SUMMARY:It’s Our Time
DESCRIPTION:In its inaugural concert\, the Portland Sage Singers presents an evening of music and stories extolling the simple\, and not so simple\, joys of elderhood. The concert opens with Stephen Sondheim’s powerful anthem\, “Our Time” from Merrily We Roll Along. From there\, the chorus of singers aged 55 and above\, whisks the audience on a journey of shared emotions as varied as the music that ranges from J.S. Bach to Whitney Houston. \nIf laughter is the best medicine\, there will be lots of medicine including a new commissioned piece from Los Angeles composer Dave Volpe. The piece titled “Organ Recital\,” shares the maladies reserved for folks of a certain age. “Senior Psalm” by composer Daniel Gawthrop will also have its world premiere. \nSongs of empowerment include Iconic singer/songwriter Holly Near’s powerful “I Ain’t Afraid” and Labi Siffre’s “Something Inside So Strong.” \nThe chorus sings about coming out about our love in the stunning love song\, “Secret Love” from Calamity Jane and the stunning “in Whatever Time We Have” from Stephen Schwartz’ Children of Eden. The evening ends proudly proclaiming “We Are Survivors” in a rousing finale by Broadway composer Andrew Lippa from Unbreakable. There will be many surprises along the way. The message from Portland Sage Singers is clear. It’s not just “Our Time\,” but high time Portland had a chorus consisting of Q+ Elders and Allies. It will be an auspicious debut. \n80 minutes\, no intermission.\nArtistic Director Dr. Timothy Seelig

SUMMARY:Samara Joy
DESCRIPTION:A native of the Bronx\, Samara Joy became entranced by classic R&B as a child and cut her teeth as a singer in her church’s gospel choir. And while her family history is deeply musical—her grandparents helmed the Philadelphia gospel group the Savettes\, and her father\, the musician and songwriter Antonio McLendon\, has produced\, composed and arranged his own astounding original work—she didn’t delve into the jazz tradition until college at SUNY Purchase. During her studies there she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition\, which introduced her to the larger jazz scene as a rising star to watch. She was heard\, by audiences and critics alike\, as a masterful interpreter of jazz standards and a rightful heiress of the sound\, technique and charisma that defined her jazz heroines—including Vaughan\, Betty Carter\, Abbey Lincoln and Carmen McRae. \nJoy released her self-titled debut on the Whirlwind label in 2021\, followed a year later by Linger Awhile\, her breakout Verve debut\, of which Down Beat said\, “With this beautiful recording\, a silky-voiced star is born.” The album earned her a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album in addition to a headline-making win for Best New Artist. A deluxe edition of the album was released\, as well as the EP A Joyful Holiday\, which took home Grammys for Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best Jazz Performance in 2025. Her new Verve album\, Portrait\, which Joy co-produced with the veteran trumpeter/bandleader and multi-Grammy winner Brian Lynch\, showcases the intimate\, soulful chemistry she’s developed with her touring band\, already earning her an NAACP Image Award this year for Best Jazz Album. Portrait also spotlights her burgeoning gifts as a lyricist\, in ingenious arrangements that meld her thoughtful words with music by Charles Mingus\, Sun Ra and her late mentor Barry Harris. \nSponsored by Tim & Mary Boyle \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Lineage: Sound and Fury
DESCRIPTION:ONN launches the season with a vibrant exploration of musical wit and transformation across time. Portland’s own Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw opens the program with Entr’acte\, a work inspired by the elegant and surprising turns of Haydn’s string quartets. Next\, Anna Clyne’s Sound and Fury draws from the same Haydn source and Shakespeare’s Macbeth\, weaving together visceral energy and literary allusions in a thrilling orchestral experience. At the center is Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 60\, Il Distratto—a work originally written for the stage\, brimming with invention\, charm\, and comedic brilliance. This imaginative program forms a rich dialogue between past and present\, showcasing how composers reimagine the concert experience through daring and wit.
