Welcome

WELCOME! Whether you’re here for your first performance or your hundredth, thank you for joining us! It’s through the loyal patronage and support of people like you that Wells Fargo Center for the Arts has been able to grow, improve, and expand our

A Message from the Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers

offerings to the community over the past 34 years.

The past two years have been incredible here at the Center, distinguished by many successes and improvements, including the opening of our new Sculpture Garden featuring massive redwood sculptures by local artist Bruce Johnson, new partnerships with several local theatre companies, the addition of the Anova Center for Education to our campus, expanded education and outreach programs, growing community support marked by record-setting memberships and fundraising, and more-and-more sold out performances!

Many of you have taken one of our surveys over the past few years – thank you! Based on your feedback, we’ve made upgrades to our ticketing system (you can now select your own seats when purchasing tickets from mobile devices), we’ve converted to a more efficient Point-of-Sale system at our concessions stands, and most recently we’ve increased concessions staffing and capacity to help increase service speed and allow us to increase selection down the road.

On behalf of everyone at the Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation (owner and operator of Wells Fargo Center for the Arts), it’s our pleasure to serve our community, and we look forward to keeping this momentum going into the future!

Thank you again for attending, and enjoy the show!

Feature Performances

Wallflower, wallflower, won't you dance with me? / I'm fallin' in love with you —“Wallflower” by Bob Dylan

”

Musically speaking, Diana Krall is no wallflower.

By any standard this five-time Grammy® winning jazz pianist and vocalist is one of the most accomplished and distinctive musicians in the world today. Respected far and wide as a wildly successful

sixteen-time Grammy® winning producer

recording and performing artist, Krall remains a true musical force. At any given moment she could be producing Barbra Streisand’s new album, serving as musical director and arranger for Paul McCartney or hitting the road for a good cause with Neil Young. As the record shows, Diana Krall has already done all that and much more. Along the way Krall has sold more albums than any other female jazz artist of the last 30 years, establishing herself as one of the best-selling and most beloved performers of her generation, one whose recordings thus far have earned her nine gold, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums.

On Wallflower, Krall’s stunning and

something unexpected. On the new album she has recorded a collection of songs from the Sixties to present day, showcasing her considerable gifts as a vocalist in a bold and beautiful way. Krall sings a set of songs that include familiar popular classics like The Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreaming” and the Eagles’ “Desperado,” favorite vintage songs by Krall’s musical heroes Bob Dylan (he inspired the album’s title track “Wallflower”) and Elton John (“Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word”).

Lewis Black: The Rant is Due Part Deux Friday, September 11 at 8pm

Feature Performances

Lewis Black, Grammy Award-winning stand-up comedian, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theatres including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently a sold out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in NYC. His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who

Chris Cornell is a modern iconic innovator who transcends genre. He was the chief architect of the 90s grunge movement and remains one of the best rock voices of all time.

Achieving multi-platinum success with three legendary bands - selling over 30 million records worldwide - he has forged his own unique identity over three decades as a Grammy award-winning, Golden Globe nominated singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer and lyricist.

His career began with Seattle trailblazers Soundgarden, whose wild soundscapes combined visceral punk attitude with artistic depth. Powerfully original, they were the first of their generation of Seattle bands to sign to a major label in 1989 and their work

Frank Sinatra, Jr. Sinatra Sings Sinatra The Centennial Celebration Conducted by Terry Woodson

Thursday, October 8 at 8pm

Feature Performances

Frank Sinatra, Jr. was born in New Jersey, raised in California, and educated in the showrooms of Las Vegas and on stages all over the world.

Frank Sinatra, Jr. found himself catapulted into a position he never sought but must have surely contemplated. The songs of Sinatra need to be sung and Frank Jr. has inherited that honor. In song and style Frank Sinatra, Jr. pays homage to his father, the singer, the man, and the music that defines the Sinatra legend with his current show, “Sinatra Sings Sinatra.”

Audiences who have attended these performances have come away delighted to have heard the music of Sinatra performed by the greatest living authority on Sinatra music, who is also the one vocalist most qualified to sing them.

Beginning in 1988, at his father’s request, Frank served as conductor and musical director for his father’s final years of live performing, earning Frank, Jr. the respect of the musicians and those in the audience for the devotion and skill he brought to the job.

