SUMMARY:Calexico
DESCRIPTION:Founded in Tucson\, Arizona\, by guitarist/singer Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino\, the band first emerged to widespread acclaim in the mid-1990s with a string of arresting\, evocative records that blurred the lines between their roots\, rock\, and Latin influences. The Washington Post hailed the band’s live show as “near-flawless\,” while The Chicago Tribune lauded the “vibrant” energy and “compelling conviction” of their performances\, and WNYC marveled at the group’s ability to both “roar like Sonic Youth [and] whisper like Elliott Smith” onstage. \nSponsored by Bank of America

SUMMARY:Sleeping Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Sleeping Beauty is a beautiful ballet about the power of love\, dreams\, and exploration\, which has been delighting audiences on the world’s stages for more than 100 years. The three-act ballet extravaganza is based on Charles Perrault’s fairy tale of the same name. \nAll of the finest elements were thought of in this production down to the smallest detail\, from the general atmosphere of the French court of King Louis XIV to the enchanting music and exquisite classical choreography. The ballet is full of a variety of dances\, variations of soloists\, sensual duets\, and spectacular scenes with the corps de ballet. A special treat is given by the amazing\, colorful dances of the fairies: The Lilac Fairy and fairies of Tenderness\, Liveliness\, Generosity\, Courage\, and Serenity\, who\, according to the storyline\, endow the newborn girl with their gifts. This performance became a serious event in the history of musical and choreographic art in the end of the 19th century. Since then\, the classical ballet has been a treasure in the repertoire of almost all major theaters of the world. \n

DESCRIPTION:FREE & Open to the public with a reserved ticket.

Through projected maps\, life-size ink drawings\, and live performances\, Haque invites viewers to experience the spaces between inclusion and exclusion.

The talk will be moderated by Subashini Ganesan-Forbes\, performer in the video installation (Un) Belonging. \nIsami Ching (he/him) will discuss a brief history of papermaking and its inspiration for his sculptural paper works.

He has been a member of Ditch Projects in Springfield OR\, since 2011. \nHe received an MFA in sculpture from Columbia University in 2002\, and a BFA in Fine Arts 3-D from Massachusetts College of Art in 1998.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk & Demo: Helen Liu
DESCRIPTION:Helen Liu (she/her) will speak about her large new works on paper in Chinese ink and homegrown indigo. She will also talk about the growing and harvesting of Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria) and the pigment extraction process. Attendees will get to enjoy seeds that Liu will share with gardeners interested in growing their own indigo! \nFREE & Open to the public with a reserved ticket. This event takes place in The Lab. \nLearn more about Infinite Possibilities. \nImage: detail of Deconstructed Calligraphy by Helen Liu \nHelen Liu Bio: \nHelen Liu (she/her) was born in Taiwan and raised on a chicken farm in the southern part of the island. Since leaving the country in the early 70’s with her parents\, she lived in Jakarta and Bangkok and eventually came to study at the University of Oregon. After receiving her BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in painting and graphic design\, Helen worked in advertising firms in Portland and Eugene. Later\, after her daughter was born\, she worked from home and began to explore her own art. \nOver time\, Helen Hui-Ling Liu\, the immigrant from Taiwan\, became a naturalized citizen of the United States\, a world citizen\, a gardener\, and a strong advocate for composting. She grew increasingly concerned about the state the environment. In 2014 American Luminosity was the first large-scale work using her own household plastic waste and non-recyclable bags from local coSee shops. Several large works followed with the biggest one measuring 40ft x 12ft. Plastic Waste to Art Quilt (2021) was funded in part by the Springfield Arts Commission and displayed at the Academy of Arts and Academics in downtown Springfield during Earth Day week. \nTrips to Japan in 2019-2020 opened Helen’s eyes to natural indigo and the long Japanese tradition of working with this blue dye. Beginning in 2021\, she started growing Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria)\, learning how to harvest and extract the pigment. She feels humbled by this magical plant and the ancient peoples around the world who worked with it\, weaving and making textiles that survived the millennia. Helen’s art practice was changed by Persicaria tinctoria and the wondrous color that it yields. Today\, she continues to grow this beautiful ancient plant\, producing a wondrous blue pigment that she uses in her art.

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:Summer Sings: A Community Sing of Brahms' German Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Join the Portland Symphonic Choir for an immersive audience participation concert experience as part of Summer Sings at The Reser. Whether you’re new to singing or an experienced chorister\, Summer Sings invites you to pick up a score and sing from your seat\, surrounded by members of the Portland Symphonic Choir.  If you prefer to listen\, we’d love to have you come\, listen\, and learn! \nThe first of three Summer Sings this Summer\, this series brings Portland-metro area people together in multigenerational\, participatory performances that uplift local conductors\, soloists and community singers. These sing-alongs broaden the reach and relevance of choral music in our region\, providing a collective exploration of great choral music together. \nThis Sunday\, July 20th\, we mark a special milestone — 20 years to the day since the very first Summer Sings in 2005\, which also featured Brahms’ German Requiem. This year\, we return to that work\, led by Artistic Director Dr. Alissa Deeter and guest conductor Dr. Katherine FitzGibbon. \nJoin us in a celebration of 20 years of Summer Sings at the start of PSC’s 80th year. Pick up a score (scores provided)\, lift your voice\, and become part of the music! \nFor further assistance\, please contact the box office at 971-501-7722 – Wednesday-Saturday from noon until 6 PM.
