Orange County Fire Authority Urges You to Change Your Batteries When You Change Your Clocks Sunday, November 3rd 2013 As we change our clocks backward this weekend, now is the time to check your smoke alarms and change the batteries. According to the Orange County Fire Authority, this is the best time to check your smoke alarm and change their batteries! Nationally, approximately 75% of failed smoke alarms are due to missing batteries. “A recent fire in Santa Ana resulted in the death of a woman and serious injury to her husband” said OCFA Fire Marshal Laura Blaul. “There were no smoke alarms in their home, which is typical in almost every home fire resulting in serious injury or death. A smoke alarm is essential in providing you the extra time you need to safely get out of your home. Make sure you have one in every sleeping area; Make sure your family is safe”. We are asking the community to join the OCFA in efforts to reduce risks, the OCFA has developed a program called “Install, Inspect, Protect.” Key components include: Install: Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, inside each sleeping area, and in every hallway leading to sleeping areas. Replace the entire unit every 10 years Inspect: Test your hard-wired and battery operated smoke alarms every month Change the batteries twice a
year, when changing your clocks for both battery operated and hard wired smoke alarms. Clean your smoke alarms every year. Protect: Plan a home escape plan and ensure that everyone in the household knows the sound the alarm makes and what to do if they hear it.
Identify two ways out of each room and designate a meeting place outside the home to account for family members in the event of an emergency. Practice your home fire drills every six months and remember to crawl lo under the smoke & go. Call 911 immediately and ensure that everyone knows your Home
Escape Plan. This weekend change your clocks and change your smoke alarm batteries too. You could be saving the lives of yourself and others. For more valuable information, please visit “Install, Inspect Protect” at www.ocfa.org and on Facebook.

Practice makes perfect: a dress rehearsal for your turkey The holidays are approaching and before you know it, you’ll be thinking about that daunting task of cooking a turkey. This holiday season, make sure your bird impresses all the guests and relatives by conducting a dress rehearsal for your turkey. More than 88 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving, according to a National Turkey Federation survey. But before doing so, why not do a dry run and prepare a turkey, or try a smaller bird like chicken, using a brining technique that is sure to be a crowd pleaser? It’s the hot new culinary trend that’s got everyone from celebrity chefs to home cooks buzzing. But even though brining may be the latest technique to sweep kitchens, it’s hardly new. Mankind has been brining since ancient times. It probably started out, hundreds of millennia ago, as a way of preserving seafood with sea salt. The technique has come a long way since, and now food lovers everywhere, in typical what’s-old-is-new-again fashion, are rediscovering the benefits of brining. Think you don’t have the tools to brine? Chef Helen Roberts, director of culinary development at Kikkoman, has perfected the turkey brine. The brine is simple: salt, sugar, water, dried spices and the magic ingredient:
soy sauce. Pull out your refrigerator drawer or a large, deep bucket to brine your bird. After you’ve stirred your ingredients and placed your turkey in the liquid, let the brine work its magic overnight. What’s the secret behind brining? Brining has a tenderizing and moisturizing effect. The brine is absorbed and diffused throughout the meat as it soaks overnight. In addition, Roberts explains that soy sauce has a savory effect that seals in the turkey flavor and moisture. “Brining makes a big difference when you’re roasting meat. You’ll have the juiciest bird you’ve ever tasted,” says Roberts. But, as we all know, a turkey isn’t the only thing on the kitchen table - check out some recipes here that will leave your taste buds craving for more. Savory Turkey Brine Ingredients (Recipe for a 16 to 24 pound turkey) 2 gallons cold water 10 ounces Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce 1/2 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons dried sage 2 tablespoons dried celery seed 1 tablespoon dried thyme Instructions The night before roasting, remove
giblets and turkey neck; rinse turkey inside and out. In a large stock pot or 5 gallon bucket, mix water with remaining ingredients. Stir well until all the salt is dissolved. Place turkey in the pot, cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Remove turkey from the brine, rinsing well. Follow your regular cooking instructions. Brining isn’t just for meat though. Brine veggies for a rich, savory taste. Perhaps one of the trendiest veggies, Brussels sprouts, are a prime candidate for a soy sauce brine. Sick of the same old side dishes? Now that you’ve brined your turkey, get creative with your side dishes too. Put a spin on classic mashed potatoes with the Wasabi Mashed Potatoes recipe found on www.kikkomanusa.com. The spice
and heat will balance out the creamy texture of the mashed potatoes. If you have leftover turkey, try a completely new dish instead of just reheating. Keep enjoying your juicy turkey by adding to a stir fry, include in a salad or in a tetrazzini. For leftover mashed potatoes, use panko to transform into crunchy, warm Panko Mashed Potato Cakes. Have you ever wondered ... why turkey for Thanksgiving? Turkeys became a Thanksgiving staple after the Native Americans introduced turkey to the Pilgrims back in 1621 during the first Thanksgiving meal. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, try this brining recipe to keep turkey juicy and moist, and you are bound to enjoy a wonderful meal with friends and family.
