinito Valverde’s zarzuela, The Land of Joy. La Tierra de la Alegría, played at Park Theater for 100 nights straight. Our own Fiesta, Old Spanish Days, goes back 99 years.

The ambiance was festive. The Santa Barbara Historical Museum presented a beautiful display of antique flamenco dresses and mantones to promote Project Fiesta: 99 Years, opening on July 6th. And guitarist Alex Jordan, together with young dancers from Maria Bermudez Flamenco school, welcomed the crowd outside Hahn Hall.

Before the performance, I got to speak to multi-Grammy winning opera singer Ana María Martínez, who co-curated the night, together with Cuban pianist César Cañón. “The first part is dedicated to Latin America and the second to Spain,” she said. “We explore and celebrate how language brings us together through meaningful compositions. The Spanish-speaking world is vast. I think music serves as a great link to feel this beautiful connection.”

As soon as the show began, I found myself moved nearly to tears by the beauty of Manuel Gutierrez dancing to the guitar of Andrés Vadín. Then, after soprano Alissa Claire Goretsky and Brian Cho, on piano, accompanied by the entire cast, filled the room with the magical sound of Sí, soy yo Cecilia Valdés, by Cuban composer Gonzalo Roig, I knew it was going to be a special night.

The music continued without interruption. When Madelin Morales, mezzo-soprano, and Beatriz Batista on piano, performed María la O by Ernesto Lecuona, the emotion was palpable. After all, Morales’s parents are Cuban, like Lecuona. “The program is near and dear to me,” she said. “This repertoire is absolutely beautiful, and I am excited to be sharing a part of my culture with the Music Academy community.”

Slides by Elio Bucky with the words in both Spanish and English helped the audience follow along.

Other Latin American composers featured included Carlos Guastavino and Carlos Gardel from Argentina, María Grever and Agustín Lara from México, and Jaime León from Colombia. Lara wrote and sang many beautiful songs honoring Spain, including Granada, performed at Miraflores by three tenors, Cole McIlquham, Luke Norvell ,and Xiaoije Ji, with Yihao Zhou on piano, to great audience acclaim.

A SPANIARD EMIGRÉE IN SANTA BARBARA

, I was thrilled to attend a concert honoring the culture of my motherland and proud of the fact that artists from all over the world would sing in my first language. It was no surprise that the concert was sold out. Enthusiasm for Spanish song and dance in the U.S. goes back more than a hundred years. In 1916, Enrique Granados’s Goyescas opened at the Metropolitan Opera of New York, to

The Spanish segment began with a touching rendition of Isaac Albéniz’s Asturias, where Vadín’s guitar beautifully conversed with Gutiérrez’s zapateado and dance. Another favorite was Ruberto Chapí’s Guajiras from La Revoltosa, with Zhou on piano and mezzo-soprano Tivoli Treloar mixing song and dance, with choreography by Gutiérrez. “This event was so much fun,” she said. “Our performances are usually so serious.”

Other Spanish composers honored were Pablo Sorozábal, José Serrano, Amadeo Vives, Pablo Luna, and Reveriano Soutullo, whose Zambra from La leyenda del beso concluded the evening, with Meghan Rhoades on piano and soprano Margaret Tigue leading the whole cast accompaniment (even the piano fellows joined in on percussion) to a standing ovation. Tonight at Miraflores, nationalities don’t matter. We all speak the same language: the language of music.

LEHRER VOCAL INSTITUTE

For eight summer weeks, 26 vocal institute fellows and 10 studio artists coming from as far away as China, Russia, South Korea, Scotland, Colombia, Canada, and many parts of the United States take over the Music Academy to be part of the Lehrer Vocal Institute, where they receive instruction from expert teaching artists and mentor participants. Una Noche en Miraflores is the first of several Summer performances by these fellows in the newlyrenovated Hahn Hall. After one day of rest, the fellows started working on “Cabaret: 1979”, coming July 27th and July 29th at Hahn Hall.

By Sigrid Toye, Special to VOICE

WHAT A HAPPY SURPRISE! Santa Barbara's sunny weather has returned and the sun is shinning on preparations for the upcoming July 4th festivities in our town, especially the Grand Finale, the Independence Day fireworks display, that takes place over the Santa Barbara waterfront.

