SUMMARY:An Enchanting Evening of Indian Classical Dance - Horizons  ...Myriad Hues in Kathak

It will be evident in’ Horizons’. As members of S.I.S.K. Dance Ensemble\, Shambhavi ji’s disciples have traveled and performed all over America\, San Diego\, San Francisco\, Atlanta\, Phoenix AZ\, Fort Wayne IN\, to name a few. They represent the younger generation of dedicated dancers in the USA. They bring out the playful and youthful essence of Kathak through their performances based on traditional forms like Thumri and Ashtapadi as well as a few choreographies with a dash of contemporary context. Kathak performed with live music has become a rarity now-a-days. In this performance\, highly acclaimed young musicians from the USA will accompany Shambhavi ji. It will surely give the viewers an experience of the classical arts flowing from one generation to the next\, for centuries together. \nRuntime: 120 min. No intermission.

SUMMARY:Osvaldo Golijov: Falling Out of Time
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Northwest premiere of a deeply moving new work by Osvaldo Golijov. This special concert presents Argentinian American composer Osvaldo Golijov’s Falling Out of Time\, composed for a multicultural\, multi-stylistic instrumental ensemble\, and presented in a semi-staged performance. \nBased on the eponymous book by Israeli author David Grossman\, Falling Out of Time is a gripping song cycle that explores parents’ sorrow as they mourn the loss of a child. Golijov’s eclectic music draws on Delta blues and Central Asian ballads to tell a tale of grief and a journey to acceptance. Commissioned by Silkroad and featuring members of the wide-ranging Silkroad Ensemble\, the evocative score weaves a tapestry of sound that draws on Chinese\, European\, and Middle Eastern musical traditions—and includes contemporary synthesizer and electric guitar. \nOsvaldo Golijov\nFalling Out of Time A Tone Poem in Voices \nText adapted by Osvaldo Golijov from the novel by David Grossman\nTranslation from Hebrew by Jessica Cohen \nDan Brantigan\, Trumpet\, Flugelhorn\nHannah Collins\, Cello\nShawn Conley\, Acoustic bass\, Electric Fretless Bass\nBiella da Costa\, vocals\nNora Fischer\, vocals\nJeremy Flower\, Electric Guitar\, Modular Synthesizer\nJohnny Gandelsman\, Violin\nMario Gotoh\, Viola\nShane Shanahan\, Percussion\, Drum Set\nMazz Swift\, Violin\nReylon Yount\, Yangqin \nOsvaldo Golijov: Falling Out of Time recently premiered at Carnegie Hall to critical acclaim. \n80 min performance with no intermission. \nThere will be a 30 min talk back after the performance. \nSponsored by Ronni Lacroute. \n \n  \nAll Classical Portland: Interview With Composer Osvaldo Golijov \nJoin host Suzanne Nance on Tuesday\, October 25\, 2022\, at 6:00 PM PT to hear her special interview with Argentinian-American composer Osvaldo Golijov\, violinist Johnny Gandelsman\, and the Reser’s Executive Director Chris Ayzoukian.

SUMMARY:Behind the Scenes of History: An Evening with David Hume Kennerly
DESCRIPTION:Join Oregon History Maker and Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer David Hume Kennerly on a magical mystery tour through some of the major events of the past fifty-plus years as seen through his eyes and camera.

This talk will transport you to the room where President Ford ended the Vietnam War\, Egyptian President Sadat’s historic trip to Israel\, the horrors of Jonestown\, Reagan and Gorbachev’s Fireside Summit in Geneva\, the governor’s mansion with George W. Bush as the 2000 election ended in a tie\, an elevator with President and Mrs. Obama on inaugural night\, and with Trump the night he won the presidential election in 2016.

