Undeniably the

reigning virtuoso

of the

violin, Itzhak Perlman enjoys

superstar status rarely

afforded a classical musician.

Beloved for his charm and humanity

as well as his talent,

he is treasured by audiences

throughout the world who respond

not only to his remarkable artistry, but

also to his irrepressible joy for making music.

Having performed with every major orchestra

and at venerable concert halls around

the globe, Itzhak Perlman was awarded a Presidential

Medal of Freedom, the Nation’s highest

civilian honor, in November 2015 by President

Obama for his meritorious contributions

to cultural endeavors of the United States and

for being a powerful advocate for people of

disabilities. In June 2016, he received the 2016

Genesis Prize in recognition for his exceptional

contributions as a musician, teacher, advocate

for individuals with special needs and

dedication to Jewish values. In 2003, he was

granted a Kennedy Center Honor by the John

F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in

celebration of his distinguished achievements

and contributions to the cultural and educational

life of the United States. President Clinton

awarded him the National Medal of Arts in

2000 and President Reagan honored him with

a Medal of Liberty in 1986.

An early recipient

of an American-Israel

Cultural Foundation

scholarship,

Itzhak Perlman

came to

New York and

soon was propelled

to national

recognition with an

appearance on the

Ed Sullivan Show

in 1958.

Mr. Perlman has performed

multiple times at the White

House, most recently in 2012

at the invitation of President

Barack Obama and Mrs.

Obama, for Israeli President

and Presidential Medal of

Freedom honoree Shimon

Peres; and at a State Dinner

in 2007, hosted by President

George W. Bush and Mrs. Bush, for Her Majesty

The Queen and His Royal Highness The

Duke of Edinburgh. In 2009, he was honored

to take part in the Inauguration of President

Obama, premiering a piece written for the

occasion by John Williams alongside cellist

Yo-Yo Ma, clarinetist Anthony McGill and

pianist Gabriela Montero, for an audience

of nearly 40 million television viewers in the

United States and millions more throughout

the world.

Born in Israel in 1945, Mr. Perlman completed

his initial training at the Academy of

Music in Tel Aviv. An early recipient of an

America-Israel Cultural Foundation scholarship,

he came to New York and soon was

propelled to national recognition with an appearance

on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958.

Following his studies at the Juilliard School

with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay, he

won the prestigious Leventritt Competition

in 1964, which led to a burgeoning worldwide

career. Since then, Itzhak Perlman has


9

established himself as a cultural icon and

household name in classical music.

Mr. Perlman has further delighted audiences

through his frequent appearances on

the conductor’s podium. He has performed

as conductor with the New York Philharmonic,

Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra,

Boston Symphony, National Symphony, San

Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic,

and the symphony orchestras of Dallas,

Houston, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Montreal

and Toronto, as well as at the Ravinia and Tanglewood

festivals. He was Music Advisor of the

St. Louis Symphony from 2002 to 2004 where

he made regular conducting appearances,

and he was Principal Guest Conductor of the

Detroit Symphony from 2001 to 2005. Internationally,

Mr. Perlman has conducted the Berlin

Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra,

London Philharmonic, English Chamber

Orchestra, and the Israel Philharmonic.

The 2018/19 season marks the 60th

anniversary of Itzhak Perlman’s U.S. debut

and appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show,

which took place on November 2, 1958.

This milestone was celebrated with a return

to the Ed Sullivan Theater on November

2, 2018 in a special guest appearance on

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This

season Perlman performs the Mendelssohn

Concerto with Gustavo Dudamel at the

Hollywood Bowl and makes season-opening

gala appearances with the San Francisco

Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas and

with the Indianapolis Symphony and Krzysztof

Urbański. Other orchestral appearances

include the Seattle, Vancouver and Colorado

symphony orchestras. As a conductor, he

leads the Houston Symphony and Juilliard

Orchestra in programs that include works by

Bach, Mozart, Schumann, Dvořák and Elgar.

In February 2019, he makes an appearance

at Carnegie Hall with longtime friend Zubin

Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra,

the orchestra with whom he has had the

closest association since he was a teenager.

