By Mark Whitehurst / VOICE

AN ANNIVERSARY GALA will celebrate the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum’s 25th year and the presentation of the Admiral’s Award to Hiroko Benko and Sigrid Toye for their outstanding contributions. Titled Love Boat – Sailing to the Caribbean, the event will take place March 7th, 2025. The fundraiser is already sold out, but there is be an online auction already open for bidding through March 5th, 2025.

“As we celebrate 25 years, this gala is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a tribute to the community that has supported us and the maritime heritage that connects us all,” said SBMM Executive Director Greg Gorga. “We are honored to recognize Hiroko Benko and Sigrid Toye, whose contributions have been invaluable.”

Since its founding in 2000, SBMM has been dedicated to preserving and sharing the maritime history of the Santa Barbara Channel. Through engaging exhibits and educational programs, the museum has inspired countless visitors to appreciate the ocean’s cultural and ecological significance. SBMM has evolved into a premier institution, offering hands-on experiences, interactive displays, and collaborations with regional maritime experts.

The SBMM Admiral’s Award is given to individuals who demonstrate exceptional service to SBMM and the maritime community. This year’s honorees, Hiroko Benko and Sigrid Toye, have played instrumental roles in advancing SBMM’s educational and outreach initiatives.

Hiroko Benko, an Advocate for Marine Conservation, the owner of the Condor Express, and co-director of the Santa Barbara Channel Whale Heritage Area, has been a longtime champion of marine conservation and education. Through her leadership, she has introduced thousands of students and visitors to the wonders of the ocean, fostering a deep appreciation for marine life.

The Condor Express, Santa Barbara’s leading whale-watching vessel, has been a vital educational platform under Benko’s guidance. By facilitating partnerships between SBMM and marine researchers, she has helped bridge the gap between science and public engagement. Her dedication to ocean preservation and environmental education makes her a deserving recipient of this honor.

Sigrid Toye, a past president and current board member of SBMM, has been a driving force at the museum. Her vision has strengthened the museum’s outreach, programming, and partnerships, ensuring its continued success.

Beyond her board service, Toye is a gifted writer and maritime historian, regularly contributing to the Montecito Journal and Voice Magazine. Her articles have brought the museum’s stories to a broader audience, highlighting key maritime figures and historic events. Additionally, her involvement with the Santa Barbara Breakwater Flags program has introduced a vibrant touch to the harbor, celebrating the region’s nonprofit community.

“We are thrilled to honor two incredible women who have done so much for our nonprofit community,” added Robyn Parker, gala committee chair.

For those who wish to honor Hiroko Benko or Sigrid Toye with a gift, donations can be made by contacting Emily Duncan at eduncan@sbmm.org.

Camerata Pacifica to Go for Baroque with “Strawberry Fields” Performance

THE SOUNDS OF 18TH CENTURY ENGLAND WILL COME to Santa Barbara when Camerata Pacifica brings their Baroque Showcase, “Strawberry Fields,” to the Music Academy of the West. Taking place Friday, February 28th at 7pm, the performance will celebrate two iconic composers who shared a passion for music and dance: George Frideric Handel and Ignatius Sancho.

“While Handel and Sancho never met each other, they inhabited the same world and shared one thing for certain: the transcendent joy that comes from a life of music and dance with good company. And if there is one thing that encapsulates the joy of togetherness in 18th-century England it was the English country dance,” shared Emi Ferguson, music director of the Camerata Pacifica Baroque series. “Sweating, laughing, spinning, holding hands…. Propelled onwards by the unrelenting groove of the music.”

The evening will feature Ferguson herself on flute and violinist Ellen Wong, alongside Baroque Continuo Band, Ruckus. Hailed as “the world’s only period instrument rock band” (San Francisco Classical Voice), the Ruckus roster includes Clay Zeller-Townson, bassoon; Coleman Itzkoff, cello; Elliott Figg, harpsichord; Paul Holmes Morton, guitar; Dušan Balarin, guitar; and Evan Premo, bass.

Joyful Proceedings: The Marriage of Figaro

ABy Robert F. Adams Special to VOICE

KALEIDOSCOPE OF COMIC MAYHEM, Opera

Santa Barbara’s new production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s famed The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze de Figaro) with an Italian libretto, farce-fully dazzled audiences this past weekend at the Lobero Theatre.

