Now you have a chance to experience her as an actress, as she grew up with, and received her formal education in both music and science, currently pursuing her PhD in paleoclimatology.

For forty-plus years, beyond being the soloist and/or pianist with many of the most renowned symphonies in the U.S. and beyond, Jeffrey Siegel has been performing/presenting "Keyboard Conversations." This is a concert setting, though before each piece he explains not only a bit of the history behind it and things to look forward to within the piece, but also some interesting facts one might not know, unless you happen to have REALLY studied the piece or composer. And then there's a Q&A after the concert to cover anything else.David Fleming speaks with Siegel about this series - including the next one, "Music of Joy and Peace coming up soon at McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert. And a bit of a sidetrack to Gershwin.

Adélaïde Labille-Guiard was a painter in 18th century France, when women were barely recognized, and for the most part, not welcomed as such. Despite this, she ended up being amongst the first, and very FEW women to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. David Fleming speaks with Janell Strube, author of Adelaide: Painter of the Revolution. This work of historical fiction takes place leading up to the French Revolution... though the prologue begins at the absolute HEIGHT... and in the heart... of one of the major revolts in 1793, much like an action movie drawing you right in!

David Fleming speaks with Matt Sorum - best known for his work with Guns & Roses, Velvet Revolver, The Cult... and this is they spoke the least about. This edition of the program focuses on what was instilled in Matt to even think of creating a non-profit with a focus on elementary education through music.

KVC-Arts first welcomed Joe Di Fiore about 3 1/2 years ago when he released "Out of the Woods," a wonderful combination of jazz and orchestral works.
