SUMMARY:Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas recreates the joy and innocence of a night before Christmas in a remote farmhouse in the parish of Teampall an Ghleanntáin in the west of Ireland – when the neighboring families gather around the fire to grace the wintry night with the haunting melodies of traditional Irish Christmas carols\, to raise the rafters with the joy of their music and to knock sparks off the flagstone floor with traditional dances\, and to fill the night with the laughter of their stories.

To date\, the choir has raised $407\,533 for worthy causes. ISing performs the finest that choral music has to offer and increases public awareness of non-profits that are making a positive impact in our community. \nThese concerts are made possible by grants from the Beaverton City Arts Program\, the Cultural Coalition of Washington County\, and the Oregon Cultural Trust.

SUMMARY:The Klezmatics
DESCRIPTION:The Klezmatics are globally renowned world music superstars — and the only klezmer band to win a Grammy Award. The Klezmatics emerged out of the vibrant cultural scene of New York City’s East Village in 1986\, with klezmer steeped in Eastern European Jewish tradition and spirituality\, while incorporating contemporary themes such as human rights and eclectic musical influences including Arab\, African\, Latin and Balkan rhythms\, jazz and punk. In the course of over twenty years and nine albums\, they have continued making music that is wild\, mystical\, provocative\, reflective and ecstatically danceable. \n“a complete joy” —All Music Guide \nPerforming songs from Woody Guthrie’s Happy Joyous Hanukkah. \nWoody Guthrie lived in Coney Island\, Brooklyn\, across the street from his mother-in-law\, the Yiddish poet\, Aliza Greenblatt. They shared their dreams and their art\, their neighborhood and a family. \nKlezmatics trumpeter Frank London says\, “each of us found our own way to confront Woody’s poetry. The words are all his\, but the diversity of musical styles is quintessentially Klezmatic.” London says that some songs lent themselves to overtly Jewish klezmer music\, others to more American forms\, like classic dust-bowl country tunes. Some felt brand new to the musicians\, while others felt more like folks songs “that had been around forever.” The band’s influences in setting the lyrics to music ranged from sacred (Hasidic nigunim –wordless tunes often used in prayer – and Gospel) to secular (freylekhs – traditional dance music – and hoedowns).” \nArts For All tickets are available. Location and quantities may vary.\nPlease contact the box office for more information. Email boxoffice@thereser.org or Phone (971) 501-7722. \nSponsored by TriMet \n \n

SUMMARY:BORIS GILTBURG
DESCRIPTION:Boris Giltburg\, whose “pianism is ideally suited to late Beethoven … enormously pleasurable and revelatory” (BBC Music Magazine)\, opens his PPI recitals with the composer’s lyrically rhapsodic Sonata No. 31 — a work of both serene respite and operatic pathos that\, even upon first listen\, envelops the soul with its loving embrace. \nFrom a dark\, desolate opening to the heavenly ascension experienced in its final phrase\, Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor charts a journey of emotional catharsis filled with plenty of heart-racing moments\, while Rachmaninoff’s final preludes showcase the composer’s ability to create grand cinematic scenes using even the most miniature of musical forms. \n“virtuosity in service to the sublime” \nBEETHOVEN Sonata No. 31 in A-flat Major\, op. 110 \nLISZT Sonata in B Minor \n— Intermission — \nRACHMANINOFF Thirteen Preludes\, op. 32

SUMMARY:Annual Holiday Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Big Horn Brass Holiday concert has been a community favorite for many years! This year’s concert is themed The Night Before Christmas\, and begins with a performance of the St. Matthew Exaltation Handbells.

A perfect way to start your Christmas holidays! \nThe Exaltation Handbell Ensemble from St. Matthew Lutheran Church brings to the holiday season the magical and entertaining sound of handbells and chimes. The 15-member ensemble keeps the bronze instruments in motion as they handle over 60 chromatic handbells and almost 80 handchimes (the largest almost five feet tall). Their concert music includes familiar Christmas carols like the English classic The First Noel\, to a swing rendition of Go Tell It on the Mountain\, to a fully-malleted percussion rendition of Fum\, Fum\, Fum (watch out for flying mallets!). Like the brass\, they awaken an excitement for the season!

