Sonoma State Taps Bartalini

Rick Bartalini is booking more shows in California’s wine country with his new gig as Artistic and Operational Consultant at Sonoma State University’s new Green Music Center in Rohnert Park.

Sonoma State University president Ruben Arminana, Rick Bartalini, Josh Groban and Laurence Furukawa-Schlereth, executive director of Weill Hall at Sonoma State University's Green Music Center.

After a hugely successful opening with Josh Groban, Bartalini told Pollstar he’ll bring more popular music shows to the venue in conjunction with the university’s On Campus Presents, which promotes concerts, lectures, films, comedy and other events.

As chief of Rick Bartalini Presents, he recently scored a major coup with Diana Ross at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Theatre and presented Lyle Lovett at the Marin Civic Center.
