TOP BALLET STARS HERE THIS WEEKEND FOR DON QUIXOTE FESTIVAL BALLET
Photos by Dave Friedman Stars of the Ballet World will perform with Festival Ballet Theatre in FBT’s production of Don Quixote. Orange County audiences will enjoy a real treat, as two of ballet’s most prestigious dancers will appear as guest artists. Featured in the leading roles of Kitri and Basilio are Hee Seo and Marcelo Gomes paired as the passionate young lovers, who display the fiery gypsy spirit and excitement of old-world Spain. These dancers have each performed these roles in Festival Ballet Theatre’s Don Quixote production, receiving rave reviews. This will be the first time they are appearing together. Set to Ludwig Minkus’ memorable score, this classic is a ballet lover’s favorite. Don Quixote features these internationally acclaimed guest artists as well as Festival Ballet Theatre’s professional company dancers and a boisterous cast of characters that create vibrant scenes from days gone by. This ballet brings Cervantes’ quintessential novel to life as the eccentric, wandering knight, searches to find his ideal woman, Dulcinea, accompanied by his loyal sidekick, Sancho Panza. Page 4

LEGENDARY ’60 MINUTES’ REPORTER TO APPEAR LOCALLY APRIL 21 Lesley Stahl, one of America’s most recognized broadcast journalists, will discuss her New York Times bestselling book “Becoming Grandma: The Joys and Science of the New Grandparenting” in Mission Viejo on April 21. This legendary “60 Minutes” reporter will appear in the city’s popular Writers Present series at 7 p.m. at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way. After four decades as a reporter, Stahl’s most vivid and transformative experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state or researching stories at “60 Minutes.” It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected she wanted to “investigate” it—as though it were a news flash. So, she explored how grand-mothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw) as well as the proverbial woman next door. Stahl’s career has been marked by political scoops, surprising
features and award-winning foreign reporting. She has been a “60 Minutes” correspondent since 1991; the 2015-2016 season marked her 25th on the broadcast. Before joining “60 Minutes,” Stahl served as CBS News White House correspondent during the Carter, Reagan and part of the George H.W. Bush presidencies. She also hosted “Face the Nation” from 1983 to 1991 and co-anchored “America Tonight” from 1989 to 1990. In an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl’s book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship. Her appearance in Mission Viejo comes just before Mother’s Day and is the perfect gift for any mother or grandmother. Tickets are either $32, which includes admittance for two along with one hardback book, or $18.50, which includes admittance for two and one trade paperback book. Click HERE for tickets, which are limited. For more information, contact 949830-7100, ext. 5105 or libreference@ cityofmissionviejo.org.

TRENDS TO ENHANCE YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
No matter the season or the region, outdoor living is more popular than ever, as homeowners look to “bring the indoors out” and create spaces that are true extensions of the home. The newest designs in outdoor living spaces do not simply feature the look of the indoors, but the functionality as well. “Advances in all-weather materials have made it possible for homeowners to enjoy more and more of their favorite activities outside,” said Adam Zambanini, vice president of marketing for Trex Company, the world’s No. 1 decking and railing brand and leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products. “The movement toward ‘outdoor rooms’ has evolved into fully functional outdoor kitchens and entertainment centers that make it even more difficult to determine where the indoors end and the outdoors begin.” Regardless of the size of your deck – or budget – these simple tips from the experts at Trex can add interior function to your outdoor oasis: Absolute Al Fresco While grilling and al fresco dining are longtime hallmarks of backyard entertaining, outdoor kitchens are now finally living up to their name. From storing seat cushions to keeping drinks cold, today’s outdoor kitchen
accessories can make outdoor spaces look as put-together as the rest of the home. Among the newest advancements is the Trex Outdoor Kitchens collection, which features outdoor cabinetry and functional elements such as trash bins, ice chests and storage drawers that eliminate the need for back-and-forth trips inside the home. Railing Redefined Even railings have taken on a more functional role in today’s backyards. One of the most popular trends is “cocktail railing,” which provides a flat surface for drinks and plates. By using a matching deck board to create a shelf for the top rail, you can achieve a look that complements your home’s deck, while making great use of space. Lights, Please Lighting is another “bright” idea for adding versatility to the outdoors. Lighting systems that incorporate deck lighting and other exterior lighting work together to create ambiance that can be adjusted for any setting. By choosing which outdoor elements to highlight, it’s easy to change the look of an outdoor living space without moving any furniture. Connection Protection The idea of enjoying a favorite show or movie outdoors has always been enticing, but not exactly practical.
However, with advancements in both equipment and equipment storage, enjoying the big screen experience in the great outdoors has never been easier. Electronics manufacturers now offer televisions and entertainment equipment specifically designed for the outdoors, taking into consideration differences in lighting and outdoor acoustics. Meanwhile, storage options now include durable, wall-mounted television and entertainment centers that beautifully conceal and protect pricey electronics from the elements. Material Matters Just because people are spending more time on their decks doesn’t mean
they’re willing to put in extra hours for maintenance. Wood alternatives, particularly wood-plastic composites, are especially popular due to their low-maintenance features. Unlike wood, composite decking such as Trex Transcend, resists fading, staining, scratching and mold – and won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter. No sanding, staining or painting is required, and food and drink spills wash off easily with soap and water. The latest generation of composite decking also features wood-grain patterns and rich, saturated colors that look and feel more natural than ever before.

