Bridgétt Blogs About Bonnie

noreply@blogger.com (mcblogadmin) — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:03:29 PDT

I always like to share my experiences with others, and I believe that listening to live music can be a great bonding activity. As such, I invited my co-worker Kealah Reyes to attend the recent Bonnie Raitt concert with me. We were both already excited about the performance, but when we realized the incredible Mavis Staples was playing as well, the concert became twice as tantalizing!

For me, Bonnie Raitt’s concert was like a “rite of passage.” Thanks to my parents, I always heard her songs as I grew up, but the meanings behind the lyrics didn’t fully register with me until her live performance. Raitt’s songs are bluntly honest as was her quite amusing banter with the audience between songs. As the lyrics of love, hope and struggle flowed into my ears, the experience made the hair on my arms stand up. My arms remained that way throughout the entire concert, and I probably looked like a fuzzy yet oh so happy member of the audience.

By the time the concert was done, both Kealah and I were happily exhausted from sedentary exercise. The commanding vocals and accompanying instrumentals caused us to snap, clap and tap for three marvelous hours! This was certainly as great of an experience as I had hoped, and I’m so energized for the next outstanding event here at the Mondavi Center!

--Bridgétt Rangel-Rexford, Mondavi Center Social Media Storyteller

Introducing the new Mondavi Center Storyteller

noreply@blogger.com (mcblogadmin) — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:06:18 PDT

Following an intense 11 day competition among our five Golden Ticket Social Media Contest finalists on the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts Facebook Page, Bridgétt Rangel-Rexford was chosen by popular vote to be our social media storyteller for the 10th anniversary season. Here is a little about Bridgétt:

After receiving her degree in art history, Bridgétt arrived in Davis last year with her husband who is attending graduate school at UC Davis. She serves as a visual merchandiser for a local Davis boutique, and her hobbies include ballet folklorico, violin, and creating mosaic glass pieces. She loves to surround herself with all forms of art, and what she especially enjoys is the art of documentation. As editor of Sacramento Fashion Week and creator of her “art” blog "The Sun Queen" Bridgett is always excited to find and document new and creative people, ideas and projects. Some of her past favorite past subjects include galleries, fashion designers and musicians. Whether by taking photos or recording interviews,Bridgétt finds that candid documentation provides the best insights of her subjects. As Mondavi Center’s 10th Anniversary Social Media storyteller, she hopes to capture and share her “impressions” of the performers through her words, just as Mary Cassat’s impressionist paintings captured moments at the opera.

You might even say she is a modern Renaissance woman.
