We're in for a special afternoon as award-winning jazz guitarist, composer and life-long surfer Peter Sprague teams up with pianist Danny Green, bassist Mack Leighton and Tripp Sprague, sax and flute. Together they will bring us music that jumps! It jumps around jazz, samba, The Beatles, tango, Hoagy Carmichael, John Coltrane and probably even a few compositions by Peter. These musicians frequently start one song, improvise weaving melodies and then attempt a safe landing.

Bach Collegium San Diego Presents "Total Sound Explosion 2!" March 15-16 Bach Collegium San Diego (BCSD), one of the country’s leading baroque ensembles, presents "Sound Explosion 2", featuring groundbreaking works from different centuries. Beginning with Rebel's shocking depiction of chaos, through Beethoven's exhilarating ride from darkness to triumphant light. "I'm looking forward to leading an unlikely pairing of two revolutionary works with the intrepid, firecracker BCSD orchestra on historical instruments,” said BCSD Musical Director Ruben Valenzuela. “In particular, the opportunity to bring Beethoven's sound world to the iconic Symphony No. 5, like you've never heard it before!" Many people know the Beethoven piece (at least the opening da da da dun....) but this will be the first time the audience will hear the piece played on period instruments, a very different experience from a regular symphony orchestra sound. Rebel: Les Élémens (Simphonie Nouvelle, 1737) Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C minor Op. 67 (1808) Bach Collegium San Diego engages audiences with accessible, historically informed performances and educational programs featuring repertoire from the Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical eras. The ensemble was founded in 2003 by Music Director Ruben Valenzuela, to diversify the musical offerings of the San Diego community.