Spring 2019 sees him performing duo

concerts for the first time with the celebrated

pianist Evgeny Kissin in Boston, Chicago,

Washington D.C. and New York. Throughout

the season, he makes appearances with

his longtime collaborator, Rohan De Silva, in

recitals across North America. In May 2019, he

debuts a new program entitled “Evening with

Itzhak Perlman” which captures highlights of

his career through narrative and multi-media

elements, intertwined with performance.

Further to his engagements as violinist

and conductor, Mr. Perlman is increasingly

making more appearances as a speaker.

Recent speaking engagements include

appearances in Texas at Lamar University,

South Dakota with the John Vucurevich

Foundation and in Washington D.C. for the

Marriott Foundation. In November 2018, he

joins Alan Alda for a conversation on the stage

of New York’s 92nd Street Y.

A recent award-winning documentary on

Mr. Perlman, titled “Itzhak”, premiered in October

2017 as the opening film of the 25th Annual

Hamptons International Film Festival. It

was released theatrically in over 100 cinemas

nationwide in March 2018, with international

releases that followed in Summer 2018. Directed

by filmmaker Alison Chernick, the enchanting

documentary details the virtuoso’s

own struggles as a polio survivor and Jewish

émigré and is a reminder why art is vital to life.


For more information, visit www.itzhakthefilm.

com. In October 2018, the film will make its

debut on PBS’ American Masters in a broadcast

throughout the United States.

Itzhak Perlman’s recordings have garnered

16 GRAMMY® Awards and regularly

appear on the best-seller charts. In 2008, Mr.

Perlman was honored with a Grammy Lifetime

Achievement Award for excellence in the recording

arts.

Mr. Perlman’s most recent album features

him in a special collaboration with Martha Argerich.

Released in 2016 by Warner Classics,

it marked a historic first studio album for

this legendary duo exploring masterpieces

by Bach, Schumann and Brahms. It had been

18 years since their first album, a live recital

from the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

On that momentous occasion in 1998, in addition

to recording the material for their initial

disc, the pair recorded Schumann’s Violin Sonata

No. 1. The Schumann Sonata at long last

was released in 2016 alongside new material,

making the album a fascinating ‘then and

now’ portrait of how two living legends have

evolved musically.

Mr. Perlman recorded a bonus track for

the original cast recording of the critically acclaimed

Broadway revival of Fiddler on the

Roof, released on Broadway Records in March

2016. The cast recording features Perlman on

a track titled “Excerpts from Fiddler on the

Roof,” arranged by John Williams.

The year of 2015 brought three record

releases in celebration of Mr. Perlman’s 70th

birthday: A new Deutsche Grammophon album

with pianist Emanuel Ax performing

Fauré and Strauss Sonatas, a 25-disc box set

of his complete Deutsche Grammophon and

Decca discography, and a 77-disc box set of

his complete EMI/Teldec discography titled

Itzhak Perlman: The Complete Warner Recordings.

In 2012, Sony released Eternal Echoes:

Songs & Dances for the Soul, featuring a collaboration

with acclaimed cantor Yitzchak

Meir Helfgot in liturgical and traditional Jewish

arrangements for chamber orchestra and

klezmer musicians, and in 2010, Sony released

a recording of Mendelssohn Piano Trios with

cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax. Highlights

of albums over the last two decades

have included a Deutsche Grammophon album

with Mr. Perlman conducting the Israel

Philharmonic, a live recording with Martha

Argerich performing Beethoven and Franck

Sonatas (EMI); Cinema Serenade featuring

popular hits from movies with John Williams

conducting (Sony); A la Carte, a recording of

short violin pieces with orchestra (EMI) and In

the Fiddler’s House, a celebration of klezmer

music (EMI) that formed the basis of the PBS

television special. In 2004, EMI released The

Perlman Edition, a limited-edition 15-CD box

set featuring many of his finest EMI recordings

as well as newly compiled material, and

RCA Red Seal released a CD titled Perlman

rediscovered, which includes material recorded

in 1965 by a young Itzhak Perlman. Other

recordings reveal Mr. Perlman’s devotion to

education, including Concertos from my Childhood

with the Juilliard Orchestra under Lawrence

Foster (EMI) and Marita and her Heart’s

Desire, composed and conducted by Bruce

Adolphe (Telarc).

