Ten percent of all proceeds from the concerts will benefit the Soper-Reese Community Theater Fund which is in the process of converting the old single-screen movie theater in Lakeport into a state-of-the-art performing arts center.

As with the first, highly successful Tallman concert season in 2007, the series will bring some of Northern California’s finest musical talent to this delightful and intimate Lake County venue.

Guests will enjoy a champagne reception with the musicians in the parlor of the hotel beginning at 5:30 p.m. followed by a three course dinner featuring Lake County wines.

This will be followed by an informal concert and dialogue with the musicians beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the charming Riffe’s Meeting House next door to the Hotel.

Ever popular in Lake County and beyond, the Lakeside Chamber Players will again conclude the Tallman Concert Series on May 15.

The incomparable cellist and composer Clovice Lewis will be joined by flutist Catharine Hall and pianist Carolyn Hawley. The group will perform a variety of classical chamber pieces plus original compositions that Clovice calls “Jazzical,” a name that well sums up the blend of styles that makes his music so unique.

The cost for individual concerts with dinner is $80, or $350 for the entire series. Tickets for the concerts only can be obtained for $35. The Hotel also has a special package of hotel room plus two concert and dinner tickets for $275.
