ARIZONA MUSICFEST
FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA WEEK
Featuring Players From the Nation's Finest Orchestras
Scheherazade and Mozart
Arizona Musicfest Orchestra
Conducted by Robert Moody
Featuring Ricardo Morales, clarinet
Tuesday, February 24 at 7:30pm
Festival Orchestra Week opens with a dazzling program. Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade is a technicolor tour-de- force of intense orchestral colors and a captivating story inspired by The Arabian Nights. The solo violin of Frank Huang, Concertmaster of the Houston Symphony and Arizona Musicfest Orchestra, is the voice of Scheherazade as she enchants the Sultan
Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is a work of absolute genius that exquisitely displays the tone, range and agility of the clarinet, especially in the hands of featured soloist Ricardo Morales. "Hearing the amazing Ricardo Morales play ... was riveting!" proclaimed The New York Times whose critics regard him as a star of the clarinet world. Morales is former Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, and currently Principal Clarinet of The Philadelphia Orchestra and Arizona Musicfest Orchestra.
The concert opens with Fanfare Ritmico. This work by GRAMMY and Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Higdon is a rich tapestry of sound. "Higdon's work is traditionally rooted yet imbued with integrity, freshness and a desire to entertain." The Times of London.

Beethoven, Bach & The Blue Danube
Arizona Musicfest Orchestra
Conducted by Robert Moody
Featuring Orion Weiss, piano
Thursday, February 26 at 7:30pm
Beethoven's majestic, sublime and much loved
Emperor Piano Concerto will be performed by one of the season's most sought-after soloists, Orion Weiss. His deeply felt and exceptionally crafted performances go far beyond his technical mastery and have won him worldwide acclaim. "When you're named after one of the biggest constellations in the night sky, the pressure is on to display a little star power - and the young pianist Orion Weiss did exactly that," said The Washington Post.
The extravagant orchestral transcription of Bach's Prelude & Fugue in E-flat Major is richly and imaginatively scored, eliminating the organ in exchange for enormous orchestral color. In just 22 minutes, Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier Suite captures the many moods of the three-hour opera with all its tender moments and gorgeous music.
One of the most popular works in classical music, Johann Strauss'
Blue Danube Waltz is universally adored for its familiar signature melody.

Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 & Janáček Glagolitic Mass
Arizona Musicfest Orchestra, Chorus and Soloists
Conducted by Robert Moody
Dr. Rebecca Lord, Chorus Master
Sunday, March 1 at 3pm
One of Tchaikovsky's greatest works, the dramatic masterpiece Symphony No. 4 is the blockbuster anchor of this thrilling concert featuring the extraordinary talents of the Arizona Musicfest Orchestra. Profoundly expressive, pushing the boundary of every emotion, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 has it all: painful melancholy, capricious dreams and exuberant triumph.
This tour de force is paired with one of the 20th century's masterworks, Janáček's remarkable Glagolitic Mass. With its synthesis of thunderous brass outbursts, rhythmic energy, radiant melodies and interludes of rapt contemplation, the Glagolitic Mass has established itself as a spectacular contribution to the choral and orchestral repertoire.
The concert opens with Anton Bruckner's powerful setting of Psalm 150 for chorus, soprano soloist and orchestra.
Venue: Pinnacle Presbyterian Church, 25150 N. Pima Road, Scottsdale 85255

FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT
GRAND CANYON TRIP FOR BLIND CHILDREN
Local Climber Will Lead 5 Day Hiking and Rafting Trip in the Upper Colorado River
Local climber and mountaineer, Jessica Zaneis, will guide 12 visually impaired students from the Foundation for Blind Children (FBC) on a week long hiking and rafting trip through the Grand Canyon.
A silent charity auction to benefit the outdoor excursion will take place at Brix Wines on Saturday, March 7, from 3-6 p.m., 37636 N. Tom Darlington Drive, in Carefree.
The multi-day trek involves a five-day Upper Colorado River rafting trip and a challenging 7.5 mile day hike on Bright Angel Trail.
A resident of Cave Creek, Zaneis first became involved with FBC while volunteering at a blind orphanage in Moshi Tanzania near Mt. Kilimanjaro. She was inspired to share her love of the outdoors, and since 2014 has actively worked with FBC to provide visually impaired students with empowering outdoor exploration opportunities.
“The outdoors has given me a tremendous amount of courage, confidence, and peace. Having the ability to pay it forward, and share it with these special kids is more than I could ever ask for,” said Zaneis.
Brix Wines invites the community to help make this life changing Grand Canyon trip possible. The silent charity auction will feature gift baskets, sports memorabilia, event tickets, hotel and golf packages, spa treatments, and restaurant certificates. All proceeds will be donated to the FBC.
To participate or donate please contact Jessica Zaneis at 602-570-1213 or email jeszaneis@gmail.com. For more information on the Foundation for Blind Children and visually impaired programs visit www.seeitourway.org.
Jessica Zaneis is a nationally recognized writer and mountaineering guide. Her articles and musings can be found at www.chronicclimberchick.com.
The Foundation for Blind Children believes that vision loss is a diagnosis, not a disability, and serves students of all ages from throughout the Valley. Their mission is to empower the visually impaired to live out their dreams.
Scully Learning Center was developed to provide Experiences to enrich the lives of our developmentally disabled participants. The Center is located on the banks of Cave Creek. The facility includes an organic garden; chickens, ducks, goats and tortoises;
computers; fully equipped kitchen; a fully equipped ceramic studio and several other art creation sites. In addition we provide opportunities for hiking and a variety of field trips. We recently added 3 Strider Pedaless Bikes and have added a race track to our wish list. We are staffed exclusively by volunteers and always welcome new ideas and new participants.

Learn a new craft, hear a lecture, exercise your brain and more at the Foothills Community Foundation
Are you looking to learn a new craft or skill, like card making, digital photography or acting? Do you want to expand your mind by hearing a fascinating lecture or viewing a colorful art show? Or, maybe you’re up for a good game of Bingo or Bridge? These are just some of the many classes, events and activities offered for local residents of all ages at the Foothills Community Foundation’s (FCF) Holland Community Center, 34250 N. 60th Street, Bldg. B, in Scottsdale.
As FCF prepares to celebrate its fifth year at the Holland Community Center campus, its staff and volunteers have lined up an exciting roster of events, presentations and activities.
“We’re so fortunate to live in a community that cherishes arts and entertainment, that cares about sustainability and that welcomes the chance to learn from others,” said Chris Winger, FCF president and CEO. “Take advantage of our Holland Community Center…not only will you expand your mind, you’re sure to make some new friends or re-connect with old ones.”
FCF has added “Toddler Story and Playtime” sessions on Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The class features a mix of open play, songs, stories, dances, parachute play and bubbles. Geared towards parents, grandparents, caregivers and their toddlers, the classes are free through October 30. Starting Nov. 6, FCF will sell punch cards offering five classes for $30. No reservations are required but adults must stay with their toddlers (no drop-offs).
Sue Parker of Cave Creek is teaching Card Making classes from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 5, March 5, April 2 and May 7. The Thursday evening classes are geared towards adults and offer a fun way to learn how to create greeting cards using Stampin’ Up products, including exclusive stamps, paper, stamp pads, ribbons and other embellishments. For $20 per class, participants learn how to make four greeting cards and/or a possible 3-D project, such as a small gift box or treat bag.
“People sometimes think they need some special skills or be "crafty" in order to participate, but that’s not the case,” Parker said, adding that she sees both women and men in her classes. “My favorite thing is the reaction when someone stamps for the first time, assembles their card, and sits back amazed at what they just created. And if someone is an experienced stamper, they get new ideas and learn some new techniques. Even people with a room full of craft supplies at home will enjoy the social atmosphere of crafting together with new friends.”
Other upcoming FCF classes at the Holland Community Center include Brain Games, Bridge, Digital Photography, Adobe Photoshop Elements, an “Art Relaxation and Herbal Teas” class that includes Tai Chi relaxation exercises, and two Focus on Your Health classes about finding health help in the home and getting through the holidays after experiencing a loss.
Desert Foothills Theater (DFT) and the Desert Awareness Committee are also part of the Foothills Community Foundation. For a full list of FCF classes, MindQuest lectures, visual arts shows, DFT theater productions and classes, Desert Awareness hikes and educational programs, and other activities, visit www.azfcf.org or call (480) 488-1090.