A major presence in the performing

arts on television, Itzhak Perlman has been

honored with four Emmy Awards, most


11

ecently for the PBS documentary Fiddling for

the Future, a film about Mr. Perlman’s work

as a teacher and conductor for the Perlman

Music Program. In 2004, PBS aired a special

entitled Perlman in Shanghai that chronicled

a historic and unforgettable visit of the

Perlman Music Program to China, featuring

interaction between American and Chinese

students and culminating in a concert at the

Shanghai Grand Theater and a performance

with one thousand young violinists, led by Mr.

Perlman and broadcast throughout China. His

third Emmy Award recognized his dedication

to klezmer music, as profiled in the 1995

PBS television special In the Fiddler's House,

which was filmed in Poland and featured him

performing with four of the world’s finest

klezmer bands.

Mr. Perlman has entertained and

enlightened millions of TV viewers of all ages

on popular shows as diverse as The Late

Show with David Letterman, Sesame Street,

The Frugal Gourmet, The Tonight Show, and

various Grammy Awards telecasts. His PBS

appearances have included A Musical Toast

and Mozart by the Masters, as well as numerous

Live From Lincoln Center broadcasts such as

The Juilliard School: Celebrating 100 Years. In

2008, he joined renowned chef Jacques Pépin

on Artist’s Table to discuss the relationship

between the culinary and musical arts, and

lent his voice as the narrator of Visions of

Israel for PBS’s acclaimed Visions series. Mr.

Perlman hosted the 1994 U.S. broadcast of

the Three Tenors, Encore! live from Dodger

Stadium in Los Angeles. During the 78th Annual

Academy Awards in 2006, he performed a live

medley from the five film scores nominated

in the category of Best Original Score for

a worldwide audience in the hundreds of

millions. One of Mr. Perlman’s proudest

achievements is his collaboration with film

composer John Williams in Steven Spielberg’s

Academy Award-winning film Schindler’s List,

in which he performed the violin solos. He

can also be heard as the violin soloist on the

soundtrack of Zhang Yimou’s film Hero (music

by Tan Dun) and Rob Marshall’s Memoirs of a

Geisha (music by John Williams).

Mr. Perlman has a long association with

the Israel Philharmonic and has participated

in many groundbreaking tours with this

orchestra from his homeland. In 1987, he

joined the IPO for history-making concerts in

Warsaw and Budapest, representing the first

performances by this orchestra and soloist in

Eastern bloc countries. He again made history

as he joined the orchestra for its first visit to

the Soviet Union in 1990, and was cheered

by audiences in Moscow and Leningrad who

thronged to hear his recital and orchestral

performances. This visit was captured on a

PBS documentary entitled Perlman in Russia,

which won an Emmy. In 1994, Mr. Perlman

joined the Israel Philharmonic for their first

visits to China and India.

Over the past two decades, Mr. Perlman

has become actively involved in music

education, using this opportunity to encourage

gifted young string players. Alongside his wife

Toby, his close involvement in the Perlman

Music Program has been a particularly

rewarding experience, and he has taught fulltime

at the Program each summer since its

founding in 1993. Mr. Perlman currently holds

the Dorothy Richard Starling Foundation Chair

at the Juilliard School.

Numerous publications and institutions


have paid tribute to Itzhak Perlman for the

unique place he occupies in the artistic and

humanitarian fabric of our times. Harvard,

Yale, Brandeis, Roosevelt, Yeshiva and Hebrew

universities are among the institutions

that have awarded him honorary degrees.

