Photo: Lynn Goldsmith Welcome to the last playbill of the Mondavi Center’s eighth season. Thank you for taking the journey with us this season—I hope you enjoy this last group of very special events. In each new season, I like to encourage patrons to take a chance on something new, something unusual, something unfamiliar to them. To that end, I have developed my special Letterman-style “top 10” list of great events in our upcoming 10–11 season that may not yet be on your radar! Of course, you will want to come to the many events whose artists and speakers already are familiar to you and who fill the cultural landscape with beauty and wisdom. But do not pass up an opportunity to attend the following (you will note they are in chronological, not preferential order): 1. 2. 3. 4. A MEssAGE fROM Don roth, Ph.D. ExECuTIVE DIRECTOR MONDAVI CENTER Jonah Lehrer – October 27, 2010 This 20-something neuroscientist lives at the intersection of science and the arts. In his book Proust Was a Neuroscientist, he demonstrates how artists have anticipated scientific thinking in their work. A brilliant writer and dynamic speaker. Robert McDuffie and the Venice Baroque Orchestra “Seasons Project” – November 3, 2010 If you were lucky enough to hear McDuffie perform Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade when he appeared here in the 08–09 season with the Jerusalem Symphony, you know why he’s on the top 10 list. He’s as beautiful and sensitive a violinist as any performing today. And what a project—everybody’s favorite Vivaldi, paired with Philip Glass’s beautiful new take on the seasons, a piece written for McDuffie. Buika – November 6, 2010 You might not have heard of her (yet) but, like the Portuguese fado singer Mariza, this will be an evening not to miss. Buika comes out of the Flamenco tradition, and once you have heard her voice, its beauty and power will haunt you. Mark O’Connor and Julian Lage Trio – January 20, 2011 In a season stocked with great violinists, no one merges classical, jazz, and folk technique like Mark O’Connor. He took the lead in putting together this trio with rising star guitarist Julian Lage. We heard them at the Blue Note in New York and immediately urged them to tour. Like Frisell and Scofield, this is a genre-bending evening, exploring where the music takes them.