Currently, Frank enjoys touring in many countries, on the stages of casino show

Rosanne Cash with John Leventhal Friday, October 16 at 8pm

Feature Performances

"I went back to where I was born, and these songs started arriving in me," says Rosanne Cash. "All these things happened that made me feel a deeper connection to the South than I ever had. We started finding these great stories, and the melodies that went with those experiences."

With The River and the Thread, Cash has added the next chapter to a remarkable period of creativity. Her last two albums, Black Cadillac (2006) and The List (2009), were both nominated for Grammy Awards; The List—an exploration of essential songs as selected and given to Rosanne by her father, Johnny Cash—was also named Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association.

Wells Fargo Center for the Arts Opens New Sculpture Garden

36

Sculptor Bruce Johnson Opened this past June, a new Sculpture Garden – located at the northeast end of the Center’s campus, between the Center’s building and the Sutter Hospital campus – showcases rotating works from contemporary regional artists. The Sculpture Garden is free and accessible to the public, and currently features distinctive redwood sculptures designed by highly-acclaimed local artist Bruce Johnson for the inaugural exhibit, which will last through May 2017.

The Sculpture Garden is the unifying focal point for the various other aspects of the visual arts pieces that are already on display at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The visual arts have always been an intrinsic component of the programming at the Center dating back to the early 1980’s when the Museum of Contemporary Arts was housed onsite. Although the works relocated in 2006, other significant paintings and sculpture displayed at the Center include works by thirteen local and regional artists such as Robert Ellison, Dennis Leon, Diana Meehan, and Roberto Santo. With the new Sculpture Garden, the Center’s walkable campus can now easily be experienced as an

About Us integrated Art Walk, incorporating all the visual arts and elevating the profile of the Center as a comprehensive center for the visual and performing arts and a community resource. The physical concept for the garden, how best to adapt the current space to most successfully display artwork, its design, and planning is by Bill Mastick, Quadriga Landscape Architecture and Planning with offices in Santa Rosa, San Francisco and Sacramento. ”Root 101,” the inaugural exhibit by Bruce Johnson is comprised of colossal wood sculptures made from salvaged old growth redwood, which he has been working with for 50 years. Three years ago, Johnson acquired 80 tons (four truckloads) of huge salvaged redwood stumps and chunks, some trees over 1,000 years old near a tributary to the Eel River. “There is something primal and archetypal about these huge water washed forms,” observes Johnson. “Within the form of roots and swirl of grain you can see and touch patterns of nature and feel the fractal expression of growth and energy. These materials are the heart of the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts exhibit.”

28 live music, dance and theatre School Show performances funded by our supporters opened up a whole new world of imagination, creativity and learning for 29,573 North Bay students from 5 – 18 last year. It was the first time many of them had ever seen a live performance.

Over 40% of these students – many who wouldn’t have been able to attend otherwise – received no-cost or reduced-price tickets.

“The show was a fun and engaging way for kids to learn grammar,” says Freda’s teacher Anh Dao Tran. “They could actually see it, hear it and experience it. It was especially beneficial for my class because for 90% of them English is their second language.”

As a teacher, Anh Dao is a huge fan of the School Shows our members and donors make possible for her kids.

“The students are definitely more engaged as a result,” Anh Dao says. “Highquality shows like this expose them to all kinds of creative learning and thinking. Being able to talk with the actors afterwards boosts their confidence and gives them a new sense of what’s possible in their lives. They see that they can express themselves through many different avenues.”

Removing Roadblocks to the Arts Truth is, not everyone can afford to participate in the arts. Yet, music, dance and theater are at the heart of every community, providing one of our greatest means for understanding and communication.

We believe these benefits should be shared by all and are working to remove financial barriers to the arts in our community.

n The Evert Person Bus Fund— grants for student transportation to the theater

n Subsidized Programming— live performance at an affordable price

Why Education Through the Arts?

At Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, we believe in art for art’s sake, but we also know that the arts are an incredible tool that stimulates creativity and communication skills, and also helps children develop self-esteem. By integrating the arts into core curriculum lessons, we are using the power of the arts to teach all subjects, including math, science, and social studies, while also acknowledging that children learn in different ways.

Why Now? As we see cuts to arts and music education in the classroom, our programs help fill the gap for students and teachers in our community.