He was awarded an honorary doctorate

and a centennial medal on the occasion of

Juilliard’s 100th commencement ceremony

in 2005. Itzhak Perlman’s presence on stage,

on camera, and in personal appearances of

all kinds speaks eloquently on behalf of the

disabled, and his devotion to their cause is an

integral part of his life. n

Besides writing a local history column for

the Montecito Journal for over a decade,

Hattie Beresford has written two issues of

Noticias and co-edited My Santa Barbara

Scrap Book, the memoir of artist Elizabeth

Eaton Burton, for the Santa Barbara

Historical Museum. Her most recent book,

The Way It Was ~ Santa Barbara Comes of

Age, is a collection of a few of her nearly

300 articles written for the Journal. Her talk

on the vibrant and exciting early days of

CAMA will be illustrated with dozens of

historic photographs and images.

Celebrating CAMA’s Centennial

commemorates the CAMA story with

hundreds of images and engaging

tales of the spectacular musical

performances brought to the the stages

of Santa Barbara’s concert halls.

Beautiful music, exciting music, profound

music — Community Arts Music Association

has been bringing this gift to Santa Barbara

for 100 years. Born in the dark days following

World War I, flourishing during the Roaring

Twenties, and eluding demise during the Great

Depression, CAMA has endured through a story

of struggle, survival and triumph as compelling

as the world-renowned music and performers

it brought.

HISTORY

The Granada Theatre was constructed in 1922.

At the time, it was considered “Santa Barbara’s only skyscraper.”

The Granada Theatre

Extract from Celebrating CAMA's Centennial by Hattie Beresford

In December 1922, Edward A. Johnson,

president of the California Theater Company

that owned most of the movie houses in town,

announced plans to build a theater and eightstory

office building on State Street. Despite

touches of Spanish design in rose and cream

terra cotta on the façade and cornice, plus

articulated swirling columns framing the tan

brick, many felt the tall rectangular structure

was anathema to Santa Barbara’s emerging

style. Nevertheless, “Santa Barbara’s only

skyscraper” opened its doors with great fanfare

on April 6, 1924, just a few months before the

Lobero Theatre was completed.

The new theater featured an enormous

four-manual 17-rank Wurlitzer organ that

would accompany the action and scenes

in silent movies with appropriate music

and sound effects. (As of 2015 this organ

is installed in the Masonic Auditorium in

Cleveland, Ohio, and has been expanded

to 28 ranks.) For the comfort of patrons,

luxurious retiring rooms were furnished with

overstuffed furniture, a small nursery, and

several smoking compartments. There were

five stories of dressing rooms and the latest

in theater lighting and stage systems. Spanish

features throughout included a 40-foot dome

from which hung an enormous chandelier

shaped like a Moorish disk, hand-wrought light

fixtures, and a curtain painted with a scene of

Granada, Spain. The theater owners boasted

Center for the Performing Arts

that it had nearly 2,000 seats, though the

number was actually a bit less than 1,700.

The appointments and décor of the interior

emulated the Spanish motif. The foyer, which

resembled a baronial entry hall, had a richly

decorated beam ceiling of Mudéjar design.

Above a large fireplace, a saint-like statue

stood in a niche, an intricate wrought-iron

fixture hung from somber walls highlighted

with gold and silver, and a fountain bubbled

with colored water. Richly carpeted grand

stairways and large Spanish mirrors completed

the castillo-like effect.

Johnson chose his opening program

to include the wide variety of acts that

could be shown at the Granada. The

“Great Sarli” (Antonio P. Sarli) conducted

the new Granada Grand Orchestra in a

mixed program of classical, popular, and

syncopated jazz music. One of the first threedimensional

movies, Plastigrams, had the

audience donning blue and red colored

lenses as giant turtles flew toward them from

the screen. Several cartoons and novelty

reels were followed by the world premiere

of Mae Murray (the Girl with the Bee-Kissed

Lips) in Mademoiselle Midnight, and the ballet

company of motion picture star and director

Theodore Kosloff danced “A Legend of Old

Spain,” which he had created especially for the

occasion.

In 1925, the Granada Theatre earned

another nickname when it survived the

June 29 Earthquake, that of “Santa Barbara’s

Gibraltar.” (Although the theater survived

structurally, decorative cast plaster décor

and organ chamber grilles were damaged.)

