The Pacific Chamber Symphony opens its 25th season (and 5th season at the Bankhead Theater) with an all-Mozart program. The program features Pacific Chamber Symphony Principal French Horn Glen Swarts in the Concerto in E-flat. Two other works round out the first half of the concert: the Cassation No. 2 and the Symphony in D, which Mozart reworked to became the overture to the opera “La Finta Giardiniera”.
The program concludes with the great Symphony No. 40 in g minor. The
famous yearning motive of the first movement of this work is a harbinger of
the Romantic Era. Sections of this symphony are heard in the classic Jack
Nickelson film “Five Easy Pieces.”

Art Walk
MARK YOUR CALENDARS for the 11th Anniversary ArtWalk Livermore set for
October 13th, 2012, from 11am to 5pm. ArtWalk is a fun, friendly cross
between an arts festival and an exhibition tour, bringing thousands to
downtown Livermore to enjoy an "Art District for a Day".
Last year we made a few changes to the event making it more user-friendly and allowing ArtWalkers to experience more of the event by consolidating exhibits into spaces in booth spaces in downtown pocket parks and the Livermore Valley Plaza in front of the Bankhead Theater, as well as the Chamber of Commerce parking lot and Blacksmith Square.
In addition to the clustered art booths, art-destinations will be listed on the map with their special offerings for the day. These are businesses that regularly engage in art-making or art-exhibiting, such the Figurehead Gallery, or art studios ranging from the Bothwell Downtown Art Studios to Firehouse Art Studios to Art Glass Studio.
The Art Banners that livened up parts of downtown Livermore during the month of September will be displayed for up-close viewing at the Livermore Valley City Center Plaza. A silent auction of the banners is part of the festivities, with a wine, beer and beverage bar close by. The silent auction closes at 4:30pm, and proceeds benefit the Bothwell Arts Center. Arts & crafts for children will be found at Lizzie Fountain.
Please enjoy a stroll through our 2012 ArtWalk Artist Gallery to preview a sampling of what you will find at ArtWalk.
Proceeds from ArtWalk benefit the Bothwell Arts Center, which in turn
assists many artists, performers, musicians, dancers, students and teachers
of the arts with affordable working space.

In a sensational “race” that captured the world’s attention 100 years ago,
teams led by Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott became the first to reach the
South Pole. Amundsen won this “race” in part because Scott’s expedition was
burdened with an extensive scientific program. Pulitzer Prize winning
historian Edward Larson retells this story in light of Scott’s science and
Amundsen’s focus. Larson’s recent book on science in the heroic age of
Antarctic exploration, “An Empire of Ice”, was a finalist for Britain’s
