Spring Break - Traveling Safely

Student safety is a priority for the Department of State. Regardless of the destination, we encourage students to stay safe this Spring Break and read our tips for traveling abroad on travel.state.gov.

The Bureau of Consular Affairs plans to host a Google+ Hangout on Thursday, March 12, at 1:00 pm, to discuss Travel Safety for

Solo Travelers and Volun-tourists, and answer questions about Spring Break travel. More information about the Hangout will be available @ TravelGov. Students can learn about Spring Break destinations at our website dedicated to student travelers:studentsabroad.state. gov, which has information on

entry requirements, crime, health precautions, and road conditions.

Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This program keeps students up-to-date with important safety and security announcements, such as Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and security messages.

Of course, even well-prepared

travelers may face an emergency, like a lost passport or an injury. In those cases, our embassies and consulates are available to help 24/7. We encourage all U.S. citizen travelers to write down the contact information for the U.S. embassy or consulate in the destination country.

Back for the fifth year, the popular Angels Express is just weeks away from its first day of operation on April 2, 2015. Last year’s ridership broke records for the special Metrolink service that provides convenient service to and from all Angels weeknight home games starting at 7:05 p.m.

To make this year just as successful, OCTA is reaching out before the

season starts to fans who enjoy riding the train to the stadium. Through emails and social media, OCTA is encouraging riders to share photos from their past Angels Express trips for an opportunity to win prizes. The effort will build a sense of community among current riders, and also establish a collection of photos and stories that can be used to promote the service throughout the season.

To celebrate the Angels Express, OCTA will hold a kick-off rally on April 10 at Irvine Station. The first 100 adults will receive authentic Angels Express gear, and one lucky fan will win an exclusive Angels Grand Prize, including four game tickets. There will be food, games and fun for everyone before boarding the 5:59 p.m. Angels Express.

Gluten-free meals with ‘wow’ factor, from breakfast to dinner As awareness of gluten-free diets continues to grow, more people are searching for ways to make their menus delicious, creative and varied while still staying gluten-free. In the past, forgoing gluten was challenging at best and frustrating at worst, due to a lack of available ingredients and products. But that was then. Now, whether it’s gluten intolerance or a goal of healthier eating that drives your meal plans, you can indulge and enjoy great meals from breakfast to dinner (and everything in between).

The expanding availability of gluten-free substitutes for favorites like tortillas, breads and pastas means that you don’t need to give up the dishes you love. For truly healthy options, it’s important to look for gluten-free products with shorter ingredient lists filled with familiar items.

Get your gluten-free menu started with these tips for meals throughout the day. Packed with flavor, nutrition and great ingredients, they’ll keep the whole family happy.

Breakfast * Breakfast burrito bar - Get the day off to a spicy start with delicious breakfast burritos. Make it an interactive morning event on the

weekend with a burrito bar. Set out an array of gluten-free ingredients, like scrambled eggs, beans, vegetables and cheese, for your family to mix and match. Fold it all up in black rice tortillas made by Food For Life, which are highly nutritious - black rice boasts antioxidant levels on par with “superfruits” like acai and blackberries. * Dressed-up English muffins - Crispy outside, fluffy inside and topped with delicious, nutritious goodies - what could be a better way to start the day? Try topping yours with mashed avocado that’s been whisked with crushed chili, a splash of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Or, if you like something sweeter, try glutenfree almond butter with raspberries, blackberries or a dash of cinnamon sugar. Gluten-free English muffins are available from Food For Life.

Lunch * Standout sandwiches - Go beyond the basics for your midday meal. Using gluten-free bread, you can create gourmet sandwiches that would cost far more in a restaurant.

Rethink tuna salad by using Dijon mustard instead of mayo, and adding capers, diced sundried tomatoes and preserved lemon. Or, go for a

veggie extravaganza with Portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, crunchy sprouts and hummus. * Seasoned quesadillas - Add a little something extra to your classic quesadilla, that well-loved snack of melted cheese between two glutenfree tortillas. Try adding a variety of cheeses and boosting the flavor with herbs and spice mixes.

