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
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.

PACIFIC COAST WINE FESTIVAL RAISES MORE THAN $240,000 FOR PACIFIC SYMPHONY
The Newport News
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.

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.

THE BEST WAYS TO SUPPORT VETERANS IN 2017
Burning, Tingling, Numbness or Pain? Don’t Suffer Any Longer!
Proven Medical Neuropathy Treatment with an 87% Success Rate Available in Newport Beach Do you suffer from: • Pins and needles in your feet, legs, hands or arms
• Burning pain in your feet, legs, hands or arms
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 employers who have hired veterans with disabilities report it’s been a positive and productive experience. You can support U.S. veterans. You can be a positive voice for veterans and support changes in your communities. Start by speaking up on important veteran issues and write your elected officials in Congress. Volunteer with your local VA hospital or drive veterans to medical appointments. And, if you own a business or are a hiring manager, be sure your organization considers veterans’ unique talents and strengths. America made a promise to care for its veterans, those men and women who sacrificed for everyone’s freedoms. Now the nation’s leaders must live up to that promise.

ADD LIGHT WITH DO IT YOURSELF DECOR
When your home decor needs an upgrade, but expensive, readymade items aren’t in your budget, DIY projects can be an easy and affordable solution for revitalizing rooms in your home. One simple way to enhance the character of a room is with lighted elements. Add a glistening, on-trend look with a lighted canvas, which features twinkling lights that dance on shimmering glitter to lend a glam look to any room. The project, designed by crafting experts at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, can be adapted to any palette; just change out the color of the glitter to match the hues in your favorite room. For a charming, subtle accent, this frosted jar and doily not only adds quaint flair – the jar also provides a soft glow of light. It’s perfect nestled on a shelf or sitting atop a dresser with similarly styled items. Find more creative ideas to bring a touch of light to your home decor at joann.com. Glitter and Lights Canvas Crafting time: 3-5 hours Skill level: Intermediate Supplies and Tools: Foam brush
18-by-24-inch canvas Decoupage medium Ultra-fine to coarse gold glitter Craft knife 3 packages battery-operated warm white LED moon lights Duct tape Protected work surface Use foam brush to cover entire canvas with layer of decoupage medium. Working 12 inches from canvas, dust canvas with glitter. Apply glitter so bottom is fully covered, fading into less glitter at top to create an ombre effect. Apply additional layers of glitter to achieve a thick consistency at bottom. Mix types of glitters to create dimension. Apply thin layer of decoupage medium over entire canvas to seal glitter. Tip: Ensure base layer is completely dry before applying top coat to avoid smearing glitter. Poke small hole in back of canvas with craft knife. Push tip of moon light through hole and secure in place with duct tape. Repeat, adding holes and lights over entire canvas. Continue ombre effect by placing more lights at bottom of canvas and less toward top. Apply layers of duct tape to hold lights securely in place on canvas.
Frosted Ball Jar with Doily Crafting time: 1-2 hours Skill level: Intermediate Supplies and Tools: Ball jar (1-quart) Frosted glass spray Doily (8- to 10-inch diameter) Spray adhesive Hemp twine 1/8-inch ribbon
Battery-powered tea light Follow manufacturer’s directions and spray Ball jar completely with frosted glass spray. Allow to dry completely. Spray working side of doily with adhesive. Press doily to jar, smoothing out any wrinkles. Allow to dry thoroughly. Use twine and ribbon to embellish top. Place batterypowered tea light inside.
TIPS TO MAKE GOODBYES BETTER FOR BOTH PARENT AND CHILD
As a parent, you’ve probably experienced the clinging, clutching and crying that often accompany a goodbye when your child returns to day care or preschool after a long holiday break. Separation can be difficult for both children and their parents. Remember, separation anxiety is perfectly normal and can start at any time during the first three years. The challenge of separation can vary greatly depending on your child’s age, developmental stage, temperament and environment. But there is relief. Child development experts agree families can learn how to ease separation anxiety and manage transitions by developing a predictable routine between the parent and/or caregiver and child - a consistent way to say goodbye. Saying goodbye helps your child You may be tempted to sneak out and avoid a scene, but that only tends to make your child more anxious. Creating a consistent and predictable routine will help ease separations that are painful for both of you. The repetition of a goodbye routine will help your child develop a sense of security and facilitate a smoother transition from your presence to your absence and back again. “Neuroscience has shown that the consistency and predictability will Page 14
help your child learn to anticipate your return,” says Dr. Victoria Simms, child development specialist and president of the Simms/Mann Institute. “It’s very important for young children to have experiences that promote security. Consistent routines leave a positive imprint on the brain that will help set the stage for easier transitions during times of separation.” Tips for easing separation anxiety 1. Bring a familiar object from home. Children often find comfort in familiar objects such as a cuddly lovie, toy or blanket. These special items are called transitional objects. By introducing a transitional object early on your child will begin associating it with you and what you represent to them: warmth, comfort, security and most of all, love. 2. Create your own consistent goodbye routines and rituals. Creating a consistent and predictable goodbye routine is key to making transitions easier. Designate a special place in your house where you can focus on each other for a few minutes before saying goodbye. Don’t forget to confidently give your child a hug and a kiss and be on your way. 3. Comfort yourself. When you’re comfortable and calm, your child will feel less anxious and more confident. Remember, thoughtful distress can help you and your child grow and
The Newport News
spending the time to say goodbye will enable your child to manage the separation and help your child reconnect with you in a more positive way when you return. To further help parents and caregivers understand the importance of creating consistent and predictable routines, the Simms/ Mann Institute recently launched the CuddleBright(TM) Experience, a product that incorporates all the elements needed to get your goodbye routine off to a strong start. By integrating the latest neuroscience research and years of child development theories, the CuddleBright(TM) Experience aims to connect and comfort both
parents and children during times of separation. The product is specially designed for children ages 0-5 and their parents. It includes a cuddly lovie, a beautifully illustrated board book, “A Cuddle Before I Go,” and a special keepsake heart that will serve as a transitional object for the parent. These items work together to create a loving goodbye routine for both parent and child. In addition, the CuddleBright(TM) Experience includes a parenting guide focused on 18 child development topics that provide tips and strategies for navigating parenthood.

