Raven Performing Arts Theater

Free admission, but ticket required. 
Maximum 4 per person.
With a diverse repertoire and exceptional talent, the&nbsp;Commanders Jazz Ensemble&nbsp;offers far more than traditional big band music. While they honor legends like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Glenn Miller, they seamlessly transition into cool jazz, bebop, Latin rhythms, Broadway hits, and patriotic music.
The ensemble is part of the&nbsp;United States Air Force Band of the Golden West, stationed in the San Francisco Bay Area at Travis Air Force Base, California. The only active duty Air Force band west of the Rockies, the Band of the Golden West is comprised of about 60 talented and versatile Airmen-musicians under the command of Captain Brian O’Donnell. In addition to performing for civilian communities throughout the states of California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada, the band supports 13 Air Force Bases, 8 Air Force Reserve Wings, and 6 recruiting squadrons in over 250 annual performances for 1.5 million listeners.
The organization offers several outstanding performing groups: Concert Band, Ceremonial Marching Band, Commanders Jazz Ensemble, Mobility popular music ensemble, Travis Brass quintet, Golden West Brass ensemble, Golden West Winds woodwind quintet, Sierra Winds woodwind ensemble, Clarinet Quartet, and Galaxy popular music ensemble. Additionally, the Band of the Golden West provides solo vocalists for the performance of our National Anthem and solo buglers for Taps details.
The Band of the Golden West has performed for gubernatorial inaugurations, with guest artists such as Marvin Stamm, Arturo Sandoval and Bob Hope, and for the fans of Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, and Infineon NASCAR races. In the last ten years the band has led off three Tournament of Roses parades in Pasadena, CA. In 2004, the USAF Band of the Golden West was honored to support the interment ceremony of President Ronald Reagan in Simi Valley, CA, an event, viewed by a global TV audience of over 400 million. More recent events include featured performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and Pentatonix.

Set in the heart of California wine country, the highly anticipated Healdsburg International Short Film Festival (HISFF) returns this September for its 5th&nbsp;year, promising another weekend of unforgettable cinema, parties, and a red carpet opening night. This three-day festival runs from September 25th&nbsp;through September 27th. Organized in collaboration with the&nbsp;Healdsburg Center for the Arts (HCA), HISFF 2026 coincides with HCA’s&nbsp;<a href="https://healdsburgcenterforthearts.org/festival-of-the-arts/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Festival of the Arts</a>,&nbsp;creating a vibrant, art-filled weekend.
HISFF 2026 kicks off with an Opening Night Soirée, a lively red-carpet&nbsp;arrival and photo op at the Raven, and an exquisite collection of mixed genre short films. Festivities continue with multiple screening sessions, a Saturday night party at&nbsp;The Rooftop at the Harmon Guest House, and a filmmaker breakfast, culminating in an awards ceremony on Sunday night.
Our panel of notable judges from the entertainment industry makes the HISFF an attraction for new and veteran filmmakers alike — people like&nbsp;Ed Begley, Jr., Laraine Newman, Billy Ray, Tom Waits, and so many more. Several judges are attending the festival this year, including writer Billy Ray (The Hunger Games&nbsp;and the soon-to-be released&nbsp;The Hunger Games: Sunrise On the Reaping&nbsp;), who will make a book-signing appearance at the Raven on Saturday, September 26th (Time TBD).

Art has been a lifelong passion for Roney.Beginning her art studies at a young age, whatever avenue she was pursuing in life, she continued her artistic endeavors.After a successful career in microbiology and pharmaceutical research, a family move to Northern California enabled Roney to focus on her art.She received her MFA from Academy of Art University, San Francisco.
