Join Us for Our

Grand Finale!

Pianist Anton Kuerti to Play Beethoven

Our 17th Season will finish with a flourish May 11-13 as we welcome internationally-acclaimed pianist Anton Kuerti to our

stage. Renowned for his vast understanding of Beethoven’s works, Mr. Kuerti will perform the Beethoven Concerto No. 4 in G Major for Piano and Orchestra, considered to be one of his greatest compositions. Also on the program is Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 in C Minor.

Mr. Kuerti consistently plays to sell-out crowds throughout North America and abroad, receiving rave reviews. “Suddenly we were in the unmistakable presence of greatness,” wrote Toronto’s Globe and Mail. “He was no longer playing the piano, the music was playing him and we rode the wave, too.” Read more.

The Alliance Voice

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:35:53 +0000

January 2009 was the month that the Alliance for the Arts, together with the City of Thousand Oaks, unveiled the newly remodeled Founders Room at the Fred Kavli Theatre at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza’s Bank of America Performing Arts Center. The project, spearheaded by visionary philanthropists and community leaders Annette and Ron Plotkin, transformed the room into an inviting, contemporary space which the entire community can enjoy. Additional funding was provided by Verizon and the City, with architectural and remodeling concepts developed and supervised by Francisco Behr of Westlake Village’s Behr Browers Architects.

The newly renovated Founders Room is yet another example of the public/private partnership between the City of Thousand Oaks and the Alliance.

It was a spectacular event for all! AND… just as the evening was drawing to a close, multi-Grammy Award winner Neil Sedaka surprised guests with an unexpected, impromptu WOW! performance, thanks to the efforts of Cabrillo Music Theatre, the Resident Musical Production Company at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.