The 1972 award for Feature Photography recognized his work from the previous year\, and included images of the Vietnam and Cambodia wars\, refugees escaping from East Pakistan into India\, and the Ali v. Frazier “Fight of the Century” World Heavyweight Championship at Madison Square Garden. Two years later\, Kennerly was appointed President Gerald R. Ford’s Personal White House Photographer. \nKennerly’s photos have appeared on more than fifty major magazine covers\, and he has documented history in more than a hundred countries. He has photographed eleven U.S. presidents\, covered thirteen presidential campaigns\, served as a contributing editor for Newsweek magazine for ten years\, and was a contributing photographer for Time & Life magazines. American Photo Magazine named Kennerly “One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography.” \nIn 2019\, The University of Arizona Center for Creative Photography acquired the David Hume Kennerly Archive. It features almost one million images\, prints\, objects\, memorabilia\, correspondence\, and documents dating back to 1957. His work joins that of Ansel Adams\, Edward Weston\, Richard Avedon\, W. Eugene Smith\, and scores of other legendary photographers. The Oregon Historical Society honored Kennerly as a History Maker in 2016\, an award presented annually to contemporary individuals and organizations that are positively shaping the history\, culture\, and landscape of Oregon. In 2018\, University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins appointed Kennerly the university’s first Presidential Scholar. \n$36 / $26 for OHS members \nThis performance is 90 min with no intermission.

SUMMARY:Michael Kaeshammer
DESCRIPTION:Michael Kaeshammer has invested a lot – countless hours at the keyboard\, hundreds of recordings\, thousands of live performances\, millions of miles in the air and on the road – all in pursuit of a mastery of 12 notes across 88 keys. But for the acclaimed Canadian pianist and singer\, there is no set destination\, no achievable end point on his path; it’s all about the journey itself\, and that journey will always be ongoing. \nOver the course of decades as a professional performer\, Kaeshammer has developed a signature blend of classical\, jazz\, blues\, and boogie-woogie with effortless pop hooks for a compelling crossover style that’s immediately engaging yet impressively substantial. \n“When I play\, I don’t worry about if it’s jazz or pop or classical or whatever; I just play what I hear and let the music decide what it wants to be\,” begins Kaeshammer. “Sure\, there are different styles\, different eras\, different approaches\, but when you really look at it\, it’s all just music based on 12 notes.” \nBorn and raised in Germany\, Kaeshammer began performing club\, theatre\, and festival stages throughout Europe in his early teens and continued on that trajectory after emigrating to Canada’s West Coast with his family in the mid-‘90s. His first studio album\, Blue Keys\, dropped in 1996 and spurred a consistent sequence of heralded releases and high-profile international performances. Through it all\, the world watched as he grew from child prodigy to full-fledged phenom; from unparalleled pianist to virtuosic singer-songwriter. \nMichael’s many experiences have helped to hone his skills as a vocalist and lyricist to the point that Kaeshammer is now pushing firmly into the realm of pop crossover as exemplified with his latest collection\, Turn It Up. Expected in the Spring of 2023\, the 10-track collection finds Kaeshammer building on his mastery of the keyboard with deft and dynamic tinges of modern pop. The result is simultaneously his most ambitious and accessible offering to date\, its songs and stories both instantly engaging yet deserving of a deep\, disarming dive. \nFans will soon get to enjoy more fruits from that harvest as Kaeshammer returns to the road with a string of highly anticipated performances across Canada and the U.S. to close out 2022\, followed by a tour of Germany in the spring of 2023. \nTurn It Up seems like a particularly fitting label for this exciting new stage in an already-illustrious career; however\, despite all the achievements and accolades – the JUNO Awards\, the shows on iconic stages with international stars and symphony orchestras\, the strings of stellar reviews from major media outlets – Michael Kaeshammer doesn’t rest on his laurels; these are merely temporary stops on his journey\, and as always\, he’s solely focused on reaching the next one\, and then the one after that. \nMICHAEL KAESHAMMER – American Public Television (Trailer 2020) \n \n“Stop That Train”

SUMMARY:Classical Comedy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Amadeus Chamber Orchestra presents its first Classical Comedy Hour\, a hilarious collection of classical-themed skits and acts. Think SNL meets Victor Borge\, Jack Benny and PDQ Bach. From a string quartet desperately seeking violist to the colossal\, ultra-conductor Maestro Massimo\, you’ll be laughing hysterically\, all while feeling refined and cultured. This comedy hour will bring you closer to many of your favorite classical musicians from around Portland that are\, by coincidence\, really really funny! \nThe Amadeus Chamber Orchestra was founded by Adam LaMotte in 2018. It presents intimate but powerful performances. As a conductor-less chamber orchestra\, its strength lies in its flexibility\, and the reliance on the cumulative strength of all the musicians\, not just one musician calling the shots. Call it chamber music on steroids.

