String fever

Get a nice dose of classical music next weekend when violin virtuoso Rachel Barton Pine comes to town for a pair of shows. At 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, she'll perform with the Sacramento Philharmonic in a concert titled Violin Magic, featuring works by John Williams, Glazunov and Dvorak. Show up at 7 p.m. for a preconcert talk that aims to “take audiences deeper into the music,” according to the Philharmonic's website. Then, at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 6, Pine will perform works by Vivaldi, Bach and Milandre with the Davis Senior High School Baroque Ensemble. All the proceeds from this fundraiser will help send the ensemble on a concert tour in Italy this June.