Del Dotto Vineyards - Dave Del Dotto with Yolanda Del Dotto, Desiree Photos by Nick Koon Del Dotto, and Giovanni Del Dotto Renowned winemakers, collectors and enthusiasts joined forces with Orange County music lovers to support Pacific Symphony at the 10th annual Pacific Coast Wine Festival (PCWF), raising more than $240,000 for the orchestra’s artistic and education programs. The event was held at the elegant five-diamond Island Hotel in Newport Beac with nearly 300 guests enjoying an abundant selection of over 35 first-class wineries to taste from, a delicious wine-paired feast and both silent and live auctions offering rare bottles and one-of-a-kind experiences. As a special treat for the anniversary, guests had the opportunity to also taste the Top 12 Wines from Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list, as well as bid on a package to take these award-winning wines home during the live auction. Chaired by Greg Bates, this year’s committee put together a sensational offering of wines from the Bordeaux region of France, to Italy’s Tuscany, to Spain, South Africa and back home to the exclusive boutique wineries of Sonoma and Napa Valley. Pouring wineries included Beekeeper Cellars, Blackbird Vineyards, Bougetz Cellars, Chateau Haut-Batailley, Chateau La Vieille Cure, Chateau Maillet, David Arthur Vineyards, Del Dotto Vineyards, Tyler Olbres, Proprietor of Nellcote, Napa Valley with Ethan Kay, Nina Domaine Daniel Dampt, Herb Lamb Vineyards, Kaapzicht, Loring Wine Kay, Jane Lee, and Ben Kwon, Board Member of Pacific Symphony Company, Montemaggio, Nellcôte, Pont Neuf, Privé Vineyard, Progeny Winery, Riverain Vineyards, Trinitas Cellars, Vega Sicilia, Vignamato, Villiera Wines, William Cole Vineyards and Zotovich Vineyards. Also, included in the tasting were the Top 12 Wines from Wine Spectator’s Top 100, including Lewis, Domaine Serene, Beaux Frères, Château Climens, Produttori del Barbaresco, Orin Swift, Ridge, Antinori, Château Smith-HautLafitte, Hartford Family, Hamilton Russell and Abadia Retuerta. For the second year, PCWF featured an upgraded $10,000 table experience with paired wines from a single winery, a winery representative to explain the wine pairings, an enhanced dinner menu, varietal stemware and elevated décor. Wineries pouring at the exclusive Jeroboam-level tables were Del Dotto, William Cole and Blackbird. Guests were welcomed by Greg Bates and Joann Leatherby. As they dined, they enjoyed a performance of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” by Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra alum, cellist Samantha Lee and cellist Jonathan Kim, a Debut Artist at Carnegie Hall. Soon after, charismatic auctioneer Jim Nye brought the crowd’s attention to the live auction, which featured a bounty of delectable, one-of-a-kind wines to take home and unique travel Tim and Alissa Lomakin Sam and Susan Anderson and dining experiences. Color commentary by Ian Blackburn of Beekeeper Cellers added to the excitement. Among the most desired auction items was a Private Jet to Napa for three couples to experience a two-night stay at the Meritage Resort and Spa and to enjoy tasting experiences across the valley, which sold for $17,000 to Maria and John Young. Next, three couples won the Truffle Hunt Under the Tuscan Sun package, which includes seven nights at the private Cortona Countryside Villa overlooking the Valdichiana Valley. This unique prize went to Lauren and Richard Packard, Pat and Rick McAuley and Laura and Ed Cunningham, each for $6,400. Monette and Steve Zotovich took home “Big Boys,” which included 15 Magnums from 2001 to 2013 for $5,700. Pacific Symphony is led by Music Director Carl St. Clair and is the largest orchestra formed in the United States in the last 50 years. The Symphony’s education and community programs strive to inspire people of all ages to perform and love symphonic music by serving the community with programming that is built on meaningful partnerships and features the world-class musicians of Pacific Symphony.

