One of the first victims in a budget crisis is the Arts. The support of the community is critical to the student artists and to the Arts Program check book. We encourage all OLLI members to attend as many programs as possible.

For those who wish to see a number of performances, get the best seating, and the cheapest prices - consider the Flex Pass Option for Theater/Dance and Music Passes for Music programs. Information is available at CSUF Arts.

OLLI EVENTS

DINNER & JAZZ CONCERT

Saturday, June 11 at 5:30 in the OLLI Courtyard

Your OLLI Hospitality Committee presents a fun evening with this multi-cultural event. Imagine drinks, hors d’oeuvres, multi-entrée Chinese buffet, and dessert in the OLLI Courtyard and then listening to an amazing jazz concert in the comfort of Mackey Auditorium, all for only $13!

“Amazing jazz concert” is not an exaggeration. This fabulous foursome each has credentials as long as a dragon’s tail.

Let's introduce them:

Jim Szilagyi, piano, has played with jazz greats, Art Pepper & Sergio Mendez, and spent 3 years as Pat & Debbie Boone’s Music Director. For 2 years, he worked with world famous Hungarian jazz guitarist, Gabor Szabo. He also has been Music Director for several TV shows and has performed at 40+ jazz festivals, including the Playboy Jazz Festival.

Jotty Johnson, bass, has performed with Carmen McCrea, Chuck Mangioni, Kenny Burrell, Horace Silver and many more recording artists. He is a talented bass player and highly sought after throughout Southern California and frequently can be heard at all the best-known jazz venues, including Catalina Jazz Club, Steamers, the Ritz Carlton Hotels and the Orange County Performing Arts Center.

Bob Forte, drums, while studying at the Hartt College of Music, he played with Hartford Symphony Orchestra. As a young drummer, he played with jazz giants, Jimmy McGriff & Jimmy Heath. After moving to California, he toured and recorded with Barry Manilow, the Jimmy Dorsey Band, Dave Brubeck, the Count Basie Band, and many others.

Joe Lawton, saxophone, a man of more talents and accomplishments than can mentioned here; refer to the February 2011 Spotlight feature for some of these. They say you can judge someone by the company they keep, so Joe is a very talented musician indeed. He also is an OLLI member and is bringing these wonderful musicians for our listening pleasure.

Don’t miss this lucky opportunity for a delightful evening for only $13! BUT, space is limited and reservations MUST be in by June 6.

DINNER & JAZZ CONCERT

Saturday, June 11 at 5:30 in the OLLI Courtyard

Your OLLI Hospitality Committee presents a fun evening with this multi-cultural event. Imagine drinks, hors d’oeuvres, multi-entrée Chinese buffet, and dessert in the OLLI Courtyard and then listening to an amazing jazz concert in the comfort of Mackey Auditorium, all for only $13!

“Amazing jazz concert” is not an exaggeration. This fabulous foursome each has credentials as long as a dragon’s tail.

Let's introduce them:

Jim Szilagyi, piano, has played with jazz greats, Art Pepper & Sergio Mendez, and spent 3 years as Pat & Debbie Boone’s Music Director. For 2 years, he worked with world famous Hungarian jazz guitarist, Gabor Szabo. He also has been Music Director for several TV shows and has performed at 40+ jazz festivals, including the Playboy Jazz Festival.

Jotty Johnson, bass, has performed with Carmen McCrea, Chuck Mangioni, Kenny Burrell, Horace Silver and many more recording artists. He is a talented bass player and highly sought after throughout Southern California and frequently can be heard at all the best-known jazz venues, including Catalina Jazz Club, Steamers, the Ritz Carlton Hotels and the Orange County Performing Arts Center.

Bob Forte, drums, while studying at the Hartt College of Music, he played with Hartford Symphony Orchestra. As a young drummer, he played with jazz giants, Jimmy McGriff & Jimmy Heath. After moving to California, he toured and recorded with Barry Manilow, the Jimmy Dorsey Band, Dave Brubeck, the Count Basie Band, and many others.

Joe Lawton, saxophone, a man of more talents and accomplishments than can mentioned here; refer to the February 2011 Spotlight feature for some of these. They say you can judge someone by the company they keep, so Joe is a very talented musician indeed. He also is an OLLI member and is bringing these wonderful musicians for our listening pleasure.

At age eleven Janice Lowry began keeping a diary. Fifty years later 126 volumes of notes, drawings, collages, and lists receive national attention as part of the Smithsonian's Archive of American Art.

In 2007 OC Weekly named Lowry the region's best visual artist, praising her shadow boxes generated from found objects collected from thrift stores, swap meets and the trash.

Lowry earned her bachelor's degree at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1979 and a master's degree a year later. She also taught at the Art Center as well as Cypress College and the Art Institute of Orange County in addition to her achievements as an artist.

On September 20, 2009 Janice Lowry passed away. The Grand Central Art Center is proud to present selections from the life of this prolific and talented artist. In conjunction with the exhibition, Grand Central Press will also publish a book about the art of Janice Lowry.

He is a talented bass player and highly sought after throughout Southern California and frequently can be heard at all the best-known jazz venues, including Catalina Jazz Club, Steamers, the Ritz Carlton Hotels and the Orange County Performing Arts Center.

Bob Forte, drums, while studying at the Hartt College of Music, he played with Hartford Symphony Orchestra. As a young drummer, he played with jazz giants, Jimmy McGriff & Jimmy Heath. After moving to California, he toured and recorded with Barry Manilow, the Jimmy Dorsey Band, Dave Brubeck, the Count Basie Band, and many others.

Joe Lawton, saxophone, a man of more talents and accomplishments than can mentioned here; refer to the February 2011 Spotlight feature for some of these.

The CSUF Arts College provides a unique opportunity for community members to experience outstanding theater, music, and dance productions as well as art exhibits.

One of the first victims in a budget crisis is the Arts. The support of the community is critical to the student artists and to the Arts Program check book. We encourage all OLLI members to attend as many programs as possible.

For those who wish to see a number of performances, get the best seating, and the cheapest prices - consider the Flex Pass Option for Theater/Dance and Music Passes for Music programs. Information is available at CSUF Arts.

Closing Reception: Saturday, June 4, 7:00-10:00 P.M.

About: A retrospective exhibition of work by Santa Ana assemblage artist Janice Lowry.

At age eleven Janice Lowry began keeping a diary. Fifty years later 126 volumes of notes, drawings, collages, and lists receive national attention as part of the Smithsonian's Archive of American Art.

In 2007 OC Weekly named Lowry the region's best visual artist, praising her shadow boxes generated from found objects collected from thrift stores, swap meets and the trash.

Lowry earned her bachelor's degree at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1979 and a master's degree a year later. She also taught at the Art Center as well as Cypress College and the Art Institute of Orange County in addition to her achievements as an artist.

On September 20, 2009 Janice Lowry passed away. The Grand Central Art Center is proud to present selections from the life of this prolific and talented artist. In conjunction with the exhibition, Grand Central Press will also publish a book about the art of Janice Lowry.