SUMMARY:Amythyst Kiah
DESCRIPTION:“One of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.”— Rolling Stone \n“She really is important in reminding people that there is a great tradition of African-American\, old-time musicians. I love that she sings in this really rich low vocal range\, just straight from the chest\, resonant.” — NPR \n“Her razor-sharp guitar picking alone guarantees her a place among masters\, but it’s her deep-hued voice that can change on a dime from brushed steel to melted toffee that commands attention.” — The New York Times \nAmythyst Kiah recently released her latest EP Pensive Pop (Rounder Records). With Pensive Pop\, Amythyst further illuminates how her artistic prowess cannot be defined in a single style. This 4-track release – which features her renditions of Tori Amos’ standard “Sugar\,” Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart\,” and Green Day’s “Hitchin’ A Ride” – highlights the iconoclastic alt-rock and hard-hitting\, diary-like songwriting that first sparked her artistic passion and shaped her musical palate. \nOn the EP\, Amythyst adds: “The songs on Pensive Pop were chosen before the title\, before any real concept came to light. Quite simply\, I chose songs that I love and wanted to see if I could keep their integrity while also matching a sound that’s authentic to me. I enjoy games and this process was like a puzzle. The common themes throughout this record address the lamenting external factors that can impede us on our journey in life and the struggle to accept and work through those challenges. Fear is at the center of all of these songs: fear of rejection\, fear of change\, fear of sobriety\, fear of living in the present. Pensive Pop is my reinterpretation of pop/rock songs in order to bring more attention to the stories being told.” \nThe tracks of Pensive Pop and of her 2021 Rounder Records debut Wary + Strange – which was lauded by The New York Times\, NPR Morning Edition\, Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone and more – are just a selection of her setlist for her U.S. and European tours this Summer and throughout the rest of the year. Kiah – who was recently named one of CMT’s Next Women of Country – just recently capped a run of shows with The Who and will be headed out on the road with CAM this year. \nKiah – a Grammy-nominated songwriter – was recently featured in Amazon Music’s For Love & Country documentary and one of the faces of Gibson’s Sister Rosetta Tharpe & Generation Acoustic campaigns. \nThe Rounder Records debut from Amythyst Kiah\, Wary + Strange marks the glorious collision of two vastly different worlds: the iconoclastic alt-rock that first sparked her musical passion\, and the roots/old-time-music scene where she’s found breakout success in recent years\, including recognition from Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.” Along with tapping into the vibrant musicality she honed in part through her studies in East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass\, Old Time\, Country Music program\, the Chattanooga-bred singer/songwriter expands on the uncompromising artistry she’s displayed as a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose Kiah-penned standout “Black Myself” earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance International Awards. \nProduced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers\, Amos Lee\, Andrew Bird) and made with esteemed musicians like Blake Mills\, Wary + Strange arrives as a deeply immersive body of work\, endlessly redefining the limits of roots music in its inventive rhythms and textures. With an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled\, Kiah gracefully interlaces political commentary and personal revelation\, ultimately offering a raw yet nuanced examination of grief\, alienation\, and the hard-won triumph of total self-acceptance. \nSponsored by TriMet. \n