Your Community Gathering Place In the late 1970s, a group of 12 local community leaders envisioned a home for the arts. They dreamed of a vibrant gathering place where people could treasure the wonderful talents of local performing artists and enjoy world-class performances without having to travel to San Francisco and beyond to see them.

Founders

“We really wanted an arts center for our community,” noted the late Henry Trione, one of the Center’s founders. “So, when the church building came up for sale, we decided to buy it on our own.”

Ed and Marion Gauer

Such is how our founding families arrived at a bankruptcy auction for the Center’s River Road complex. As the only cash bidder, our founders walked away with the property for $4.5 million, reaching deep into their own pockets to purchase the Center on behalf of the community.

Meet Our Volunteers Linda Hawke has a green thumb and a big heart.

Linda has been volunteering in hospitals since the age of 11, and it was during one of her many shifts at Sutter that Linda was invited by a friend to join her as a volunteer at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. Linda hasn’t stopped since 2009. After all these years she still “enjoys the different opportunities and avenues to meet and work with patrons, volunteers and staff”. In her time at the Center, Linda has worn several hats -- she has conducted volunteer orientations, helped with volunteer scheduling, and enjoyed volunteering in “The Club”, an intimate pre-show reception for members. Candice Day, Executive Assistant at the Center says, “Linda truly understands the meaning of volunteering and its

importance within our community. With her warm and welcoming smile, Linda oversaw the Orientation of new incoming volunteers always making sure that they truly understood how very important their volunteer work is to the Center.”

Outside of the Center, Linda has always worked with flowers and gardening. Her husband is the President of a local winery and Linda does all the flower

During performances, Linda likes to spend time out in the lobby, chatting with other volunteers and being

available to help our patrons with any needs they have.

Her favorite performances have been the “true entertainers” like Dave Koz, Chicago, Earth, Wind and Fire, as well as Move Live (with Julianna and Derek Hough) and Shirley MacLaine who “really bonded with the audience.” Her biggest kick was seeing an all-male ballet performance, “I really didn’t know what to expect but I loved it!” Through her dedication and great attitude Linda truly supports our mission to Enrich, Educate and Entertain Sonoma County through the arts.

What our members, donors, and sponsors make possible

“Thanks to you, music is my life.”

Elsie Allen High School Senior Eduardo Barazza will be the first in his family to go to college. Even though he was born into poverty, his mentor and music teacher predicts he will be “a great success in life.”

A trumpet paved the way for Eduardo’s unlikely success.

How? Eduardo got his trumpet in 7th grade from Music For Schools, one of the many

Music For Schools refurbishes and lends out

Business major, jazz studies minor at Sonoma State University, Fall 2014 Instrument from Music For Schools: Trumpet

over 400 donated instruments to aspiring student musicians like him.

“I don’t know what we’d do without Music For Schools,” says Kyle Thompson, Elsie Allen music director. He estimates 85% of his kids are using Music For Schools instruments.

Want to get involved in Music For Schools?

1) Donate an unused instrument (call Chrystie Prokopakis at 707.800.7504).

We’ll refurbish it and put it to work transforming the life of a student.

2) Become a Wells Fargo Center for the Arts member. In addition to priority tickets and other benefits, you’ll help fund Music For Schools and our other educational programs.

Music For Schools transforms lives.

Eduardo’s trumpet gave him a passionate love of music, but it also gave him the chance to grow into the leader he is today. “Eduardo’s leadership skills are at such a high level,” says Kyle Thompson, “he is the most skilled teacher of peers I have ever had in a class.”

Music has not only given him leadership skills, Eduardo says, it’s helped him become a confident public speaker – a skill he’ll bring with him to Sonoma State University this fall where he will major in Business and minor in Jazz Studies.

All this from the loan of a trumpet our donors made possible.

SEATING CHART

76

The Ruth Finley Person Theater at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts is a flexible venue allowing for both seated and open floor configurations. When seated, the 1681-seat venue is the largest fixed seat venue in Sonoma County. When main floor seats are removed, the open floor/seated balcony configuration raises the capacity to 2000. The theater’s unique thrust stage design, with no seat more than 75 feet from the stage, provides a level of intimacy between artists and audiences unlike any other in Northern California. For more than 30 years, Wells Fargo Center for the Arts has been the best place to see your favorite performer up close and personal.

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS Please see a house manager or volunteer usher if you have any concerns during a performance.
