NORTH COAST, Calif. – The new Mendocino Coast concert series, Musica Eclectica, got off to a rousing start on Nov. 13, with one of the best chamber music concerts in recent memory.

A string and piano quartet featuring Caspar's Tony Miksak on Cello performed Mozart's Piano Quartet in E-flat major, and Brahm's Piano Quartet #3, Op. 60. Their performance received a standing ovation.

Now, as the Monty Pythons used to say, “for something completely different.”

Following the musical diversity theme of the new concert series, Musica Eclectica, Little River concert producer Jim Culp presents a joyous afternoon of show tunes and songs we all love sung by Marin County vocalist Adele Oppenheimer, accompanied by local pianist Lynn Kiesewetter on Sunday, Nov. 27.

After intermission at the Woods Clubhouse, on Little River Airport Road, Oppenheimer will hand out songbooks for members of the audience and lead them in a sing-along that features tunes that anyone over the age of 50 should know.

Adele Oppenheimer’s musical career started when she was three, harmonizing with her sisters and singing words she didn’t even understand.

She continued singing throughout school and later with the College of Marin Community Chorus & Gospel choir, and the San Francisco Choral Society.

She is currently a member of Ross Commons, a four-part harmony group, which often performs at Bread & Roses venues.

Oppenheimer also performs with piano and rhythm accompaniment at retirement communities in Marin, Napa, Sonoma and now Mendocino County.
