Art, For Heaven's Sake! Fine Arts Festival 45th Anniversary!

Schedule:

10am - 12pm: Festivo Ensemble

Flute Choir

The Festivo Ensemble plays a fairly wide variety of music such as classical, Celtic, oldies, jazz, and others; they are currently developing a wedding repertoire and are open to performing in Inland Empire as opportunities arise. Every once in a while, they may want to play a quartet or other conglomeration and will collaborate with other musicians, when they can work that out.

JAZZ IN THE GARDEN
Jazz in the Garden is one of the musical highlights of the show. Wendy Ryan has put together a quintet made up of Los Angeles jazz musicians whose bios are so long it’s easier to list who they’ve played with.  Some of the names of famous artists with which they have toured with and recorded include Woody Herman, Jack Jones, Rosemary Clooney, Clare Fischer, Tony Bennett, Lou Rauls, Roberta Flack, Horace Silver, and even the Temptations.  Ron Stout – trumpet; Gerry Pinter – sax; Adrian Rosen – bass; Paul Kreibich – drums; Wendy Ryan – piano.

12pm - 3:30pm: Wendy Ryan Sextet

Playing the Greats

The Wendy Ryan Sextet features a stellar group that includes Ann Patterson, Sax, Les Benedict, Trombone, Carl Saunders, Trumpet, John B. Bass, Paul Kreibich, Drums, and Wendy Ryan, on piano. Each member of this talented quintet, has played and recorded with jazz greats from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Lou Rawls, Bette Midler, Linda Ronstadt, BB King to Henry Mancini, Sarah Vaughan, and many more (The Wendy Ryan Quintet is generously sponsored by Maupin and Associates.)

3:30pm - 5pm: Reverend Joe Zarro

Acoustic Cover Songs

Reverend Joe Zarro plays an eclectic mix of acoustic cover songs, from Sublime and Soul Asylum to John Prine and the Eagles. He’s the pastor of Redlands UCC, but his covers are the secular songs he loves to play in his living room with his kids, who might make a guest appearance for a song or two.

5pm - 7pm: Ana González de Jorgenson

Traditional Mexican music

Ana González de Jorgenson was born in Mexico into a family of musicians. She grew up listening mostly to classical music, old boleros, and traditional romantic and ranchero ballads. Ana has a passion for tangos, opera, and all forms of dramatic performance.