Dinner * A new take on pizza - Everyone loves pizza for dinner, especially when they can make it their own.

Using gluten-free tortillas, the whole family can create personalized minipizzas with thin, crunchy crusts.

Simply assemble the toppings of choice and either grill or toast in the oven. For busy nights, it’s a meal that’s quick, easy and guaranteed to

please. * Enchiladas -This classic Mexican dish is great for crowds, so if you’re welcoming friends, add it to your menu. Black rice tortillas will add eyecatching color and lots of nutrition, without bringing gluten to the table.

Fill the enchiladas with the meat of your choice (such as shredded chicken or beef) as well as rice, beans and grilled onions and peppers.

Top with a spiced sauce of roasted tomatoes, as well as Mexican cheese like cotija or chihuahua, and bake.

Today, gluten-free diets can be every bit as delicious and rich with nutrition - and maybe more so - than other diets. Celebrate the possibilities and find creativeness in your glutenfree kitchen. For more ideas, go to www.foodforlife.com.

Smart ideas to get your car running, and looking, its best before your next road trip

Are you a self-proclaimed road warrior who loves when other drivers do a double take to admire your wellcared-for car? Do you like to make others envious of your engine’s soft purr, your car’s immaculate finish, manicured curves and polished accents? Even if you’re not a car connoisseur, summer travel is upon us and now’s the time to get your vehicle road trip ready - inside and out.

Tune in to tune up Before you hit the gas, it’s important to make sure your car is running properly so you don’t end up stranded on the side of the road. First, check the fluids - oil, coolant, brake and windshield washer. If it’s almost time to get the oil changed, get ahead of the game and do it before you leave. A long road trip can put additional stress on your motor, but clean oil can keep things working properly.

Another way to keep everything running smoothly is to maintain the health of your tires. This not only creates a much safer driver experience, allowing you to handle the car better, but also saves money on fuel. Review your vehicle owner’s manual for the correct air pressure for your specific tires.

The condition of the exterior tire

surface should be cared for as well.

Driving on bald tires can be extremely dangerous and can cause you to lose control in slick conditions. Tires also tend to heat up on long trips and thin tire walls can result in unnecessary blow-outs. To make sure you have proper tire tread, insert a penny in between several different tread grooves across the tire with the bottom of Lincoln’s head facing down.

If the tire tread doesn’t touch honest Abe’s head, it’s time to invest in a new set of tires.

Lastly, check to be certain all lights and signals are functioning properly.

Sit in the car and turn each light or signal on and off while a friend observes. This will ensure you can properly communicate with other drivers on the road, especially during night time travel.

Primped and polished Now that the inner workings of your ride have been tended to, it’s time to give the outside a makeover.

First, give your car a quick wash and then some personality. A fast and affordable way to enhance the look of your ride is with Custom Wrap Removable Coating from Dupli-Color.

Change the color completely or simply add a racing stripe or modify your wheels in a few steps.

Whether you’re cruising in a car, truck or motorcycle, the spray on, peel-off formula provides a smooth finish that lasts months, perfect for an extended getaway. Plus, it can be removed in a matter of minutes without the need for tools or solvents.

Custom Wrap comes in six matte finishes - Carbon Black, Graphite Metallic, Performance Red, Arctic White, Patriot Blue and Jet Grey and even shields against surface scratches from dust and dirt, while protecting from rain, snow and UV exposure. If you happen to notice any pre-travel nicks and chips on the finish, use an exact-match touch-up paint tool, like Scratch Fix All-in-1, to quickly and affordably conceal, cover, seal and protect.

Get your gear in gear Now that your car is prepared for the road trip ahead, it’s important for you to make sure you’re equipped with everything you need to make your getaway a success. These days, many cars come equipped with GPS but you never know when that might malfunction or a signal is lost.

Therefore, it’s always a good idea to have a paper map handy in case you need to take a detour or would like to break your planned route and go exploring.