Johnson didn’t hold on to his theater for very

long, however, selling it to Warner Bros. in

1931 shortly after the opening of the Arlington

Theatre and the beginning of the Depression.

In 1955, the Granada was sold again, this time

to Metropolitan Theatres Corporation for

nearly one million dollars.


21

Over the years, the Community Arts Music

Association vacillated between booking its

seasons at the Granada and the Arlington.

Finances, availability, lighting, acoustics,

comfort, and number of seats were the major

factors in those decisions. When the Granada

closed for remodeling in 1964, they lost 315

seats, making it less attractive to CAMA, though

the organization returned to it in 1967 for nine

seasons when audience attendance had fallen

off severely. In 1976, CAMA and other local

performing arts groups placed their hopes

on an enlarged and renovated Arlington.

Not completely satisfied with the acoustics

of the Arlington, CAMA discovered that the

possibility of returning to the Granada was not

an option once its balcony was converted into

two mini-theaters in 1981.

Although a large civic auditorium was

proposed as a WPA project in the late 1930s,

it was never approved. The effort to create a

true performing arts center in Santa Barbara

with an acoustically superior concert hall

dates back to 1952, when one group worked

out a plan to build such an auditorium on the

hill of Vegamar, the former Beale/Child’s Estate

(today’s Zoo), while another group pushed for

a concert hall on land off Las Positas Road. In

the intervening years, a score of plans to build

a concert hall surfaced, but none came to

fruition. Despite the renovation that created

the Arlington Performing Arts Center, some

remained skeptical as to its suitability. Though

lauding its opening night in 1976, News-Press

writer Kenneth A. Brown opined, “But it is a

mistake to call the Arlington a ‘center for the

performing arts.’ The phrase is grandiose and

misleading. It suggests a versatility that the

building, for all its virtues, simply does not

have.” So the search went on.

In 1997, former mayor and civic promoter

Hal Conklin, president of the Santa Barbara

Renaissance Fund, revealed plans to create a

performing arts cultural center on the 1300

block of State Street. Intended to serve the

various performing arts groups in town,

conceptual designs developed by architects

Roger Phillips, Fred Sweeney, and Henry

Lenny included major interior changes for the

Arlington Theatre, replacement of the Vons

grocery store with a multiplex theater, the

construction of a new smaller theater for more

intimate performances, an inn for visiting

performers, and apartments for live-in artists.

Renovation of the Granada Theatre, too, was

added to the plan. When it became clear

that the Arlington would not be available if

Metropolitan Theatres were not guaranteed

nine replacement screens in compensation

for losing the Arlington as a movie house

(and the seeming impossibility of meeting

this condition in the foreseeable future), the

renovation of the Granada jumped to the

forefront of the overall plan.

In 2003, the Santa Barbara Center for

the Performing Arts, Inc. launched a capital

campaign and announced that they had

obtained an option to purchase the Granada

at a below-market price. They planned

to renovate the theater so that local and

visiting musical groups would have a truly

great venue. The cost, they estimated, would

be about $15-18 million. The response was

initially lukewarm due to doubts about the

effectiveness of such a renovation and rivalry

from another group that still wanted a new

auditorium outside of town.

In the end, two local philanthropists,

Michael Towbes and Sara Miller McCune,

donated $3.5 million to allow the Center

to close escrow on the Granada Theatre.

“The project really struck home to me,”


In 2003, the Santa Barbara Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. announced plans to purchase and

renovate the Granada. Sara Miller McCune (far left) was one of two philanthropists who made the

purchase possible. Nell Campbell photo

said McCune in a February 20, 2003 Los

Angeles Times article, “the community

stands to benefit enormously.” The building’s

ownership was split and a group of investors

purchased the office tower portion and the

Santa Barbara Center for the Performing Arts

purchased the theater. Initial plans were

modest. They included restoring the balcony,

which had been walled off and divided for

two cinemas, reconfiguring the lobby, and

generally renovating the run-down theater.

