"Deborah Crooks created a seven-person, two-act folk opera based on a falcon pair who nested on the bridge between Oakland and Alameda-until one was tragically shot. Crooks worked on and revised the work for four years, until it emerged in full expression of 'the nature of place, love and change at the intersection of the developed and natural environment.'"
"The venue offers a five-show package covering any combination of the nine anniversary concerts through April 26."
The Back Room, a venue in Berkeley, celebrates its tenth anniversary with a performance by Scott Amendola's Anniversary Quartet. The quartet includes bassist Mat Muntz, guitarist Ryan Schaeffer, and violinist Jenny Scheinman. The venue has become a hub for various music genres, including bluegrass, blues, and jazz. A five-show package is available for the nine anniversary concerts running through April 26. Additionally, a folk opera titled 'Flight Lessons' will be performed, inspired by peregrine falcons and their natural habitat.
