Sound Union, Inc.

The Dirty Cello band performs at the new Sound Union in Redwood City on May 9
The band Dirty Cello is a globe trotting band that performs blues, rock and Americana, all fronted by virtuoso cellist Rebecca Roudman. A classically trained symphony player, Roudman dropped the straight- jacket of classical music years ago and hasn’t looked back since.
“We travel all over the place,” says Roudman, “and everywhere we go, the idea is to put on a high energy show. We’re a rock band, but with a cello instead of a lead guitar.” The Dirty Cello band really does get around - with shows from Iceland, to China, to a Santa Cruz nudist resort. The band will be performing at the newly opened Sound Union in Redwood City.
Among their many descriptions, Oakland Magazine describes the group as, "Dirty Cello’s music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical." Roudman agrees with this description and adds, “We’re all about the fun at our shows and we step on stage with only a vague plan as to what specific songs we are going to play, and we react to what the audience wants to hear and adjust accordingly.”
With a set list ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Charlie Daniels to rocking original songs, the band can deliver on this promise. Tickets for the concert are available at DirtyCello.com

Get ready to snap your fingers and yell “Mambo!” along with Redwood Symphony and conductor Eric K in Catch It Tonight! Bernstein's kinetic Symphonic Dances from "West Side Story" evokes smoldering adolescence and the rhythm of youth.

In contrast, John Williams takes us back to the 60s in Escapades for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra (from the DreamWorks film "Catch Me If You Can"). Against a background of urbane jazz elements, the cat and mouse play between the alto sax, masterfully played by Michael Hernandez, and the orchestra perfectly captures the secrets and deception of the classic Spielberg movie.