Prevent Blindness America Launches “Eat For Your Eyes” Online Recipe Contest Original Recipes Sought That Include Eye Healthy Ingredients and Benefit Those With, or Who Are AtRisk For, Diabetes. The number of those with diabetes and prediabetes continues to rise every year. And according to the 2012 Vision Problems in the U.S. report from Prevent Blindness America and the National Eye Institute, more than 7.6 million people ages 40 and older have diabetic retinopathy. The longer someone has diabetes, the more they are at-risk for vision loss from diabetic eye disease and related eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataract. Fortunately, for some, simple lifestyle changes can help delay or even prevent developing diabetes and its effects in the future. Maintaining a healthy diet is one of those steps. As part of Prevent Blindness America’s “Live Right, Save Sight!” program, in conjunction with declaring November as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, the national non-profit group is conducting an online contest seeking recipes that benefit those with diabetes and include ingredients that are also healthy for the eyes. The contest will run from Nov. 1-30, 2013. Those interested in participating may visit preventblindness.org/diabetes to enter. All entries should include: • Recipe name • List of ingredients with measurements (must include at Page 4
least two eye healthy ingredients and adhere to diabetes-friendly guidelines) • Description of how it is prepared • Explanation about why the recipe entry is healthy for diabetes patients and those with prediabetes • Full name • Address • Phone number • Email address Winners will be chosen at random from all entrants that comply with the contest rules. First prize will be awarded a $200 Amazon.com gift card, second prize will be awarded a $100 Amazon.com gift card and third prize will receive a $50 Amazon.com gift card. The winning recipes will also be published on the Live Right, Save Sight! program section of the Prevent Blindness America website. “We know that diabetes and vision loss is a serious issue that continues to negatively affect millions of Americans,” said Hugh R. Parry, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness America. “It is our hope that through the ‘Eat for Your Eyes’ contest, we can encourage people to think about steps they can take today, even through diet modification, that can help save vision in the future.” As part of the Live Right, Save Sight! program, Prevent Blindness America offers the following recommendations: • Visit an eye doctor at least once a year if you have diabetes or if you are at high risk. For some, diabetic retinopathy is one of the first signs of
The Ladera Ranch News
diabetes. • Maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, even a modest weight loss can help prevent Type 2 diabetes. • Increase your physical activity. Exercising 30 minutes a day, five times a week can cut your risk of Type 2 diabetes by more than half. It is important to check with your doctor before starting an exercise program. • Watch and control your blood sugar levels. • Maintain a healthy blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the risk of eye disease, as well as heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. It may be necessary to change diet and exercise habits or take medication to keep blood pressure under control. • If you smoke – quit. Quitting smoking can significantly reduce the risk for diabetic retinopathy as well as provide other health benefits. • All women who are pregnant or who are planning to become pregnant and have been diagnosed with diabetes should get a full, dilated eye exam. For more information on the Eat for Your Eyes contest, including a complete copy of the contest rules and eligibility requirements, as well as information on diabetic eye disease, please call Prevent
Blindness America at (800) 3312020 or visit preventblindness.org/ diabetes.

