  • The San Francisco Bay Area, California
    The San Francisco Bay Area, Can disaster be a good thing for the arts? In the California San Francisco Bay Area, the answer is a qualified “yes.” A terrible earthquake has shaken loose mil- lions of dollars for the arts, while urban sprawl has boosted the development of arts centers right in the communities where people live. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, many key institutions were declared unsafe and had to be closed, fixed and primped. Here’s what reopened in the past five years alone: American Conservatory Theatre (ACT), the city’s major repertory theater, for $27 million; the War Memorial Opera House, home of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet, for $88 million; and on the fine arts front, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, for $40 million; and the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University, for $37 million. Another $130 million is being raised to rebuild the seismically crippled M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, and at least $30 million is being sought to repair the Berkeley Art Museum. Within San Francisco itself, a vital visual arts center has been forged just within the last five years with the opening of the new $62 million San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Meanwhile the Jewish Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Mexican Museum and a new African-American cultural center all plan to move to seismically safe buildings in the area in the next two years. Art galleries, on the other hand, limp along compared with those in Los Angeles or New York.

  • Origins There Is Not Enough Evidence to Assert What Conditions Gave Rise to the First Cities
    City A city is a relatively large and permanent human settlement.[1][2] Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town within general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law. Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process, but it also presents challenges to managing urban growth.[3] A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers for employment. Once a city expands far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed aconurbation or megalopolis. Origins There is not enough evidence to assert what conditions gave rise to the first cities. However, some theorists have speculated on what they consider suitable pre- conditions, and basic mechanisms that might have been important driving forces. The conventional view holds that cities first formed after the Neolithic revolution. The Neolithic revolution brought agriculture, which made denser human populations possible, thereby supporting city development.[4] The advent of farming encouraged hunter-gatherers to abandon nomadic lifestyles and to settle near others who lived by agricultural production. The increased population-density encouraged by farming and the increased output of food per unit of land created conditions that seem more suitable for city-like activities. In his book, Cities and Economic Development, Paul Bairoch takes up this position in his argument that agricultural activity appears necessary before true cities can form.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Michelle Lynch Reynolds (415) 920-9181 [email protected] Rotunda Dance Series: Mary Sano and Her Duncan Dancers Presented by Dancers’ Group and World Arts West, in partnership with Grants for the Arts and San Francisco City Hall Free Friday, October 2, 2015 12 Noon San Francisco City Hall SAN FRANCISCO, CA—September 1, 2015—On Friday, October 2nd, the Rotunda Dance Series presents Mary Sano and Her Duncan Dancers who will premiere a new work choreographed especially for the space, set to the Suite No. 2 by J.S. Bach, and accompanied by flutist Diane Grubbe. The company will also perform traditional Isadora Duncan repertoire to the music of Schubert, Chopin, and Brahms. Through her company and schools, Sano preserves the artistic legacy of Isadora Duncan, an acclaimed dancer born in San Francisco in 1877, whose philosophy and style were influential in the development of Modern dance in the early 20th century. Throughout 2015, the monthly Rotunda Dance Series celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Panama- Pacific International Exposition. The 1915 Exposition left a lasting imprint on the San Francisco Bay Area, especially in regards to world dance and music. It is only fitting that the highly visible Rotunda Dance Series use this historic anniversary to celebrate the past, present and future of dance in the Bay Area. The high-profile Rotunda Dance Series brings many of the Bay Area’s most celebrated dance companies to San Francisco City Hall’s rotunda space for free monthly noon-time performances. The series is presented by Dancers’ Group and World Arts West in partnership with Grants for the Arts and San Francisco City Hall.

Among the narrators will be former administrators, faculty members, trustees, alumni, and family of former Conservatory luminaries. Through this diverse group, we will explore the growth and expansion of the Conservatory, including its departments, organization, finances and curriculum. We will capture personal memories before they are lost, fill in gaps in our understanding of the Conservatory's history, and will uncover how the Conservatory helped to shape San Francisco's musical culture through the past century. Robin Sutherland Interview This interview was conducted at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on January 29 and February 29, 2016 in the Conservatory’s archives by Tessa Updike.

  • Applauding the Cultural Scene
    23_573586 Ch15.qxd 11/17/04 3:17 PM Page 245 Chapter 15 Applauding the Cultural Scene In This Chapter ᮣ Finding out what’s going on in town when you’re here ᮣ Getting tickets to concerts, theater, and other events ᮣ Enjoying the major opera, ballet, theater, and classical music scenes ᮣ Broadening your horizons with experimental theater and dance ᮣ Dining before or after the show hether you’re up for world-class classical music or experimental Wtheater, and pretty much everything in between, you can find it on stage in San Francisco. In this chapter, I’ll give you the overall picture and then detail how to find out what’s going on and score tickets. Getting the Inside Scoop Performing-arts fans can find plenty of interesting offerings in San Francisco. For drama, there’s a bit of the tried and true when Broadway road companies drop into town, and our own American Conservatory Theatre (ACT) regularly produces works that are visually inspired and well acted. Opera is just as vibrant. Although the great Enrico Caruso never returned to San Francisco after the shock of the 1906 earthquake, plenty of other stars have aria’d their way through town, raising the local opera company to world-class heights. The SF Symphony is in a similarCOPYRIGHTED league, and while I’m bragging, MATERIALI’d better mention the ballet. It, too, is as fine a company as you’ll see anywhere. But don’t let the big brands sway you from trying stages outside the Civic Center, including Yerba Buena Gardens, and smaller venues south of Market where experi- mental theater abounds.