To avoid frequent stops, take tasty, filling snacks like pretzels, granola bars, trail mix or beef jerky. Bottles of water will keep you hydrated, but don’t overdo it otherwise you’ll be making several pit stops along the way. And don’t forget to make sure your glove compartment and trunk are both stocked with emergency essentials like a flashlight, jumper cables, roadside flares, blankets and a first aid kit. And, of course, no road trip is complete without a fun playlist to act as the soundtrack for your journey.

Once you’ve followed these necessary steps to make sure your car is functioning properly and looking great, consider that your green light to go. The open road awaits you.

Women’s style: Expert advice for dressing and feeling more confident A variety of factors play into a confident appearance, but many women are unaware of simple ways they can come across as more poised and self-assured every day.

Bobbie Thomas, national style expert and author of The Power of Style: Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Dressed Tomorrow, shares her advice on quick and easy ways to look and feel more confident.

Get in touch with your personal style: Pull the inside out. This is the key to self-expression and the definition of true style. To do this, women should ask themselves, “What do I want to say? Attract?

And what is the most important thing I want others to know about me?”

Then, take an honest look in the mirror and make sure their reflections match that message. Lastly, women need to invest in themselves - learn their best colors, most flattering cuts for their body types, and then take the time to edit their closets according to their goals.

Consider your body language: Women’s confidence comes from within, but it is just as important to be conscious of messages communicated nonverbally, as they are important to other people’s perceptions. A woman’s body

language speaks louder than words and says a lot about her comfort and core confidence. What can make a huge difference? Focusing on posture and standing tall, making eye contact when speaking to people and even smiling can communicate confidence. Stretching every morning or practicing yoga are also great ways for women to learn how to balance and improve the way they carry themselves. Plus, not only does good posture help with exuding strong self-confidence, it can also

contribute to overall health and even make your clothes look their best.

Pay attention to the details: Most women have mastered their everyday beauty routines, but often neglect caring for their underarm skin. Underarms require the same attention as the rest of the body and can make a major difference in the way women feel when wearing sleeveless attire. Women give their underarms the care they need in these simple steps. First, exfoliate the area with a gentle exfoliating wipe

to draw out impurities in the skin.

Second, use warm water to rinse the area clean and pat dry with a soft towel. Finally, I recommend using a lotion to moisturize the skin As simple as it may seem, underarm care can have a significant impact on a woman’s style choices.

With one less thing to worry about, she is more likely to feel strong, powerful and self-assured in her own skin, which will cascade throughout all aspects of her life.

Pacific Coast Wine Festival Raises Funds for Pacific Symphony Photos by: Nick Koon Photography Reveling in fine wines, delish dining and philanthropic spirit, guests of this year’s Pacific Coast Wine Festival (PCWF), which took place at the five-diamond Island Hotel, raised their glasses, paddles—and more than $200,000 for Pacific Symphony’s artistic and education programs!

Attracting a sold-out crowd of more than 300 guests, the festival offered an evening of elegance and fun as gentlemen came groomed, sporting dapper suits, and ladies dolled up in glamourous cocktail dresses. Sparkling wine glasses chimed as sommeliers poured reds and whites from vineyards around the world and guests bustled about enjoying the tastings and considering more than 100 silent auction items.

A scrumptious wine-paired feast was served in the ballroom, and guests delighted in an inspiring performance of “The Final Countdown” by members of Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra. The dynamic live auction concluded the evening and provided rare wines, dining experiences and wine vacations to claim. Gourmet chocolate and port were served on the way out, and guests left full, happy and if they were lucky, with bottles of delectable wines and prizes to take home.

Bursting onto the Orange County scene eight years ago, PCWF has established a reputation as one of the most esteemed wine festivals in the region, in addition to providing significant funds for the Symphony. Co-chaired by event founders Mike Kerr, Fred Salter and Valerie Van de Zilver, the 2015 PCWF was generously sponsored by Land Rover-Aston Martin-Jaguar of Newport Beach, Regency Air, Commerce West Bank and BNY Mellon.