SUMMARY:DakhaBrakha + THE FILM “EARTH"
DESCRIPTION:DakhaBrakha performing a live score to the silent film\, Earth by Alexander Dovzhenko. \nReturning to The Reser after an unforgettable concert in April\, DakhaBraka hails from Kyiv\, the now devastatingly war-torn capital city of Ukraine. With their multicultural traditional instrumentation\, theatrical costuming\, and the quartet’s astonishingly powerful vocal range\, they create a transnational sound rooted in Ukrainian soil. They have built enormous critical acclaim and a large global fanbase. \nThis time DakhaBrakha provides the live musical score to a screening of the legendary 1930 Ukrainian silent film masterpiece\, “Earth.” Directed by Alexander Dovzhenko\, “Earth” is considered to be one of the most important films of the Soviet era. Dovzhenko is a master of composition\, and the film—with its intense close-ups and the impressive expanses of the landscape—is a passionate tribute to the countryside\, to nature\, and to the people that work on it. \n“Earth” was banned 9 days after it’s original release\, and was glorified in Ukraine only after Dovzhenko’s death in 1956. Full of lyrical pantheism and utopian exaltation\, it demonstrated the ambiguity of Ukrainian geopolitical choice in the 1920s. In 1958\, a film critics’ forum in Brussels named “Earth” one of the 12 best films in the history of world cinema. \n“Earth” captures a moment in time when traditional rural life in Ukraine was about to undergo massive upheaval as a result of overwhelming political forces. It was named one of the top 10 greatest films of all time by the International Film Critics Symposium. The Village Voice’s esteemed critic J. Hoberman has proclaimed\, “The astonishingly beautiful Earth is unlike anything else in movies” and Leonard Maltin called it “a lyrical\, deservedly famous classic.” It has been championed as one of the most important and controversial of the Soviet era\, with its intense close-ups and the impressive expanses of the landscape-a passionate tribute to the countryside\, to nature\, and to the people that work on it. As the group’s vocalist Marko Halanevych describes\, DakhaBrakha’s aim is to “create music with an ethnic message that makes the motion picture seem even more authentic and Ukrainian.” \nThe group had this to say about the creation of their soundtrack for “Earth”: \n“Making music for Alexander Dovzhenko’s “Earth” was a great honor for us and a difficult creative challenge. Frame by frame\, this Ukrainian masterpiece of world cinema impressed us every time we worked on it. No matter how we tried to work on the film as a self-contained artistic endeavor\, avoiding ideological evaluation\, we could not. Of course\, we voiced the film in the human terms of the 21st Century\, even while being aware that after 1930\, when the work was completed on “Earth”\, came the years of the Communist famine of 1932-1933\, the years of repression\, and we know about the difficult fate of the Dovzhenko socialist empire. Together\, we tried to convey the authenticity\, and also the naivety\, of those feelings and messages brought to us from that time and that era\, to us today and our Earth.” \nBUY TICKETS HERE \n

SUMMARY:DakhaBrakha
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from Kyiv\, Ukraine\, DakhaBrakha reflects the fundamental elements of sound\, soul\, and “ethno-chaos” to create a world of unexpected new music. Accompanied by Indian\, Arabic\, African\, Russian\, and Australian traditional instrumentation\, this quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a transnational sound rooted in Ukrainian culture and ethos. \n“The group mixes everything from punk-pop to traditional Ukrainian songs in cool yet beguiling textures\, often with the close harmonies usually associated with Balkan music. But it’s really the live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere curiosity to utter brilliance.” — NPR \nThe name DakhaBrakha means “give/take” in Ukrainian\, and reflects their resilience and philosophy. Having experimented with Ukrainian folk music\, the band added rhythms of the surrounding world into their music to create their own unique and original style. \nFirmly rooted at the crossroads of Ukrainian folklore and theater\, DakhaBrakha’s musical spectrum is both intimate and riotous\, plumbing the depths of traditional and contemporary roots and rhythms\, and inspiring “cultural and artistic liberation.” DakhaBrakha is a musical gift both unforgettable and rare.

SUMMARY:HIROMI : THE PIANO QUINTET ft. PUBLIQuartet
DESCRIPTION:PDX Jazz 2022 Fall Season \nEver since her debut release\, Another Mind\, Hiromi has electrified audiences with a creative energy that encompasses and eclipses the boundaries of jazz\, classical and pop\, taking improvisation and composition to new heights of complexity and sophistication. \nOn her new album\, Silver Lining Suite\, Hiromi further exemplifies her virtuosic hybridity and emotional range\, finding strength and hope amidst the turmoil of the pandemic. \nBorn in Hamamatsu\, Japan in 1979\, Hiromi’s first piano teacher\, Noriko Hikida\, exposed Hiromi to jazz and introduced her to the great pianists Erroll Garner and Oscar Peterson. She enrolled in the Yamaha School of Music and started writing music. \nHiromi moved to the United States in 1999 and studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Among her mentors was jazz bassist/arranger Richard Evans\, who took Hiromi’s demo to his friend\, the legendary pianist Ahmad Jamal. Evans co-produced Another Mind with Jamal. \nAnother Mind was a critical success in North America and Japan\, where the album shipped gold and received the Recording Industry Association of Japan’s Jazz Album of the Year Award. Hiromi’s astonishing debut was but a forecast of the shape of jazz to come. \nIn 2009\, she recorded with pianist Chick Corea on Duet\,a live recording of their concert in Tokyo. She also appeared on bassist Stanley Clarke’s Grammy-winning release\, Jazz in the Garden. \nIn the summer of 2021\, Hiromi performed at the opening ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics. \n
