Lemmon prides himself on owning just about everything the Cabrillo Festival might need, or at least knowing where to procure the necessary object or device. He’s been collecting percussion instruments ever since the San Jose Symphony awarded him a position at 19 while he was still an undergrad at San Jose State. He was promoted to principal three years later, a position he now holds with Ballet Silicon Valley and Symphony Silicon Valley. Cabrillo is by far Lemmon’s most demanding gig. Playing the music itself is a challenge, of course, but his job is also physically taxing in the constant breaking down, setting up and rearranging of gear and in the variety of instruments he has to round up. He doesn’t keep a master list of everything he owns, which he stores in various locations around the region.

“My mother was very supportive,” Poon recalled, “I had to beg my father, He did not want his only daughter to go so far away.”, Her father let her audition to “settle her heart.” He imagined since thousands of children auditioned for the school, his beloved little girl would soon return home, Because of Poon’s age, she was eligible for the second year and there were only four spots open, Throughout the rigorous audition, the young girl from Hong Kong stood out and at the age of 11, Poon began training andrea pfister • vintage shoes • slip on flats in black suede • v front topline • low heel flats • vtg ballet flats • made in it with the preeminent school..

It was a very personal farewell: there were no official invitations, More than 40 ambassadors invited their friends to the event that started with an April 10 opening night welcome reception for ambassadors, captains, and sponsors that featured bourbon tasting and s’mores, All of the April 11 events were sold out: a golf tournament, ladies shopping luncheon and gala dinner auction, The final voyage raised $765,000 for research, Originated by Sarah and Don Lucas 13 years ago when their daughter Mary was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the benefit andrea pfister • vintage shoes • slip on flats in black suede • v front topline • low heel flats • vtg ballet flats • made in it has raised almost $7 million for research and clinical trials..

The McClung exhibit features 13 archival digital prints of historic or scenic locations around the world, including the Brooklyn Bridge and Grand Central Station in New York City, Paddington Square in London and Le Grand Palais in Paris. Curator DeWitt Cheng says that through digital manipulation she is able to “capture the dynamism of these public spaces as no static single shot could.” Rubio’s “Worldview” offers 10 oil paintings of coastal life, both in California and elsewhere. He says each “imaginary terrain” offers a suggestion of the topography of Northern California, sometimes other places.” Cheng notes that Rubio paints in a manner that calls to mind “Rousseau’s so-called ‘Egyptian’ style, derived from memory and imagination.” McClung’s “Visual Echoes” will be on view through April 30 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), 2575 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park. Public access is limited, so interested viewers should schedule an appointment by going to Facebook.com/StanfordArtSpaces. To arrange a tour, call Cheng at 650-725-3622 or email dewittc@stanford.edu.