Ryan Reed, 20, of Bakersfield, Calif., is chasing his dream to become a top NASCAR driver. He’s racing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series events this year as a development driver for one of the top names in the sport, all while taking care of his type 1 diabetes. Diabetes entered Reed’s life in February 2011, just as his career was taking off - he was Rookie of the Year, Super Late Model division, Toyota Speedway, at age 17. With a strong effort to continue on, Reed’s hopes grew as he read about other athletes competing with diabetes. He contacted Indy driver Charlie Kimball’s endocrinologist, Anne Peters, MD, who couldn’t promise he’d be able to compete but did promise that she’d help him seize every opportunity if he would strive for it. Kimball was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2007. Reed was determined, and connected with dieticians and personal trainers to help him conduct the insulin, eating and exercise plan he’d need to compete in top form. With their help, Reed works out with a mix of aerobic, weight, endurance and yoga training, and has a carefully balanced eating plan, which he regularly fine-tunes to ensure the optimal mix of protein, fat and carbohydrates for practice, race days and recovery. Service to others is also a big part of Reed’s life. Soon after his diagnosis, he formed a nonprofit organization, Ryan’s Mission, to help
build awareness and positively touch the lives of people that have been affected by diabetes. He enjoys the special bond he has with people living with diabetes. Ryan and his Mission have joined forces with the American Diabetes Association’s efforts by creating the Drive-to Stop Diabetes(SM) campaign, with awareness and educational events organized at select NASCAR Nationwide races, as well as at several off-track health and wellness initiatives throughout 2013. So far this year, Reed’s No. 16 Drive to Stop Diabetes Ford Mustang has appeared at Bristol Motor Speedway, Richmond International Raceway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. “I am excited to have the opportunity to work with the American Diabetes Association to help give back to those in the diabetes community by creating awareness and educating people on this disease,”-he says. “As one of the nearly 26 million people living in the U.S. with diabetes, I hope to inspire
others living with diabetes to not let it interfere with reaching their dreams.” During American Diabetes Month(R) this November, Reed and the Drive to Stop Diabetes team will be supporting the Association’s A Day in the Life of Diabetescampaign. The Association will continue to ask people to submit a personal image to their Facebook mosaic representing what diabetes means to them at www.DiabetesMosaic.org. To make the mosaic more impactful this year, Reed’s Drive to Stop Diabetes car will be wrapped with photos from the mosaic and will be featured at Phoenix International Raceway on Nov. 9. “I encourage everyone to upload their picture representing what A Day in the Life of Diabetes means to them on the Association’s Facebook mosaic for a chance to be on the Ford Mustang in Phoenix,” says Ryan. For more information on Drive to Stop Diabetes, please visit www. DriveToStopDiabetes.org.

local dentist discusses archaic-sounding modern technology I just did three fillings using the Whisper-Jet (sand blaster) on a thirtyfive year old patient. He asked me why this Dr. Michael Tessier procedure was necessary, and here’s what I told him: Just like any other situation, early detection is always a good thing. The grooves in the chewing surfaces of the molars get to the point where they’re narrower than one bristle of a toothbrush. So, a patient can’t get in there to clean those grooves, but the acidic end-products of bacterial metabolism can. When we use a drill on a small cavity, we can only make the whole as small as the diameter of the drill allows. So really small cavities would require removal of much more tooth structure than necessary. Also, using the drill would require anesthetic because of the discomfort that arises from both the rotational vibration of the drill and the heat of friction that ensues as the drill cuts the tooth structure. And, drilling on any crystalline substance, like tooth enamel, can result in micro-fractures that can, in the case of tooth structure,
lead to tooth fractures in later years. So, we use a sandblaster that most often leaves a much leaves a smaller hole, doesn’t cause discomfort from the heat of friction or the rotational vibration of the drill, and doesn’t lead to fractures of tooth structure. Then we fill the hole in the tooth with a liquid plastic material which thru capillary action gets into the pores of the enamel, sealing those pores and preventing leakage. In fact, if we were still doing silver/ mercury fillings ( and we don’t even have the facility to do amalgam fillings, anymore), the sandblaster would be inadequate because we’d need a bigger hole to pack that obsolete filling material into. Definitely a case of cooperative evolution. When we have to do cavities on children’s adult molars, we use the sandblaster, thereby avoiding the need for a shot, removing less tooth structure, and reducing the possibility of fractures way in the future. When I see all the factors cataloged like that, the value of the whole procedure is a big “no duh”. Modern technology strikes again. Please call my office (949-459-7212) if you have any questions about this or any other of dentistry’s modern technologies. The office is located at Oso and Antonio Parkways, the center with the car wash and Starbucks.