THE BEST WAYS TO SUPPORT VETERANS IN 2017
As the new administration and Congress settle into office, many organizations are working hard to put America’s 21 million veterans at the top of the nation’s “to-do” list. “Veterans share a common thread regardless of where they served or for how long - they are driven to protect our country and ensure freedom for all citizens,” says DAV (Disabled American Veterans) National Commander Dave Riley. “At the same time, they face unique challenges, from health problems related to their military service to translating their job skills into meaningful employment opportunities. It’s our nation’s duty to support veterans once they return home.” The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reports that 20 percent of veterans who served since 9/11 are estimated to have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Twenty veterans take their lives every day, most of whom never seek help from the VA, and many veterans struggle to find employment, often leading to homelessness. To help change the lives of countless veterans and their families, DAV has suggested three priorities for
our country’s leaders in 2017: * Ensure veterans have access to quality and timely health care, including effective mental health services. Changes in the health care system for veterans are critical according to leading veterans service organizations like DAV and VFW, as well as bipartisan leaders in Congress. They all agree the best path forward is to create local, highperforming health care networks, led by the VA, which combine the best of VA with the best of community care. * Give needed benefits to the caregivers of veterans. While caregivers for veterans who served after 9/11 receive benefits and resources, caregivers of veterans who served in earlier conflicts, such as World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam, do not receive them. This law must be amended and made inclusive. * Educate employers about the value of hiring veterans, particularly those with disabilities. A recent survey of employers released by DAV, Monster.com and Military.com reveals 30 percent of employers worry about hiring veterans with PTSD. However, the vast majority of

PACIFIC SYMPHONY YOUTH ORCHESTRA RETURNS TO THE STAGE FOR A MOVING PROGRAM WHERE DIVERSITY AND MAGNITUDE REIGN The stunning virtuosity of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra, led by Assistant Conductor Roger Kalia, will be on full display for an evening of soaring symphonic masterpieces sure to thrill the audience. Prepare to feel compelled by the regal fanfares of Wagner’s Overture to “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg”; captivated by the homegrown Americana of Copland’s “Billy the Kid” Suite (preceded by a variety of musical excerpts from the suite that will be played and discussed from the stage); and transformed by the enveloping tranquility found in Respighi’s “Church Windows.” For the young musicians, it’s an evening of demanding works and an opportunity to shine. For the audience, it’s a chance to sit back and enjoy a uniquely memorable showcase of young talent and aweinspiring artistry during this masterful evening of diverse music. “This will be PSYO’s second concert of the season, and I am always amazed by the musicality and artistry of the orchestra,” says Maestro Kalia. “The program itself is extremely challenging but they are more than up to the task. I have been so pleased with the improvement and hard work that our musicians put in week after week. We had an immensely successful season opening concert back in November, and I am thrilled to witness how much they have bonded as an orchestra since then, both musically and personally.” PSYO’s Spring Concert takes place Sunday, March 26, at 7 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Thanks to the generosity of sponsor Carlos Mollura, this concert is free to attend, but tickets are required. To reserve a general admission seat, call the Symphony’s box office at (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “Every piece is stylistically different from the other, which makes for a program that is eclectic and unique, as well as being extremely educational for our musicians,” states Kalia. “In general, I love to program works of great variety for our audience, while also making sure that our musicians are playing as many different styles of music as possible. The music of Wagner is heavy and thick, while Copland Page 16
requires a playfulness and rhythmic feel that is extremely unique to any other composer. Respighi’s sound world requires power and endurance, while also being extremely intimate and nostalgic.” Wagner ’s Overture to “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg” is grand and majestic in terms of its sound world. The opera, or as Wagner liked to call it, the “music drama,” was written between 1862 and 1867, but it is clear that Wagner had crystallized the themes well before it was completed. The overture, which contains the main themes, was finished long before the opera and was played several times on its own for concerts. It’s a brief, 10-minute work that combines the power of the brass with lush and rich melodies from the strings. The nobility of character that Wagner ascribes to Meistersinger’s dramatic “hero” is suggested at the outset of his Prelude to Act I, which opens with a heraldic theme in which the prominence of the brass foreshadows its prevalent use throughout. Wagner was a master at capturing the different themes musically from each character in the opera, and this can be clearly heard in the music. Copland’s “Billy the Kid” Suite is a musical depiction of the American Wild West. It was originally a oneact ballet, based on a semi-fictional treatment of the notorious outlaw William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid. This suite features the most famous musical numbers from the ballet. Copland quotes authentic cowboy songs such as “Goodbye Old Paint,” “Git Along, Little Doggies” and “Old Paint,” and adapts them into his own unique musical language. This is Copland depicting the American sound at its finest: jaunty, irregular rhythms; simple, triadic harmonies, and intimate and grand orchestral texture. There are numerous solo features for the musicians in the orchestra, “which is extremely exciting for them,” notes Kalia. Vivid, energetic and beautiful, and also easily understood, the music captures the imagination with ease. “In addition to the actual music, I plan on exploring Copland’s ‘Billy the Kid’ Suite with a pre-performance discussion about the music, which will feature a variety of musical excerpts. I