The City proudly announced the return of the annual Fourth of July Celebration. Hosted by the Waterfront and Parks and Recreation Departments, this year's celebration will transform Santa Barbara’s waterfront into a full day of family-friendly activities on Tuesday, July 4th.

“Huge thanks goes to Parks and Recreation, Police, Fire, and Public Works for the time and effort that goes into such a special community event,” commented Mike Wiltshire, Director of the Waterfront Department. “Although the Waterfront plays a big role with funding and setup, this is a collaborative effort. Being that the Fourth is on a Tuesday, we anticipate the beaches will be crowded throughout the weekend with people enjoying the weather and the Waterfront. Be safe and enjoy the fun!”

The event will include a stage on the sands of West Beach with a full lineup of free live music and dance performances sponsored by the PARC Foundation. The programing starts at 12 noon and ends at 8:45pm with an array of entertainment. The closures of State Street, from Gutierrez Street to Cabrillo Boulevard, and Cabrillo Boulevard from Castillo Street to Calle Cesar Chavez, will allow crowds to take the celebration to the streets starting at 6pm.

The day will conclude with a 20-minute fireworks display, presented by Garden State Fireworks and sponsored by the City’s Waterfront Department. Fireworks will launch from West Beach starting at approximately 9pm. The show will be simulcast on local radio station KjEE (92.9 FM) and live-streamed on KEYT.com, both longtime media partners of this community event.

Public Fireworks Shows Remain Safest Way to Celebrate this 4th of July

Community Leaders Discuss Illegal Sidewalk Vendor Issues

THURSDAY, JUNE 27TH: A packed Santa Barbara meeting brings out city and county officials who are trying to stop illegal sidewalk vendors that impact local small businesses. The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and small owners, including food truck owners speak out.

The permit fee for street vendors is $29. Vendors practicing without permits have

sparked frustration among food trucks and other local businesses. Food safety and fire violations have been found at sites where out of town vendors have set up.

Some criminal cites have been issued but it’s been difficult to trace the popups back to specific owners. Several individuals working at the unpermitted vendor locations state that since they do not own the business, they cannot be held accountable.

Fire Season Begins in Santa Barbara

TUESDAY, JUNE 27TH: The sales of safe and sane fireworks begin and warnings about risks, fires, and the potential for injuries are out. According to fire officials, safe and sane fireworks must be used in the community where they were purchased - not brought to another city.

Several large community shows are set

for July 4th. One will be the Santa Barbara West Beach show at 9pm.

“It sounds harsh but what we are really trying to do is help folks understand that a vast majority of the accidents that occur - traumatic injuries, or fires that start with fireworks, are really preventable,” said Santa Barbara City Fire Marshal Ryan DiGiulio.

Thousands Attend Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Parade

FRIDAY, JUNE 23RD: Friday a structure fire in the 700 East Block of Carpinteria St. brought out The Santa Barbara City Fire Department with three fire engines, one truck company and a Battalion Chief to the scene. The first arriving engine company reported heavy smoke and fire from a storage structure

with nearby exposures. Two additional fire engines, a hazardous materials/light and air unit from the Santa Barbara City Fire Department and a Battalion Chief from the Montecito Fire Protection District responded. Firefighters attacked aggressively and reported the fire out within 45 minutes. No victims were located and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

THURSDAY, JUNE 22ND: Santa Ynez Valley fire, Hwy 246 near Gainey vineyards. Mostly grass with some oak trees and vineyards. Santa Barbara Co. Fire on it. Light winds. No structures lost. One chopper is up. No fixed wing. Cause is under investigation.

TUESDAY, JUNE 27TH: On this date in 1990, I was with other reporters standing in 70 mile-an-hour down canyon winds reporting from the front lines of the Painted Cave fire. The temperature got to 109 degrees. About 500 homes and businesses in the Goleta area were lost (just outside of Santa Barbara). One person died.

SATURDAY, JUNE 24TH: The Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Parade was an amazing event of creativity, dancing and wacky creations. A huge crowd lined Santa Barbara St. and ended up for a day of music, food and community spirit at Alameda Park. There are countless photos and memories.

Lessons Learned From 1970s

By Harlan Green, Special to VOICE

MUCH TALK HAS BEEN MADE OF WHAT CHAIRMAN

POWELL AND U.S. FED officials say they learned from the inflation spiral of the 1970s – e.g., keep employees’ wages from rising too fast, since they are that part of the inflation equation the Fed can control.