As time passed, the planners added

elements as they sought to accommodate local

performing arts groups, which they hoped

would make the Granada their venue of choice.

Due to the ever-increasing scope of work, by

July 2003 the estimated cost was $20.5 million;

by October 2004, it was $32 million; by August

2005, it was $40 million as continuing upgrades

over the original plan grew to include widening

the existing 40-foot proscenium to 50 feet, and

adding an acoustical shell and other acoustical

elements.

One of the most celebrated features of the theater

was its four-manual, 17-rank Wurlitzer organ.

Finally, near the end of 2005,

ground was broken and the Granada

went dark. Peter Frisch was executive

director of the project; Phillips Metsch

Sweeney Moore was the architectural firm;

Roger Morgan was the theater consultant; and

David Conant of McKay Conant Hoover, Inc.

was brought on as acoustician. In December,

the News-Press reported that Sara Miller

McCune, founding publisher and chairman of

SAGE Publications, had donated another $2.5

million to the cause. McCune said that she,

like many other art lovers, had been frustrated

by the inadequacy of local performing arts

facilities. “Both our local arts organizations

and touring artists deserve better,” she said. “I

decided this is a commitment I was willing to

make.”

With construction costs escalating,

complications of a required earthquake retrofit,

and specific requests from potential tenants,

who included the Santa Barbara Symphony,

Opera Santa Barbara, State Street Ballet,

Community Arts Music Association (CAMA),

and Music Academy of the West, the price

tag for the project soared as well. In the end,

that tag reported a whopping $60 million,

but Santa Barbara had a spacious, first-rate,

beautifully renovated, technologically updated

new performing arts center. And best of all for

CAMA, the enlarged stage and the intricate

architectural/acoustical system designed by


After 32 years, the Los Angeles

Philharmonic returned to the

Granada stage for what would

be the highlight of the 2008

season and conductor Esa-Pekka

Salonen’s final Santa Barbara

performance.

architect Roger Phillips and acoustician David

Conant would assure that no orchestra would

ever again complain that they were playing into

a pillow!

On March 6, 2008, the Granada threw open

its doors for a Spanish-themed patron’s gala.

Santa Barbara Independent reviewer Charles

Donelan reported that from the red carpet

outside to the grand staircases that flank the

lobby, the space was packed with well-heeled

supporters sipping wine and greeting one

another enthusiastically. The opening night

performances of the Santa Barbara Choral

Society and Santa Barbara Symphony, as well

as that of renowned pianist Warren Jones, who

arrived on stage together with the Granada’s

brand new Steinway via the giant open elevator

of the orchestra pit, left the audience enthralled.

After intermission, Opera Santa Barbara and

State Street Ballet’s collaboration on the opera

Carmen was dazzling. “With the opening of this

Granada, a star theater has been born,” wrote

Donelan.

In February, Donelan had reported that

Stephen Cloud, who programmed for both CAMA

and the Lobero Theatre, believed that May 3

would be the real acid test for the room’s acoustics.

“Dave Conant, the principal acoustician,” Donelan

had said, “feels confident that the acoustic bumps

added to the walls and the oversized orchestra

shell will offset any issues raised by the structure

of the theater as a whole.”

Conant’s confidence was not overblown.

After the Los Angeles Philharmonic returned

to the Granada Theatre for the first time in

32 years on May 3, Donelan opined, “[It] was

easily the most anticipated event of the 2008

season thus far, and it more than lived up to

some very high expectations.” Not only was

this the first time the Philharmonic performed

at the new Granada, it was Music Director Esa-

Pekka Salonen’s last performance in Santa

Barbara. Donelan lauded the program devoted

to two monumental works, the Piano Concerto

No. 2 of Johannes Brahms and three selections

from Götterdämmerung by Richard Wagner, and

ended by saying, “The piece, the orchestra, the

soloist, the conductor, and the room all came

together for an unforgettable experience….

The Granada is back, and the Los Angeles

Philharmonic has shown what majesty there is

to look forward to.” •