Guide to Luxury Watches with the Best Resale Value By Michael Felix Luxury watches just like any other commodity decrease in value over time. However some wristwatches go down in value a lot faster than others. Brand new luxury watches are priced really high and never cost less than three or four thousand dollars. A lot of consumers that buy luxury watches do not really care about the depreciation in value factor and only look at the watch design and the price tag. There is nothing wrong with buying luxury watches based only on their price tag or design. However doing so consumers may get frustrated to see their luxury watches depreciate in value so drastically. Of course that happens only when consumers try
to sell their wristwatches. But most consumers sooner or later tend to sell or trade-in their luxury watches for new ones so losses can be very costly. Depreciation in value depends on various factors, however number one factor is of course the watch brand. A luxury watch brand that is extremely famous and is associated with luxury, prestige and high quality will have a better resale value on their watches. For example, Rolex watches do not decrease in value as fast as Piaget watches do. As a matter of fact Rolex watches are the best at keeping their resale value. And not surprisingly so, since Rolex watch company is so famous that almost anyone can tell that this watch brand manufactures luxury and very prestigious watches. However, Rolex watches are not the only ones that keep their resale value greatly. Watches from brands like Audemars Piguet, Omega, Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, Officine Panerai, JaegerLeCoultre, A. Lange & Sohne, Cartier, IWC, Breitling and Patek
Philippe can keep their resale value greatly too. Another important factor why watches keep their resale value greatly is the rarity or scarcity of a watch.Limited edition watches from famous luxury watch brands tend to be in a lot of demand. Since only a certain amount of them will be manufactured, lets say only one thousand, watch collectors and watch enthusiasts could be in a big interest about it. Just like with any other commodity limited edition always means eventual scarcity of an item. For example, a lot of luxury watch companies manufacture limited edition watches and some times even anniversary edition watches. All this makes watches very collectible and in a big demand especially when all edition is already sold out. For example, watch brand Audemars Piguet manufactures a very collectible Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph watch. This watch keeps it’s resale value greatly. Another example is a watch brand Breitling and their watch collection Breitling for Bentley. Watches from the collection Breitling for Bentley are very popular and collectible and keep their resale value greatly.
Precious metals like gold and precious stones like diamonds do not help with keeping great resale value of the watch. Gold and platinum made watches usually depreciate in value a lot faster than stainless steel ones. The same watch model that is made of eighteen karat gold will depreciate in value faster than the same watch model made of stainless steel. Watches that are decorated with precious stone like diamonds, sapphires or rubies depreciate in value a lot faster too. Also customizing luxury watches with precious stones will not help with keeping great resale value. For example, customizing a wristwatch with aftermarket diamond bezel, diamond dial or even custom paving and decorating the watch with diamonds. Purchasing brand new luxury watch, just like any other valuable item, should require at lest some basic research. Investing time to learn more about the watch brand and popularity of a watch brand amongst watch enthusiasts or watch collectors can help in making the right decision about the resale value of a watch. When purchasing a luxury wristwatch think of it as investment and not just a regular buy.

Together,
we can finish the fight. Enroll in Cancer Prevention Study-3. On December 3-5, residents of south Orange County can help make a difference by participating in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study (CPS-3). This historical study will help us better understand the factors that cause or prevent cancer. To participate in the study you must be between the ages of 30 and 65, never been diagnosed with cancer and are willing to make a long-term commitment (20-30 years) that consists of a follow-up questionnaire every three years. At enrollment, you’ll fill out a short comprehensive survey on health history provide a small blood sample (to be collected by trained phlebotomists) along with a waist measurement. That’s it! “Because I’m a cancer survivor, I’m not eligible to participate, but I know how important these cancer prevention studies are in the fight against cancer,” said Steve Bell, American Cancer Society lead volunteer. “To help save lives, I’m encouraging my family, friends and community to participate in honor of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors today in the U.S. who are celebrating another birthday like me.” For enrollment sites or to schedule an appointment, visit cps3southoc.org or call 1.888.604.5888.