That is, by raising interest rates the Fed hopes to pressure employers to restrain hiring practices and wage hikes by making it more expensive.

always dependable providers, and geopolitical events like wars and pandemics create major scarcities, as has happened since 2020.

The below St. Louis Fed (FRED) graph dating from 1950 shows how successful the Fed’s main monetary policy has been of suppressing wages to keep inflation moderate.

By Harlan Green

But the problem is Fed economists know that many other factors affect inflation - corporations inhibit competition with monopolistic practices, supply-chains are not

Wages and salaries rose on average five to ten percent annually until 1980, when Paul Volcker began his reign as Federal Reserve Chairman. Employees’ incomes then began the long descent to averaging less than five percent since.

Inflation was tamed, the inflation battle was won, but at what cost? Did it make most Americans better off? No. There were a series of recessions culminating in the Great Recession of 2017-19 in which they lost a greater share of total wealth generated by their employers.

The picture is startling in this next popular graph (right).

Income disparities are now so pronounced that America’s richest one percent of households (middle line in graph) averaged more than 84 times as much income as the bottom 20 percent in 2019, according to the Congressional

Budget Office. Americans in the top 0.01 percent (top line) tower stunningly higher. With average household income of $43 million, they bring in 1,807 times more income than the bottom 20 percent.

Of course, globalization and the lowering of trade barriers that moved higher paying wages overseas have been the orthodox explanations for why workers lost such a share of the wealth pie. But lost in the discussions was the Fed’s monetary hand of quickly raising interest rates when inflation heated up and dropping them when a recession resulted.

That has been the Fed’s pattern since the Volcker era. Keep inflation down at all costs, even if it harms employment. Yet we know since the pandemic that war and COVID-19 scarcities have been most responsible for the sudden inflation spike.

The post-pandemic era has therefore created new opportunities with the need to rebuild the U.S. economy since the pandemic. $Trillions are being spent in a ‘new’ New Deal era of governments coming to the rescue as they did in the 1930s.

The result is a fully employed American economy with rising wages and salaries for years to come—unless the Fed attempts once again to tamp down this activity with its

outdated policy goals.

It could right the imbalance that has always benefited employers in the name of price stability since the 1980s by allowing its mandate of maximum employment to continue by restraining further rate hikes.

Music Academy Festival Orchestra

All Berlioz program–Beauty & the Beast!

Review

by

ADaniel Kepl / VOICE LCHEMY, WITCHES, CAULDRONS, DEATH

BY

EXECUTION,

summer nights both sanguine and otherwise; a Julia Childs masterpiece of sweet and savory sounds stirred up last Saturday’s Academy Festival Orchestra program at the Granada Theatre. Featuring the Music Academy’s Lehrer Vocal Institute co-chair, mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, in a radiant performance of the composer’s 1841 song cycle Les Nuits d’été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 and concluding – how could it have been otherwise? - with Berlioz’ 1830 hallucinogenic opium trip, Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14, the concert left the audience spellbound and punch drunk. A glorious night!

French conductor Stéphane Denève chaired the first Festival Orchestra concert of the 2023 Music Academy summer season with, well, aplomb. Perhaps it was the maestro’s atavistic kinship with the stunningly curated allHector Berlioz program Saturday that added a certain delicious insouciance to his manner? Maybe it was the professional performance level of this season’s Music Academy fellows, gathered from around the world for their first rehearsals just days ago, that lit the flame of inspiration?

No matter. Maestro Denève offered his orchestra colleagues a masterclass in meticulous conductorial nuance and subtlety. Even the thrilling execution and witches sabbath movements of the Symphonie fantastique grazed the lower depths of orchestral color and the upper reaches of sonic apocalypse with an ever-present collective sense of taste and forbearance. How French! The orchestra delivered sound imagery to match each of Denève’s dynamic shadings, emotional sighs, and explosive sound bombs. Berlioz’ many-splendored chimeras came to life like vivid holograms from distant worlds.

Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, a 2002 Music Academy graduate, is enjoying her first summer season as Co-Director of the Academy’s Lehrer Vocal Institute. Her public performance debut in the new position last Saturday was sublime for its understatement. Maestro Denève, acutely aware the original version of Berlioz’ song cycle Les nuits d’été (1841) was for soloist and piano, reigned in the dynamics of the composer’s later orchestrations (1843, 1856) last Saturday, creating a performance so hushed, reverent, and mystical, the full house at the Granada fell profoundly silent through the entirety of the six song cycle to poems from La comédie de la mort (The Comedy of Death) by Théophile Gautier (1811-1872) –Villanelle (When the new season comes); Le spectre de la rose (The spectre of the rose); Sur les lagunes: Lamento (On the lagoons); Absence; Au cimetière: Clair de lune (In the cemetary); and L’ile inconnue (The unknowable isle).

A template of Berlioz’ utterly unique orchestrating genius, Les Nuits are masterpieces of restraint, never covering the soloist, particularly in the lower reaches of the mezzo range. Maestro Denève brought the orchestra to a kind of meditative calm, the occasional swirls and currents in the darker poems controlled

by the sensibility of the conductor’s body signals. Understanding his duty to the original concept (piano), Denève coaxed colors from Berlioz’ orchestrations that were complex yet gossamer, distant, feather light. Cooke’s voice, sustained gently by her collaborators, was a balm of unstrained thus beautifully shaped, pure mezzo-soprano heaven.

As if making up for the restraints conditional to an artistically satisfying performance of Les nuits, the after-intermission performance of Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique, while beautifully crafted and shaped with elegance and refinement throughout, nevertheless gave everybody in the room what they wanted, a Music Academy E-ticket to glory! Conducting the massive five movement Épisode de la vie d’un artiste with a combination of intense focus on dynamic nuance and rubato (the first three movements) and flat out “off with their heads” fun – March to the Scaffold and Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath, Denève seemed pleased to show off this summer’s new batch of orchestral chops. Fabulous ensemble string cohesion that was lush and articulate; punchy winds capable apparently, of just about anything; a brass section to take home to mom; and a percussion battery capable of marching on Moscow. Wow!

Silk Oak

Grevillea robusta

By David Gress / Special to VOICE

THE SILK OAK IS PERHAPS THE ODDESTLOOKING BUT MOST AMAZING TREE to be grown in our community. When its canopy is covered with flowers - which are colored bright orange, yellow, and red and are quite curiously shaped - it is a tree that demands a second or third look, being both strangely weird and uniquely stunning. Because of its attraction as an ornamental specimen tree for landscaping and because it is so well suited to the climate of the central California coast, it has been planted in the Santa Barbara area since the late 1800s.

Its flowering begins in April and can continue into July, depending on the weather. The flowers form in “racemes” (a cluster with separate flowers attached to and evenly spaced along a central stem), which appear at the ends of short, leafless, branches.

Each raceme contains two or more horizontal flowers (5- to 6-inches in length). The flowers are “perfect,” in that each flower contains both female parts and male parts. As with other proteas, the flowers do not have petals but, instead, have two rows of brightly colored orange-yellow carpels (female flower parts) curled up on 1-inch styles. The carpels gradually uncurl and straighten out reaching skyward, until they resemble the stiff bristles of an upwardfacing hairbrush – I told you they are curiously shaped! The anthers (male flower parts) emerge from the orange-yellow perianth at the bottom of the flower.

The flowers produce copious amounts of nectar that is eagerly

enjoyed by visiting bees and birds who act as pollinators. Pollinated flowers produce fruits that are brown, boat-shaped, follicles (½ inch long) on 1-inch stalks. Each follicle contains two dull-brown flat seeds; each seed is surrounded by a papery wing, which aids in its dispersal in the wind.

The canopy is covered with fern-like, pinnatelycompound, leaves (4- to 10-inches long and 4- to 6-inches wide), each with 11 to 31 lanceolate-shaped leaflets with up to four lobes at the ends; this leaf shape development gives the leaves a delightfully lacy texture. In the spring, the tree will shed a large number of older leaves, just before the appearance of flowers followed by the emergence of new leaves.

The gray-brown bark is hard and furrowed, often with a lace-like pattern. The trunk is normally single and straight.

It is a medium- to large-sized tree that can reach over 100 feet in its native habitat - but usually only attains 40 to 60 feet in our local growing conditions. It is fast-growing, with a narrow pyramidal form when young and a broad oval crown at maturity.

Silk Oak is endemic to limited areas in Australia’s coast in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales, in subtropical and dry rainforests.

In its homeland, Silk Oak is harvested for its rotresistant wood, which is used for fine carpentry and in the manufacture of furniture, cabinets, fences, and musical instruments.