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.
A TOTAL BODY APPROACH TO A NEW YOU, DO MORE THIS YEAR
New Year’s resolutions typically focus on reactive goals like losing weight or getting back into that workout routine. However, thinking about resolutions in a more proactive, long-term way can give you more motivation and the willpower to stick with it. A commitment to proactive total body care, including these tips from Massage Envy, can keep your body and mind tuned up, allowing you to do more of what you love in 2017 and beyond. Feel confident by upping your skincare Skin is an organ – the body’s largest organ, in fact. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to it. Regular skincare can help you feel good on the outside by reversing signs of aging, improving skin tone and texture, moisturizing skin and reducing blemishes and breakouts, and better on the inside, as feeling good about how your skin looks can boost your confidence. A daily hydrating moisturizer with SPF does double duty to protect and hydrate. Regular facials that cater to your skin’s unique needs can also help minimize wrinkles, cleanse pores, encourage skin cell renewal and improve overall tone and texture. Live happier and stress free The Statistic Brain Research Institute reports that 77 percent of people regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress. Spending time with friends, meditating and practicing mindfulness can help, but there are also physical ways to soothe stress. A quick walk can do wonders for clearing your head, and a single massage session can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, relax your muscles and increase the production of endorphins, your body’s natural “feel good” Page 16

chemical. Stress relief is one of the benefits of regular massage therapy, and a key component for anyone trying to achieve a lifestyle that gives them the freedom to do more of what they love. Veg out on the good stuff A healthy diet can help you maintain a healthy weight, feel good and boost your body’s immunity so you can stay well. Occasionally, indulging your sweet tooth or salty cravings is OK, but to really take care of your body, leading health-focused agencies recommend piling your plate high with colorful fruits and veggies, lean meats like chicken and fish, and whole grains.
If you started off with a commitment to eating better in the New Year, push hard to stick to it. Before long, you’ll find yourself automatically making smarter choices when it comes to mealtime, and when you put good fuel in your body, you get better results. Including total body care in your resolutions this year and beyond can create positive changes that last a lifetime.