Barons’ Ball, “Boots on Beach,” Raises $170,000 for American Cancer Society The 15th OC Barons Ball took place at its original home, the Dunes in Newport Beach, with Margo Ferris, as Ball Chair and Kay Burra, presiding as President of the OC Barons’ League. Formerly known as the Cattle Baron’s League, this group of volunteer’s mission is to eradicate cancer. The $170,000 proceeds from 200 people attending the gala was a 100 percent increase from last year. Proceeds from the western gala will fund the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving research, educational programs, advocacy and patient services like wigs and transportation to doctor appointments. To date, the volunteers of the OC Barons’ League have raised nearly $5 million in the fight against cancer. Guests dressed in western attire, danced to Danny Memphis & the Extraordinaires and dined on western fare including clam chowder, steak, potatoes, veggies and an assortment of deserts. The guests enjoyed the silent and live auctions, wine toss; spin the wheel and wind tunnel cash machines. Exciting auction items included a cruise in a private jet donated by Clay Lacy Aviation, a week in a 6,000 square feet luxury home on Sunset Beach, a $9,000 Corum watch, a week in a Palm Desert home with a round of golf for four, a “Lucy & Desi” style Chocolate Party and a week in Branson, Missouri. Sponsors included Platinum, Don and Ellen Goodwin and Bold Bobbitt and Bill Williams and Steve and Brenda Sherwood. Bobbitt Williams was also the superstar Underwriting Chair this year. “At one point during my 17 years of volunteering for ACS, someone asked “why” and I thought about it, thinking I hadn’t been touched by cancer, said Margo Ferris, Ball Chair. “Then I looked at my family and realized where my passion for fighting cancer began. I have lost my father-in-law, motherin-law, an uncle, an aunt, and grandfather to cancer. My brother, father, aunt, uncle, cousin, and many friends are all survivors. So I continue my crusade against cancer because I don’t want cancer to take or touch any more of the people that I love.” This year, it is estimated that 11,630 people in Orange County will hear the words: “You have cancer,” nearly 144,035 statewide. Because of recent breakthroughs in research and cancer education, more than 63 percent of them will live high quality lives for more than five years past their diagnosis. They want to exceed survival past diagnosis to further support research, patient services, advocacy and educational programs for Orange County families. Last year, the American Cancer Society, which funded the research that discovered the mammogram, Pap smear and Tamoxifin, helped more than 3,281 local cancer patients with free transportation for medical treatments, wigs, one-on-one emotional support, resource referrals, vital information, and other necessities. Nationally, the Society has invested more than $3.4 billion in cancer research, including funding 44 Nobel Laureates and investing $63.5 million last year in California-based research programs.

BOB BAKER’S HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR November 9 -January 5, 2014 The Bob Baker Marionette Theater continues its 51st season with “Bob Baker’s Holiday Spectacular” playing November 9-January 5, 2014. One of the theater ’s most requested shows, “Bob Baker’s Holiday Spectacular” has charmed audiences for generations. Join the Wizard of Fantasy and his side kick Demi Star as they embark on a magical journey with a fantastical cast of over 100 exquisitely designed marionettes, celebrating everything from the eight days of Chanukah to a trip to Santa’s Workshop. These celebrated marionettes are presented in Bob Baker’s now famous “In the Round” cabaret style, with the puppeteers not only exposed to the audience, but serving as an integral part of the proceedings . . . and also making the audience part of the show. “Bob Baker’s Holiday Spectacular” is guaranteed to bring out the holiday spirit in children of all ages. After the performance, guests are invited to visit with the Puppeteers and have refreshments in the Party Room. The Bob Baker Marionette Theater in downtown Los Angeles is the oldest of its kind in the United States and has been entertaining children of all ages since its inception in 1960. At that time, Bob Baker and his business partner Alton Wood turned a scene shop in Los Angeles into the family entertainment landmark that it is today. Jennifer Steinhauer of The New York Times has described Baker’s shows as “a staple of a Los Angeleno childhood. It is the cultural equivalent of the annual march by the nation’s third graders to the neighborhood firehouse.” On June 3, 2009, The Bob Baker Marionette Theater was declared an historic cultural monument by the city of Los Angeles.