Native stands of Silk Oak are now legally protected in Australia, due to deep concerns over the dwindling of native tree populations - the result of centuries of over harvesting. Fortunately, Silk Oak is not

threatened with worldwide extinction, because, in addition to its use as an ornamental in urban landscapes, it is being planted in large numbers in commercial tree plantations and for use in agroforestry.

It is now found in all the mild climates of the world. In wetter climates, it can be an invasive species; however, in our Mediterranean climate, this has not been a problem.

Silk Oak’s common name is a bit of a misnomer, because it is not even closely related to true oaks, which are in the genus Quercus in the Fagacea Family. Actually, Silk Oak is the largest tree in the genus Protea in the Proteaceae Family; this Family first appeared over 200 million years ago!

The common name of “Silk Oak” is sometimes thought to be in reference to its soft foliage. In Australia, its other common name is “Silky Oak;” this latter name is said to relate to the silky-smooth texture of its milled wood that is similar in color and hardness to true oak wood.

Whatever its common names, its botanical name is Grevillea robusta. The genus name, Grevillea, honors Charles Francis Greville (17491809), a member of the British House of Commons and a co-founder of the Royal Horticultural Society. The specific epithet, robusta, is a Latin word meaning “strong” or “robust”.

Silk Oak is very easy to grow, being very adaptable to various types of soil - but it does best in deep, welldrained, loam soils. Once established, it tolerates drought well but will thrive with regular irrigation during dry periods. It is remarkably resistant to insect pests and diseases. When young, it is frost sensitive; within a few years, it can tolerate temperatures down to 18 degrees F. It can be propagated by seeds and by cuttings. Seeds should be collected when fresh and soaked for 24 hours before planting. From planting out, it can take two to four months to germinate and up to six years before flowering.

Both beautiful and utilitarian, Silk Oak can be planted as either an interesting ornamental tree or as a protective windbreak.

Note: It does have rather brittle branches - these will require some regular pruning on mature trees to avoid wind damage. Care should also be taken to avoid the contact dermatitis that can result from the handling of its flowers and/or sap. The main consideration for its use in the landscape is to provide sufficient room for its size at maturity. It basically grows too large for smaller residential lots, so it is better suited for planting in parks and other larger parcels.

The characteristics that make Silk Oak an excellent ornamental tree include its dazzling floral display, its luxurious evergreen foliage, and its rapid growth. These outstanding qualities have earned it the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. Despite its few drawbacks, Silk Oak adds interest and beauty to parks, estates, and streets.

Mature Silk Oaks can be seen in several locations in our community as street trees: in the 1200 block of Anacapa Street; in the 1400 block of Garden Street; in the 2900 block of Las Positas Road (along the municipal golf course); and, in the 3000 block of Eucalyptus Hill Road. There is a magnificent specimen on Arguello Road. A large tree stands near the front of Mission Santa Barbara, and 2 in Willowglen Park. They are very prominent on the sides of Highway 101 at Mission, Carrillo, Arrellaga, and Castillo Streets.

An Exploration of Whimsy B

OOKED as “An Exploration of Whimsy,” a new exhibition, Imaginings, will open at the Gallery Los Olivos on July 1st with an opening reception on July 2nd, 1 to 3pm. Featuring two Santa Barbara artists, Cathy Quiel and Carol Simon, the exhibit reflects their multiple interpretations whimsy and will be on view through July 30th.

Carol Simon, a life-long musician, translates and transforms her love of music into works of art. Her version of whimsy comes in the form of oil paintings, most of which are inspired by European landscapes. Her muse, however, is the majestic hues and views provided by the Santa Barbara mountains. Simon will share a series of dreamy landscape and still life oils.

Cathy Quiel will contribute her vibrant, yet tender watercolors, all celebrating “the juiciness and glorious beauty of color.” Also included will be her new series of doodles entitled Pareidolia, (a psychological phenomenon that causes people to see patterns in random stimulus).

Gallery Los Olivos was founded in 1992 and is owned by an incorporated group of over forty (40) members from Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. The gallery is located at 2920 Grand Avenue in Los Olivos, CA, telephone (805) 688-7517. Artist members operate the gallery which is open daily 10:00 to 5:00. Information on the gallery and current exhibitions can be found at www.GalleryLosOlivos.com.