Once the clock struck 5 p.m., the three auction lots opened and guests began sniffing, swirling and savoring an exclusive collection of wines from around the world. These included selections from Italy, France, Spain, Australia, Argentina and South Africa. The incomparable California wines ranged from cult and storied artisanal wineries to well-known vintners from Santa Barbara up to Napa.

Guests entered the dining room for a scrumptious wine-paired dinner prepared by the Island Hotel’s Executive Chefs David Man and Marc Johnson; feasting on arugula salad with Marcona almonds, heirloom tomatoes, dried cherries and sherry-orange vinaigrette. The main course was a pan-roasted filet of beef served with custard potatoes, port wine sauce, leeks and truffles. Coffee and tea were served with a chocolate and salted caramel bombe with berry coulis for dessert.

Charismatic auctioneer Jim Nye brought the crowd’s attention to the anticipated live auction, always thrilling and filled with one-of-a-kind items.

The hottest ticket was a trip for four to meet Italy’s most-famous winemaking family, Antinori, who generously donated a private tour and wine-tasting at their vineyard in Bargino. This special trip went to Maggie and John Hinson for $22,000. Clarence Turner won a trip for three couples to the Oregon Wine Country to tour some of the best vineyards in the northwest, for $4,500. A private jet trip to Napa, where three couples would enjoy a two-night stay at the Meritage Hotel, along with private tours through The Pine Ridge, Alpha Omega Winery and Herb Lamb Vineyards went to Judy and Jin Chang for $18,000.

Among the elite wines won was a 100 Point Cabernet Sauvignon from Hundred Acre, taken home by Michelle and David Horowitz for $6,200. A case of 1989 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, donated by film composer James Newton Howard, went to Donald Hu for $5,500.

Two bottles of Domaine Leroy were won by Brian Pollack for $4,500 PCWF supporters not only enjoyed an extravagant evening of wine, but also invested in the cultural value of the community by benefiting Pacific Symphony. 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.

Creating a pollinator-friendly habitat in your backyard Pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, bats and beetles play an important role in producing healthy plants and food for people and wildlife. Without pollinators feeding on nectar and moving pollen from one flower to the next, most plants would not produce fruit or seeds.

You can attract pollinators to your lawn and garden by following these

steps to create a pollinator-friendly backyard habitat. * Grow a diverse assortment of trees, shrubs and flowers. Place water sources throughout your lawn and garden to draw a variety of pollinators to your yard, while providing them with food and sheltered nesting areas. * Add color to your backyard. Each

pollinator is drawn to specific plants based on its size, shape, color and scent. Bees are attracted to yellow and blue flowers, as well as fruit and nut trees with strong fragrances.

Hummingbirds prefer large red or orange tubular flowers with no odor. * Select flowering plants that bloom at different times to provide nectar sources throughout the growing

season. Place plants in clumps to supply large areas of color and coverage that attracts pollinators. * Choose plants native to your area to encourage healthy pollination activity. In the South, flowers from mint, oregano, lavender and other herbs attract bees, while pink azaleas and coral honeysuckle vines entice hummingbirds into your yard. In the Northwest, birds are drawn to flowering grape holly shrub and blue columbine flowers will draw butterflies into your outdoor space.

Pay attention to how you apply lawn and garden products. “When using insecticides, carefully read and follow label directions to protect pollinators,” says Aaron Hobbs, president of RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment) a national organization representing the manufacturers, formulators and distributors of pesticide and fertilizer products.

Pollinators are as essential as sunlight and water in the production of flowering plants, many of which are important food sources. Support your backyard ecosystem while attracting pollinator populations and surrounding your home with colorful arrays of native plants.

E

ach decade has its own distinct foods, including desserts.

Yet some of these decadent treats — such as southern Lemon Chess Pie from the 1820s, Strawberry Shortcake from the 1850s, or New York’s Black and White Cookies, first baked up in the Roaring 1920s — have stood the test of time.