More About Bob Baker Bob Baker first became interested in puppetry at the age of five, and has since become an innovator, artist, puppet master, and top-notch animator with credits in television and film. His marionettes have entertained thousands of children and adults worldwide over the years. Mr. Baker has a current inventory of over three thousand puppets, with just about everything from robots that light up, to dancing frogs, to egg laying chickens. Bob began to learn the magic of puppetry at the early age of eight. He trained with several different local companies and put his skills to work with his first professional performance for director Mervyn Leroy. After graduating from Hollywood High School, he began his extensive career in animation at the George Pal Studios. He began as an apprentice and soon became a top animator of “Puppetoons” a year later. After WWII, Bob began manufacturing toy marionettes that sold both in Europe and the United States. Fifty of the finest department stores in the country carried his line including Bullocks Wilshire, Saks Fifth Avenue, Niemen Marcus, FAO Schwarz, and Marshall Fields. Bob also served as an animation advisor at many film studios including Walt Disney. As a puppeteer his prestigious credits include the films: “A Star Is Born”, “G.I. Blues,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, “Escape to Witch Mountain,” and “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”, as well as work on countless television series and projects. Baker has performed with the likes of Judy Garland, Elvis Presley, and Angela Lansbury. Aside from running the theater, Baker maintains an active role in
The Ladera Ranch News
the company’s traveling shows. Bob has taken his marionettes to countless fairs, puppet festivals, and of course, birthday parties. The Bob Baker Marionettes have entertained audiences in Las Vegas, Toronto, New York, Germany, and have even performed on Navy ships and submarines. Mr. Baker is the former president of the Los Angeles Puppet Guild and Governor of the Television Arts & Sciences Animation Branch and
currently sits on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Bob’s dream of establishing a school began with the formation of the Academy of Puppetry and Allied Arts, a non-profit organization. The Academy’s mission is to educate the public about puppet arts and to encourage and foster puppetry presentations. The Academy of Puppetry provides funding to subsidize tickets for students from local area schools to attend performances at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater and distributes literacy and language development resources that bring the experiences at the Theater back to the classrooms. The Academy of Puppetry provides students and teachers in the Los Angeles area the opportunity to attend puppetry presentations and learn about the integration of puppetry arts with language arts, music, art, sculpture and crafts. The program also fulfills the Academy of Puppetry and Allied Arts’ mission of preserving puppetry arts and creative live entertainment for future generations of children and adults. Bob’s goal of a refurbished theater complex complete with training facilities is still a long way off. However, Bob hopes that, with the aid of civic leaders and corporate sponsors, his Academy will one day be a reality and housed in buildings adjacent to the historic Theater.

