August 22 at 4 p.m.

Champagne on ice. Beautiful music. The stunning and picturesque setting of a private estate in Los Altos Hills – is the perfect Sunday afternoon to meet and listen to Jeston Lu and Enoch Lee, the 2021 winners of the Young Pianist’s Beethoven Competition. Presented and orchestrated by The American Beethoven Society the 15th annual Sparkling Musicale salutes the 36 anniversary of The American Beethoven Society and its historic preservation and the legacy of Ludwig van Beethoven, the legendary composer whose sounds of his magnificent music will be heard in the hills of California. Cheers!

The American Beethoven Society is an international organization dedicated to the creative genius of Beethoven, whose music speaks to the heart and mind of humanity. The Society’s primary work is the creation and support of a comprehensive collection of Beethoven materials at the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, which is housed at San José State University’s Martin Luther King Library. If you love the music of Beethoven, a must visit to San Jose’s Beethoven Center will definitely enrich your cultural enjoyment as well as expand your priceless knowledge about Beethoven’s genius.

BroadwaySF Presents HAMILTON in the Bay Area

August 10 through September 5, 2021

History repeats itself: By popular demand HAMILTON is back in town! Here is your opportunity to see this spectacular musical as it showcases the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON is the story of America then, as told by America now. With book, music and lyrics by the incomparable Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. I was very fortunate to see it with my grandson Zev, age 13, on its previous tour of San Francisco, but definitely plan to see it again! And so should you! First or second time watching this musical – it is one of the most fabulous and fulfilling experiences in the theatre. Truly unforgettable!
