of Chinese acrobats, dancers and musicians will take center stage to bring
you an enchanting afternoon of entertainment. After the show, you’ll have
time to do some browsing in the Chinese import shops that line Gin Ling,
the “Street of the Golden Palace.” This trip was released in the spring.

A Special Lord of the
Strings with the John Jorgenson Quintet The quintet features
guitarist John Jorgenson, a founding member of the Desert Rose Band and
the Hellecasters, six-year members of Elton John’s band. Artists including
Barbara Streisand, Bonnie Raitt, and Earl Scruggs have sought out
Jorgenson’s guitar work. Recently, John Jorgenson was chosen to portray
Django Reinhardt in the film Head in the Clouds. At one of John’s
performances, audiences were amazed by his dazzling guitar work as well as
his mastery as a clarinet player and vocalist. Whether playing his own
accessible compositions or classic standards, John and his band make music
that is equally romantic and ecstatic, played with virtuosity and soul.
This concert is made possible by the Village Gallery of Mission
Viejo.
