His engaging and informative preconcert discussions include his own renditions of symphonic examples at the piano, and he frequently advocates for the Symphony and orchestral music in radio broadcasts, television appearances, and web videos. He is the host of the local radio program Symphony Mix (KWDC FM 93.5), promoting orchestral events and broadcasting entertaining and educational programs about symphonic repertoire.

With a zeal for introducing new vital repertoire alongwithestablishedmasterworks,Mr.Jaffehas spearheaded the commissions of many world premieres. Avner Dorman’s Uzu and Muzu from Kakaruzu earned the Stockton Symphony national recognition for community engagement activities dealing with crucial social issues. A portion of the Stockton Symphony CD of Chris Brubeck’s Mark Twain’s World was broadcast nationally on NPR’s

Performance Today, and Ansel Adams: America, co-composed by Dave and Chris Brubeck, has since been performed nationally and abroad.

He teaches every summer at the Conductor’s Institute of South Carolina, and he conducted and taught at the Aspen Music Festival for fourteen years. He spent three seasons conducting at the Oberlin Conservatory and two as a visiting professor at Stanford University, highlighted by an Eastern European tour with the Stanford Symphony. He has served as music director for the Stockton Opera since 2000.

The Method offersabroadapproachtothemusicalgenres of the Americas, including folk, classical, Latin, jazz, rock, blues, and ragtime. The catchy and fun-to-learn music stimulates long-term persistence in playing the violin—or viola, cello, or bass.

Program to be announced from the stage

Guest artist sponsors: Dr. and Mrs. Stuart Jacobs | Mercedes-Benz of Stockton/ Earl Taylor, M.D., and Ms. Etoile Holmes | Stockton Symphony Alliance




POPS•3

Michael Grandinetti, illusionistMichael Grandinetti is not your ordinary magician. Named by Entertainment Weekly as “a great magician who can truly communicate with a TV audience,” he was also deemed “a fan favorite with charisma and an easy rapport with an audience” by Hidden

Remote and touted by Digital Journal as “one of magic’s best loved magicians, the one to watch.” With performances on national and international television, in stadiums, arenas, casinos, and theaters around the country, Mr. Grandinetti has performed with Oscar-winning composers and symphony orchestras, for NFL and NBA halftime shows and major sporting events, in large-scale parades, and even at the White House.

Over the past twenty years, Mr. Grandinetti has been driven to make magic contemporary and to give it a wide, mainstream appeal. He has had starring roles on NBC’s The World’s Most Dangerous Magic II, the CW worldwide-hit series Masters of Illusion, and POP’s Don’t Blink. His magic has also been featured on the Emmy-nominated series Bones, the Today show, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, The Hollywood Christmas Parade, The Bold and the Beautiful, SportsCenter, NBA on TNT, and Fox & Friends.

Mr. Grandinetti has appeared on radio shows across the country and in media including Parade magazine, Entertainment Weekly, AXS.com, Hidden Remote, Starpulse, the Huffington Post, MAGIC Magazine, Young Hollywood, Pittsburgh Magazine, the Beverly Hills Times Magazine, Go! magazine, DC Life Magazine, Tucson Living, and multiple times on The Marilu Henner Radio Show. He was recently featured on CNBC’s Make It, a series about people who have achieved success in challenging industries, as well as

on the cover of TV Times magazine, released nationally in newspapers across the U.S.

Combining the worlds of magic and music, Mr. Grandinetti has created special performances and appeared as a featured guest artist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra, the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. During these shows, while the orchestras played musical selections specially themed for each illusion, he magically transformed a tuxedo into the orchestra’s conductor, made roses bloom on the stage, levitated into the air while surrounded by the playing orchestra, and,forafinale,causedtheorchestraitselfto read the minds of the audience by playing pieces of music they were only thinking of.

Passionate about amazing live audiences, Mr. Grandinetti has performed at a wide range of venues including Heinz Hall with Oscar-winning producer and composer Marvin Hamlisch and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, A.J. Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh, Harrah’s Resorts in Atlantic City and San Diego, Gallo Center for the Arts and Gold Country Casino in Northern California, United Center in Chicago, Oracle Arena in Oakland, Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, Casino Rama in Ontario, Grand Central Station in New York City, and the Four Seasons Resort in Lanai, Hawaii. He has also performed on the red carpet of ESPN’s ESPY Awards at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood and at the White House Easter Celebration.

Mr.Grandinettiwashonoredtobethefirstillusionist ever invited to perform in the National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C, during which he levitated a girl high above one ofthefloatsasitmoveddownConstitutionAvenue while an audience of 250,000 people lined the streets. In addition, he was recently one of the headlining performers in Masters of Magic, which ran nightly for two months at

Guest Artists


the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno. Presented on the world’s largest indoor stage, a full acre in size, he caused a 500-pound motorcycle to appear in midair, levitated it ten feet into the air under bright lights at the front of the stage, created interactive magic with everyone in the theater at the same time, and melted his body through the center of a seven-foot wall of solid, examined steel.

Michael Grandinetti has come a long way sincehereceivedhisfirstmagicsetforChristmasandperformedhisfirstshowattheageoffive.Heismakingtheartofmagic modern, innovative, charismatic, and exciting, while showing audiences around the world that nothing is impossible.