To celebrate these nostalgic sweets, CanolaInfo’s “Decades of Decadence” recipe collection serves up a delicious trip down memory lane with modern influence by Ellie Krieger, M.S., R.D., host of the Cooking Channel’s “Healthy Appetite.”

“History shaped these desserts and they have stuck around because they are inherently delicious,” she says. “They were driven by the availability of ingredients in their day, advertising by food companies in women’s magazines and advancements in food technology or appliances.”

To boost nutrition and keep saturated fat in check, the recipes are updated with heart-healthy ingredients, such as low-fat yogurt, whole-grain flour and canola oil, which has the least saturated fat and most omega-3 fat of all common culinary oils.

Try this fresh, healthy update on 1930s Pineapple Upside Down Cake, originally invented to take advantage of canned pineapple, which is kept moist and gooey with canola oil. Take a journey back to the ’40s with Chocolate War Cake, a chocolaty indulgence that’s a cinch to make. Or dig into Frozen Grasshopper Pie, a ’50s favorite once home freezers became common, which offers less saturated fat by using canola oil in the crust and reduced-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt in the filling.

For the complete “Decades of Decadence” collection and more recipes from Krieger, visit www.CanolaInfo.org.

1930s

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Yield: 8 servings Serving size: 1 slice Canola oil cooking spray 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 4 to 5 pineapple rings (about 1/4 of whole pineapple) about 1/2 inch thick 2 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup low-fat buttermilk 1/2 cup canola oil 2 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously spray bottom of 9-inch, nonstick layer cake pan with canola oil cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, then arrange pineapple rings on top in one

layer. Sprinkle chopped ginger pieces in spaces around pineapple rings and in their centers.

In medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. In another medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, canola oil, eggs and vanilla.

Mix wet and dry ingredients until combined. Pour batter over pineapple-brown sugar mixture and bake until top is lightly browned and wooden skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then run knife around cake edges and, using oven mitts, invert cake onto large serving plate.

Note: Whole-wheat, all-purpose flour can be substituted for whole-wheat pastry flour.

1940s

Chocolate War Cake Yield: 12 slices Serving size: 1 slice 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup natural cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup cold water 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1/3 cup canola oil 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon confectioners’ sugar Preheat oven to 350°F. In 9-inch round baking pan, whisk together whole-wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In small bowl or measuring cup, combine water and vinegar.

Make well in center of flour mixture in pan and pour canola oil and vanilla extract into well. Pour water-vinegar mixture over top of flour and then stir well to blend all ingredients.

Bake until set and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Place cake on rack to cool in pan. Once cool, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.

Note: Whole-wheat, all-purpose flour can be substituted for whole-wheat pastry flour.

1950s

Frozen Grasshopper Pie Yield: 8 servings Serving size: 1 slice Canola oil cooking spray 1 1/4 cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies or chocolate graham cracker crumbs 3 tablespoons canola oil 4 cups mint chip reduced-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt, softened 1/3 cup chocolate shavings Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch pie dish with canola oil cooking spray.

In medium bowl, mix cookie crumbs and canola oil until combined, then press mixture into prepared pie dish.

Bake until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes.

Allow to cool completely.

In large bowl, place softened ice cream and mix well until uniform texture forms, similar to soft-serve ice

cream. Fill cooled pie crust with ice cream, smoothing out top. Garnish with chocolate shavings, cover with plastic wrap and put back in freezer until solidly frozen, at least 4 hours.

When ready to serve, heat knife under hot water and use it to cut pie into slices.

