VILLAGE 4TH

mate Lehmann Hall was the venue for Chamber Night featuring the music of Mozart, Brahms, and Michael Tilson Thomas , music director of the San Francisco Symphony.

The latter’s “Street Song for Brass Quintet” featured trumpeters Davan Sagara and Paul Armitage, Alessandra Marie Liebmann on horn, Alex Ertl on tenor trombone, and Chandler Currier on tuba, while Mozart’s “Per questa bella mano” showcased the talents of bass baritone Peter Barber with pianist Julian Garvue, and Lon Fon Law on double bass.

The concert wrapped with Brahms’ “String Quartet No. 2 in G major” with violinists Jason Moon and Brian Zhan, violists Daniel Miles and Nicolas Valencia, and cellist Joseph Mostwin.

It was back to Hahn Hall the next night for the X2 series featuring works by Joan Tower, Debussy, and Crespo, culminating magnificently with Brahms’ “Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor” with former Camerata Pacifica violist Richard O’Neill, cellist Patrick Baek, violinist Alena Hove, and Jeremy Denk on piano.

O’Neill, now a member of the Takács Quartet, described the piece as “a real barn burner.” And it lived up to every expectation.

The week wrapped at the Granada with the Academy Festival Orchestra under Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä leading the accomplished young musicians in Leonard Bernstein’s “Overture to Candide,” the West Coast premiere of Jessie Montgomery ’s “Hymn for Everyone,” and Gustav Holst’s The Planets

When I toiled as a district chief reporter on the Cambridge Evening News in the ‘70s I lived in a charming farmhouse in the village of Great Sampford on the Essex-Suffolk borders, and a short drive from Thaxted where Holst wrote his popular work between 1914 and 1916. His home is now marked by an historic blue plaque.

Vänskä, conductor laureate of the Minnesota Orchestra where he was music director for 19 years, was at the top of his form. He also held the same position with the Seoul Philharmonic from 2020 to this year.

House Possibly Bought

Has former TV talk show host and serial rest estate flipper Ellen DeGeneres and her actress wife Portia de Rossi added another Montecito estate to their burgeoning property portfolio?

A 1919 San Ysidro Road estate, Pompeian Court, on eight acres with ocean and mountain views, has just been snapped up for $22.5 million with the buyers listed as the Pompeian Court Trust and DeGeneres’s longtime manager Harley Neuman, according to the Siteline website.

The historic house is 6,500 square feet with three bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Lawyers’ Fees Continue

Kevin Costner ’s estranged wife Christine Baumgartner has signaled her willingness to leave the $145 million Carpinteria beach house they previously shared, but only if the actor will pay support and fees approved by a judge at an upcoming hearing.

The 49-year-old handbag designer, according to court filings, will leave the Padaro Lane property on August 31 as long as the Oscar winner, 68, complies with a ruling from the court next week (12), the date of the next hearing in their divorce proceedings.

Such an arrangement would give her 50 days to find a new place to live and move in, whereas the prenuptial agreement stated she would leave the original home within 30 days of a divorce filing.

Stay tuned…

Entitled Estate Earnings

Prince William, older brother of the Duke of Sussex, received a private income from the Duchy of Cornwall as the new Prince of Wales of nearly $7,573,000, but could get more than $25 million next year.

The heir to the British throne inherited the duchy-landed estate – 135,000 acres over 20 counties in the southwest of England and central London – after his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in September and his father Charles acceded to the throne.

William, 41, is entitled to its surplus profits every year. The duchy-generated profits of $30,292,000 in 2022-23, are up $1.4 million from more than $28 million the year before, a jump of about 4.5 percent, the estate’s latest accounts showed.

Interview Pick Up

It didn’t take long for London’s Daily Mail , my former employer, to pick up my exclusive interview with Santa Barbara singer Katy Perry ’s mother,

Mary Hudson , about her recent stay at historic Windsor Castle as a guest of King Charles III when her daughter sang at His Majesty’s coronation concert with fellow American Idol judge Lionel Richie

An old friend, Caroline Graham, L.A. correspondent for the newspaper, one of the world’s biggest, saw the lead story and called asking if she might use it in her illustrious organ with due credit to the Montecito Journal

Needless to say, I was most flattered and said: “Do go ahead.”

But, as usual, you read it here first...

Remembering Julian Sands

On a personal note, I remember the British actor Julian Sands, whose remains were found in the San Gabriel Mountains after he was reported missing by his family in January.

Julian, 65, known for his Oscarnominated films, including 1985’s delightful Room with a View, disappeared during a trek in the Mount Baldy area of the mountain range outside Los Angeles.

I used to see Julian, an avid hiker and mountaineer, often at the New York auction house Christie’s at preview receptions.

A most charming and talented man gone all too soon. But doing what he loved…