The opera premiered in Vienna centuries ago in 1786 and has become oft performed at Opera companies worldwide with many interpretations. The work has contagious music filled with buffoonish and exaggerated characters. This new production featured alumni performers of the Chrisman Studio Artists program. Stage director Sara E. Widzer brought to life the antics of these comical characters in a setting aboard a ship. This new version embarked on February 21st and 23rd to sell-out audiences at the Lobero Theatre.

With the sturdy piloting of Conductor Kostis Protopapas and chorus master and continuo player Timothy Accurso, this Opera Buffa in four succinct acts sounded a forceful route through the waves of the distinctive music. Supported by onpoint performances of the chorus and orchestral players, the musical dynamics were a key pillar of this production’s success. The atmospheric sets and projections, from scenic designer Yuki Izumihara with clear and mood-setting lighting from Helena Kukka were another strong element.

The scenery imagined a 1930s Art-Deco cruise ship, a type of geometricized glamour boat seen in the Marx Brothers’ 1931 comic caper Monkey Business. A Groucho Marx appearance

would not have been a surprise in this retro setting.

In this version of the opera, characters were wealthy cruise liner patrons and a merry team of servants, deck hands, and Charleston dancers, all creating a vibrant phalanx of outrageous characters and mistaken identity situations. The duets, recitatives, sextets, and arias heard in Act 3 were glorious highlights. Sunwoo Park and Colin Ramsey, as the romantic leads Figaro and Susanna, played off each other brilliantly. The accomplished Matthew Peterson as Count Almaviva was the most pompous brat that you could ever meet. Adrien Roberts, who filled in last minute as the Countess, offered a poignant foil to her philandering husband. Max Potter as Cherubino was always fun to hear and watch and Christina Pezzarossi as Marcellina was one of those larger than life demonstrative characters you might bump into while on the high seas. Rounding out the comical cast with style was Manfred Anaya as Don Basilio, E. Scott Levin as Bartolo, Byron Mayes as the roughneck Antonio, Oliva Lyon Barker as Barbarina, and William Grundler as Don Curzio.

Aided and abetted by Costume Designer Stacie Logue, the performers were perfectly outfitted for their shipboard antics. The audience rewarded the company with several standing ovations and flowers were shared with several characters. Then the conductor, director, choral director, and scenic staff took their deserved bows across the wide stage. The evening proved to be a successful frantic sailing across the seas of this staple of the opera repertoire.

Measure A Grant Funding Now Available

SAFE ROUTES AND TRAILS WILL BE RECEIVING MORE THAN $4.2 MILLION IN COMPETITIVE GRANT FUNDING over the next three years. The grants will support regional bicycle and pedestrian facilities and implement safety improvements near schools in Santa Barbara County’s South Coast communities. The program, known as the “Measure A Safe Routes to School, Bicycle and Pedestrian Program,” aims to expand and improve the South Coast’s regional bicycle and pedestrian facilities network.

“The majority of the City of Santa Barbara’s streets capital budget goes to pavement maintenance, and we depend on grant funding for any safety and active transportation projects. The Measure A grant program has been critical for funding many of the City’s school safety projects and bike/ped projects and planning efforts since the program’s inception. In the last grant

cycle, we were able to construct two critical multiuse paths, completing major gaps in our bike infrastructure along the regional COAST bike route and route to Santa Barbara Junior High,” said Jessica Grant, supervising transportation planner at City of Santa Barbara.

Measure A funding is available for use in the cities of Carpinteria, Goleta, Santa Barbara, and unincorporated communities in the South Coast. School districts, universities, colleges, transit agencies, and Caltrans are eligible to compete for funds, with a city or county sponsor.

“The Measure A program has delivered safer streets and better access to schools funding 95 projects in the South Coast since 2008 with over $14.9 million invested. This program has helped make walkability and bike-friendly improvements a

reality for schools and their surrounding areas,” said Marjie Kirn, executive director for SBCAG.

A call for projects and programs began February 20th with pre-applications due March 6th and the final application deadline is April 1st.

A scoring committee made up of one representative each from: the Cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, and the County of Santa Barbara; MOVE Santa Barbara County; Santa Barbara MTD; SBCAG; and Caltrans will evaluate and recommend projects for funding to the SBCAG Board of Directors by this summer.