Turn Back Your Clock on Sunday as Daylight Savings Time Ends Say Goodbye to Daylight Savings Time Until Next Spring
BySunshine Wilson Don’t forget to turn back your clock on Sunday November 6. Daylight savings time will be over and standard time will begin again until next spring. A federal law created daylight savings time in 1986. The intention of daylight savings time was to create an additional hour of sunlight during the spring and summer months. From its inception in 1986 until 2006, daylight savings time began on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October. The dates were changed in 2007 by another federal law, increasing the time period by about thirty days. Daylight savings time now begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Although the majority of the United States observes daylight savings time, the federal law does not require any state or county to do so. However, if a state or county chooses daylight savings time, they must abide by the dates as stated in the federal law. Hawaii and Arizona, except for the area of the Navajo Nation, are the only states that have opted to stay on standard time all year long. In addition, the United States territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa do not observe daylight savings time. So, set your alarm so that you don’t forget to turn back your clock on Sunday November 6 at 2:00 am, the official time that daylight savings time ends. Alternatively, you can turn back your clock before you retire on Saturday night or after you wake up on Sunday morning. Page 16

PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S “BEETHOVEN’S TRIPLE CONCERTO,” FEATURING EROICA TRIO; AND WOMEN OF PACIFIC CHORALE TACKLE DEBUSSY’S “NOCTURNES” Led by Jean-Marie Zeitouni, concert also includes Benjamin Britten’s “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra,” celebrating the composer’s centennial. Commanding center stage for Pacific Symphony’s upcoming concert is one of the most daring innovations in concerto form—“Beethoven’s Triple Concerto”—performed by one of the most successful all-women chamber ensembles in the world, the Eroica Trio. Receiving multiple Grammy nominations for their eight CDs and winning the prestigious Naumburg Award, the Eroica Trio “plays with technical flair, raw driven energy and high spirits,” said The Wall Street Journal. “There is an edge of the seat intensity to every note they produce,” wrote The New York Times. The orchestra is led by one of Canada’s brightest young conductors, Jean-Marie Zeitouni, recipient of the Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year, who opens the evening with Beethoven’s Overture to “The Creatures of Prometheus.” The Symphony is then joined by the women of Pacific Chorale to perform Debussy’s “Nocturnes,” three movements inspired by impressionist paintings, and the evening concludes with Britten’s famous “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra,” in honor of the composer’s 100th anniversary. “Beethoven’s Triple Concerto” takes place Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 14-16, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. A preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25-$109; for more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “The Beethoven Triple Concerto is so exciting to perform and to hear because of the singular nature of the piece. Instead of the norm, which is one soloist, you have three, which really gives you three times the bang for your buck!” says the Eroica Trio’s cellist, Sara Sant’Ambrogio. “It is incredibly exciting watching three soloists toss these amazing melodies and virtuosic fireworks back and forth to each other and the orchestra while the conductor holds it all together and shapes that lush wave of orchestral sound that Beethoven is so famous for,” she continues. “We have performed this piece more than any other trio, but I still find myself discovering new magical moments in every performance.” Sparkling with ingenuity, “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” puts Page 18
the spotlight on individual sections of the orchestra, requiring solo work from each. Benjamin Britten, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, masterfully wove together every corner of the orchestra to create an evocative composition that enhances the listener’s appreciation for the instruments and musicians. Debussy’s “Nocturnes” are memorable for their glistening, translucent sound. Debussy encouraged audiences to understand “Nocturnes” in a decorative sense, and created the three movements to expound on the theme of the special effects of light as seen in paintings by the great English artist J.M.W. Turner. The opening piece, Overture to “The Creatures of Prometheus,” is an illustration of the contradiction between the light, airy elegance of ballet with a philosophical sense of impending drama. Beethoven begins the work with emphatic chords that jolt in the opening bars, alerting the audience to expect something extraordinary. The Eroica Trio’s innovative
The Ladera Ranch News
programs and performances have cultivated a reputation for passion and excitement. Pianist Erika Nickrenz received the Rockefeller Award and has been featured in the PBS series “Live from Lincoln Center.” Cellist Sara Sant’Ambrogio received a medal at the International Tchaikovsky Violoncello Competition. Parkins joined founding members Nickrenz and Sant’Ambrogio in 2006, proving to be a mighty force in her own right. The Trio, formed in 1986 at the Juilliard School of Music, took its name from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, “Eroica” and has performed more concerts of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto than any other trio. “We are very much looking forward to performing one of our favorite pieces with Pacific Symphony!” continues Sant’Ambrogio. “Pacific Symphony is not only one of the best orchestra in California, but it is one of the best regional orchestras in the country. We look forward to discovering anew the passion and genius of Beethoven with Pacific
Symphony.” Zeitouni, music director of the Columbus Symphony and since 2011 artistic director of I Musici de Montréal, has an eloquent and fiery style that has helped him lead more than 200 performances around the world. His long-term association with Les Violons du Roy started as conductorin-residence, then as associate conductor, and until 2012, as principal guest conductor. In the 2013-14 season, he debuts with the Detroit Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and has re-engagements with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Oregon Symphony and the Orchestre Symphonique de Quebec. The Thursday, Nov. 14, concert is sponsored by Symphony 100. Pacific Symphony’s Classical series performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from American Airlines, The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC and PBS SoCal.
