After 27 seasons the Lake Tahoe Music Festival has proven its ability
to adapt and grow with its audiences and the 2010 season is no
exception. With an artist roster bringing Broadway hits, Pops, classic
rock, R&B and a little country, the July 22 through Aug. 7 concert
series shows its diversity and a new depth that continues to draw
renowned artists and reach new attendees. Top that with a new outdoor
venue at Northstar-at-Tahoe™ Resort in addition to other locations in
North Lake Tahoe and Truckee, Calif., along with the natural beauty of
the surrounding Sierra Nevada and the starlit canopy above.
With
a musical lineup of Natalie Cole, Michael McDonald, Wynonna and
America's 40th Anniversary Tour, the series also stays true to its
classical roots with two orchestra-backed performances of Broadway's
Best with Debbie Gravitte and an evening of ol' blue eye classics with
Simply Sinatra featuring Steve Lippia for a total of six concerts.
This
season also marks the premiere of the Orchestra Academy comprised of 36
of the most promising young musicians from around the globe. The
students will be completing their 10-day intensive Orchestra Academy
program led by Festival Maestro Timm Rolek and instructors Ariana Ghez,
principal oboist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Jerry Grossman,
principal cellist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. In addition to
the two Lake Tahoe Music Festival performances, the students present two
intimate nights of “Strictly Classical” performances July 21 with
Ariana Ghez and July 28 with Jerry Grossman.