The Heavy Smoke Nearly Took Baxter's Life....
As firefighters checked the burning home for any residents trapped inside, the all too familiar sound of a barking dog arose from the fire. Henry, a veteran firefighter with the local fire department, ran inside the dense smoke and fire and came out with a lifeless black labrador obviously suffering from smoke inhalation. Thanks to a donation of a Fido Bag from The Fetch Foundation last summer, Baxter lived to see another day. “I'm thrilled to hear this,” Marie Peck of The Fetch Foundation said of the dogs' rescue with the help of the donated mask. “I'm just really glad we were able to make a difference for that family's pet.”

Team Job Search, which was created by Richard McCarty, is a community program sponsored by the Foothills Food Bank that will help individuals reinvent the way they look for work.

Team Job Search will teach food bank customers proven techniques to ensure that applications and resumes are selected for interviews. Team Job Search will conduct meetings to introduce food bank clients to new methods for finding the right job. Workshop times and dates will be announced soon and all sessions will be held at Desert Foothills Library in Cave Creek.
The Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center provides emergency food, financial assistance and other life necessities and resources to individuals and families in the desert foothills, which encompasses a 180-square mile area that includes Black Canyon City, Cave Creek, Carefree, Anthem, Desert Hills, New River, north Scottsdale and north Phoenix.

Cave Creek Museum re-opens for the season on Wed., Oct. 1. Located at 6140 Skyline Drive, the Museum features an extensive collection of prehistoric and historic artifacts that describe the lives of Native Americans, miners, ranchers and pioneers. The museum hours are Wed., Thurs., Sat. and Sun. from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Fri. from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Entrance fees are $5 for adults; $3 for seniors; and $2 for students. Children 12 and under are free.
One of the biggest highlights of the season will be monthly demonstrations of the Museum’s historic “Golden Reef” Stamp Mill which dates back to 1880 and was used to crush hard rock ore so that gold could be separated and saved. There have not been any operational Stamp Mills in Maricopa County since the closure of the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum in 2011, and Cave Creek Museum’s Stamp Mill is the only operational 10-Stamp Mill in the state. The schedule of monthly demonstrations will be announced on Oct. 1.
Another new exhibit will be “Saddle Up,” a colorful display of horse saddles dating from 1890 to 1950, including one that was made for a professional baseball player. The new “Baskets, Baskets, Beautiful Baskets” exhibit features Native American baskets dating from the 1880s to the 1930s.
The baskets are from several Arizona tribes: Pima (O'Odham), Navajo, Apache, Havasupai, Yavapai and Papago (Tohono O'Odham). In addition, the Museum will unveil a new “Arizona’s Greatest Battle” exhibit that features history about what is considered to be the greatest recorded battle ever fought in Arizona. The 1857 battle was the last in a series of skirmishes in which the O’Odham (Pima) and Piipaash (Maricopa) fought their adversaries to the west. The exhibit will include a replica war shield, a war club, sandals and more on loan from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
Lifestyle will also be highlighted in a new bola tie and “Dirty Laundry” washing machine exhibit.
“The washing machine was revolutionary because it changed a woman’s life dramatically,” said Evelyn Johnson, executive director of Cave Creek Museum. “We’ll show the evolution of this household task from 1870 through 1940.”
The museum will host several new children’s programs throughout the year and bring back popular annual events, including “A Miner’s Dinner” in November, “Antiques Appraisal Day” in January, “Authors’ Month” in February and its biggest fundraiser of the year, “Homes Through Time” home tour in March.

Large and heavy stamp mills were used in the late 1800s and through the 1920s to crush hard rock ore so that the gold could be separated and saved. At one time, many such mills were reported to exist in the Cave Creek Mining District. The Museum’s “Golden Reef Mine Stamp Mill” was declared to be an Arizona State Historic Property by Arizona State Parks in 1986. The Museum is particularly pleased to showcase this 10-Stamp Mill that came from its own mining district and was originally located on Continental Mountain.