Note: An ice cream or frozen yogurt without green food coloring is recommended. To make chocolate shavings, use a vegetable peeler to peel strips from a thick block of chocolate. If the chocolate crumbles as you make the shavings, put it in the microwave at 10-second intervals to soften it slightly.

by Hilton Hotel Anaheim - Orange County, 100 The City Drive, Orange, CA 92868, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 24, 1999 as Instrument No. 19990133633 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Orange County, California, executed by WILLIAM A. LOCKHART AND GRACE M. LOCKHART, HUSBAND AND WIFE, as Trustor(s), in favor of WASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, FA as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 204 VIA QUITO, NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92663 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $336,579.42 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the

payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08005938-14. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Baroque Music Festival to Celebrate 35th Season with ‘Bach Fest’ Five concerts, three venues, one special week in Corona del Mar, Calif., June 21-28 Offering performances that have consistently drawn critical acclaim, the Baroque Music Festival will celebrate its 35th year with five concerts, June 21-28, at venues in and around Corona del Mar. One of Orange County’s most enjoyable summer music events, this year’s Baroque Music Festival will feature an all star line up of Baroque musicians and singers dedicated to the era’s preeminent composer, Johann Sebastian Bach.

World renowned Baroque violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock serves as the festival’s artistic director, bringing her eloquent performing talents as well as her passion for Baroque music.

Known for her insightful commentary during the concerts, she also provides astute program notes that add rich context to the experience.

Now in her fifth year as artistic d i r e c t o r, B l u m e n s t o c k h a s programmed this season’s “Bach Fest” with both familiar and little known works. Most pieces are performed on period instruments or authentic reproductions in three intimate venues, similar to the concert environments of the Baroque era.

Blumenstock, who plays a 17th century Guarneri violin, will be joined by soloists Kathryn Adduci on trumpet, Judith Linsenberg on recorder, Christopher Matthews on flute, Kathryn Montoya on oboe, Ian Pritchard on the organ and harpsichord, and other guest artists.

Vocal soloists and the Festival Orchestra will round out the ensemble.

The festival continues its tradition of inviting concertgoers to arrive early for each performance to enjoy Baroque music performed al fresco by the South Coast Brass, beginning 45 minutes before curtain time.

Another festival custom features a reception after each performance,

where musicians and audience members come together for good conversation and refreshment.

The festival offers a subscription for all five concerts at $275 that provides priority seating at each event and a private post concert dinner following the Festival Finale on Sunday, June 28. Subscriptions and individual tickets ($30 to $45) may be purchased at the festival website, www.bmf-cdm.org, or by calling (949) 760-7887. Subscription tickets will be mailed to subscribers in early May, followed by single tickets in June.

Acclaimed instrumentalists and vocal soloists come together for the annual festival, performing primarily on period instruments in intimate settings for five concerts offered over an eight day period in June.

Concertgoers have described the performances as “rapturous” and “riveting”; music reviewers from the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register and other local publications have consistently given them glowing reviews. The Festival’s all volunteer Board of Directors is committed to bringing high quality Baroque music to Corona del Mar every summer.

AR T IS T I C D IRE C T OR ELIZABETH BLUMENSTOCK

Baroque violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock is widely admired as an artist of compelling verve and eloquence, and her technical sparkle and enthusiasm bring an infectious passion to the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar. Since 1981, she has assumed the roles of soloist, concertmaster and leader with the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. She has also performed throughout the U.S. and abroad, with the Boston and Berkeley Early Music Festivals, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and the Finnish Oulunsalo Soi Festival, among others. Her love of chamber music has involved her in California’s finest periodinstrument ensembles, including Musica Pacifica, Live Oak Baroque and the Galax Quartet. She is a regular concertmaster with American Bach Soloists, the Goettingen Handel Festspielorchester and Il Complesso Barocco orchestra, recording over 100 CDs with these ensembles, and serves as an adjunct faculty member at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Her 1660 Andrea Guarneri violin is on loan from the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra Period Instrument Trust.

TICKETS A five concert Festival subscription is $275, assuring premium priority seating and a private post concert dinner with the musicians in the Fellowship Hall of St. Mark Presbyterian Church after the final performance. As one subscriber remarked, “The concerts alone were well worth the cost, but dining with the artists was priceless!”

Single tickets are $30 for Monday night, $45 each for Wednesday and Friday nights, and $40 each for the Sunday afternoons. Festival subscriptions as well as single tickets may be ordered from the Festival website, www.bmf-cdm.org, or by calling (949) 760-7887.
