This program serves up a varied, danced-themed Valentine concert featuring Dvořák's light and airy Valse and Scherzo from Serenade for Strings, op. 22 and Piazzolla's sensuously rhythmic Argentine-tango based Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (Four Seasons). The latter will feature virtuosic violinist Christina Mok performing this exciting piece originally composed for an accordion-like instrument called the bandoneón. As evidenced by the name, this new arrangement by Russian conductor Leonid Desyatnikov includes an homage to Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Rounding out the performance are Aaron Copland's Dance Panels and Ottorino Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances. The Mission Chamber Orchestra of San Jose is conducted by Emily Ray. Learn More

Description
Commonwealth Club Silicon Valley presents The History of Urban Sprawl, with Professor Robert Bruegmann.
In recent years, critics have argued that urban sprawl is a problem that must be stopped. Robert Bruegmann, professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago, argues that sprawl has always existed and attempts to stop it have been ineffective and produce consequences that are far worse than sprawl itself. With Bay Area residents no strangers to the issues of sprawl, Bruegmann will provide some critical insight to how sprawl has provided more residents with mobility, privacy and choice opportunities that were not previously available to them.