Assistant Conductor Roger Kalia feel very strongly about engaging with our audience, and giving them background on the music that they will be listening to in order for them to appreciate the music even more during the actual performance.” Respighi’s “Church Windows” was adapted from an earlier piano suite of his, and although it is not a programmatic work, the listener can’t help but imagine various storied stained glass windows throughout the piece. There are numerous solo features, most notably in the clarinet and trumpet, and heavy brass and percussion. The organ is also featured, particularly in the fourth movement, with Respighi ending the piece in a grand and heroic fashion. During PSYO’s concert, the piece will be enhanced visually by images of stained glass windows from different churches projected on the concert hall’s big screen. “Respighi’s ‘Church Windows’ is a rarely performed work, which is quite puzzling to me since there are so many wonderful musical moments for the orchestra,” says Kalia. “Pacific Symphony actually recorded this work in the early 1990s, which goes to show the musical
abilities of the PSYO.” Similar in style from Respighi’s more famous “Pines of Rome,” the work is cast in four movements that depict various religious events in the stained glass windows of Italian churches. “We will also be displaying various images and artwork onto a projection screen of stained glass windows from different churches throughout Italy during our performance of the Respighi.” Together the program’s pieces take the audience on an enthralling musical journey that travels down widely varying paths. “I just want to say that this is the perfect concert for a first-time concertgoer,” adds Kalia. “The combination of musical selections as well as an amazing, top-level youth orchestra will make for a magnificent evening.” PSYO has emerged as Orange County’s premier training orchestra, offering performance opportunities to instrumentalists in grades 9-12 and providing members with a high-quality and innovative artistic experience that encourages musical and personal growth. It is one of three highly coveted education programs under the umbrella of the Pacific Symphony Youth Ensembles.

With all the time off, the holiday season is a great time to earn sweat equity on your home. Here are 3 easy projects anyone can do to increase the value of their home.
1. FIX THE SIMPLE THINGS
There are many common things around the house like hinges, wheels on doors, light bulbs, electrical switches, running toilets, and even faucets that are relatively simple items to address. There are many helpful people at your local hardware store that will happily help you figure out how to solve these issues. Your home will attract a higher price if there is less to fix.
2. CREATE A FRESH OUTDOOR SPACE
The outdoor spaces are very important to many buyers. There are many simple things you can do around the yard including planting fresh flowers, cleaning overgrown areas, trimming trees, power washing patios, and cleaning outdoor appliances that can really increase the appeal of your property by making the outdoor space feel fresh.
3. PAINTING IN STYLE
You’ve seen all the home improvement shows and the house flipping shows. What’s the one thing that always gets the most bang for the buck? Interior paint of course. I would love to help you choose paint colors that are most popular with buyers in the current market. Painting is easy and can even be fun. Almost anyone can do it!