For more information about the program, contact SBCAG by email at info@sbcag.org, by phone at (805) 961-8900, or online at www.sbcag.org

New Lowered Speed Limit Signs with Flags Going Up at Designated Locations

Installation

of Signs to Take a Few Weeks and Enforcement

to Begin Right Away

THE INSTALLATION OF ABOUT ONE HUNDRED NEW SPEED LIMIT SIGNS began on February 24th, on designated roads throughout Goleta. Orange flags will be installed on the new signs to alert drivers of the new speed limit. The project is anticipated to take a few weeks to complete, but once a sign is in place, the new speed limit is enforceable. The City encourages motorists to be mindful and adhere to the updated speed limits.

Changes will affect portions of the following roads: Calle Real, Cambridge Drive, Cathedral Oaks Road, Covington Way, Fairview Avenue, Glen Annie Road, Hollister Avenue, Kellogg Avenue, La Patera Lane, Los Carneros Road, Pacific Oaks Road, Patterson Avenue, Phelps Road, Storke Road, and Ward Drive. For a detailed breakdown of the exact locations and updated speed limits, please view the map here.

The new signs are a result of Assembly Bill 43 (AB 43), which came into effect in June 2024, and gives local municipalities new tools under the California Vehicle Code to lower speed limits for designated safety corridors, segments with a history of the highest

number of serious and fatal injuries, and areas with high concentrations of bicyclists and pedestrians.

Goleta Public Works Director Nina Buelna said, “As a Vision Zero City, the City of Goleta is committed to eliminating trafficrelated fatal and serious injuries from our roadway network. Lowering speed limits along designated roads throughout the City is an important part of that goal as research shows lower speed limits can reduce tragedies on the road. We encourage residents to join the City in making a safer Goleta for everyone.”

For more information on the City’s Vision Zero efforts, please visit our website at www.CityofGoleta.org/VisionZero or call the City at 805-562-5504.

A Fantasy of Flowers at the 77th International Orchid Show

By Destin Cavazos / VOICE

BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS WILL USHER IN the annual Santa Barbara International Orchid Show, returning to Earl Warren Showgrounds in its 77th year. This year’s event, themed Exotic Gardens, will take place March 7th through March 9th, inviting flower fans to explore vibrant orchid displays, educational gardening programs, and more.

“We can count on there to be orchids at the show that are from all around the world,”

shared Olivia Sorgman, the Executive Show Manager for the event.

“Sometimes, we say you can travel by plane to every continent to see all the orchids or just come to the Orchid Show and see them all under one roof.”

All weekend long, guests can take in art exhibits, photography, floral arrangements, and more, as well as shop for orchids to add to their own collection.

The weekend will also feature several hands-on workshops, including orchid mounting and a Kokedama Workshop with Alex from Raiz Feliz Plant Shop (both $65), as well as free repotting demonstrations.

Other special events include Orchid Serenity, a yoga and sound bath in the exhibit by Santa Barbara Beach Yoga and Foxy Sage (March 6th, 6 to 8pm, $45); and a private chef dinner in the exotic orchid gardens (March 7th, price TBD). A special Orchids After Dark event will take place Saturday, March 8th, inviting guests to explore the exhibition from 6 to 9pm while enjoying reduced crowds, a cash bar, live music, and Live Painting with Wine by Danielle Reneé. After Dark tickets start at $35.

“We will be hosting a DJ dancing evening party to turn up the energy and get a new demographic interested in the beauty of orchids,” said Sorgman on the unique experience, which will feature beats from DJ Claire Zielinski. “This year we have [also] added in several new

experiences for our guests. We have included a VIP tour that will be guided by an American Orchid Society member, walking through and explaining all of the different types of orchids, how to best care for your orchid and questions to ask when you’re purchasing an orchid from the sales Hall. They will also be pointing out any of the winning displays.”

The event has long had its roots in Santa Barbara, thanks to the moderate temperatures and moisture-rich coastal climate that help orchids thrive. As the area’s orchid industry continued to grow throughout the 1900’s, the Santa Barbara Horticultural Society held the Santa Barbara Cymbidium Show in 1946, showcasing more than $200,000 worth of top specimens at the Carrillo Recreation Center. The show outgrew the center in the 1950’s, eventually finding its home in Earl Warren’s rotunda building when construction completed in the early 1960’s, where it has remained ever since.

“The show also is a benefit to the community from a tourism perspective with hotels, restaurants and other businesses, seeing additional income from the people that travel to Santa Barbara for the special event,” shared Sorgman, who said the annual event often sees 30 percent of its attendees visiting from out of town.