SUMMARY:Live Wire with Luke Burbank
DESCRIPTION:Special Guests: Lindy West\, Camille Dungy\, and Margo Cilker \nLive Wire Radio is an independently produced radio show based in Portland\, Oregon. Hosted by Luke Burbank and announced by Elena Passarello\, the show artfully blends unpredictable conversation\, live music\, and original comedy featuring all kinds of cultural talent and creative minds\, from emerging artists to established acts. Live Wire champions discovery by producing engaging\, spirited\, and genuine live and listening experiences for a local and national audience. \nLINDY WEST \nLindy West is a former contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of “Shit\, Actually: The The Definitive\, 100% Objective Guide to Modern Cinema”\, as well as the New York Times bestselling memoir “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” and the essay collection “The Witches Are Coming”. Her work has also appeared in This American Life\, The Guardian\, Cosmopolitan\, GQ\, Vulture\, Jezebel\, and others. She is the co-founder of the reproductive rights destigmatization campaign #ShoutYourAbortion. Her latest project\, a one woman show titled Every Castle\, Ranked\, takes her audience on a hilarious\, bittersweet\, razzle-dazzle journey through her fears\, aspirations\, disappointments\, the history of toilets\, and what it means to be a star. \nCAMILLE DUNGY \nCamille T. Dungy is the author of four collections of poetry and two collections of essays. Her most recent collection\, “Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden\,” recounts her seven-year odyssey to diversify her garden in the predominately white community of Fort Collins\, Colorado. BOOKLIST calls it “a significant\, beautiful\, meditative\, and wholly down-to-earth memoir.” She has been the finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, a Guggenheim Fellow\, an NAACP Image Award nominee\, and the winner of an American Book Award. Her poems have been published in Best American Poetry\, The 100 Best African American Poems\, the Pushcart Anthology\, Best American Travel Writing\, and over thirty other anthologies. \nMARGO CILKER \nMargo Cilker has spent the last seven years touring internationally as a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter. Her debut record\, “Pohorylle”\, was nominated for UK Americana Album of The Year alongside Brandi Carlile and Robert Plant which earned her a slew of festival performances and tours supporting American Aquarium\, Hayes Carll\, and Drive-By Truckers. Her sophomore album\, “Valley of Heart’s Delight”\, refers to a place she can’t return: California’s Santa Clara Valley\, as it was known before the orchards were paved over and became more famous for Silicon than apricots. Margo is the fifth generation of Cilker’s born there\, and in this 11-song collection\, family and nature intertwine as guiding motifs\, at once precious and endangered\, beautiful and exhausting. Her music\, which has been compared to that of Lucinda Williams\, Townes Van Zandt\, and Gillian Welch\, deftly explores the complex\, often-shifting terrain where love and loss meet. \nArts For All tickets are available.

A beloved seasonal tradition\, OIBA’s Nutcracker seamlessly integrates charming and joyful performances by student dancers with breathtaking appearances from the school’s top performers and professional guest artists.

In turn\, OIBA students will go on tour to Japan and China this summer\, during which they will participate in Casa de Arte’s 20th Anniversary performance\, providing OIBA students with an enriching and in-depth collaborative experience in both countries. \nThrough original choreography co-created specifically for OIBA students by award-winning Artistic and Executive Director husband and wife team\, Xuan Cheng and Ye Li\, these young dancers experience both the joy of professional performance and the personal growth associated with the creative process. Many students perform multiple roles in The Nutcracker with most dancing different roles in each show.

Oregon Ballet Theatre principal dancer Brian Simcoe and Oregon Ballet Theatre rising star Isichel Perez Rivero also feature as guest artists. \n“What a beautiful production! The dancing\, choreography\, costumes\, backdrops\, and lighting were spectacular! Wonderful job\, Ye & Xuan!  Thanks for bringing a high-quality performing arts school to Beaverton.” – Jill\, OIBA parent \n“Our roster of world-class teachers\, the majority of whom have held principal roles with major dance companies\, guide students in a holistic and nurturing process that draws out excellence in artistry and life skills. Our young dancers absolutely shine in these beloved holiday roles\, and the beautiful new Reser Center provides just the right venue. Audiences can’t help but feel the magic!” – OIBA Artistic Director Xuan Cheng \nMany of OIBA’s top dancers who have been with the company since its founding in 2015\, dancing each and every Nutcracker character through the years\, are now advancing into starring roles!

SUMMARY:Issho Rhythm Connection
DESCRIPTION:Issho: Rhythm Connection is Portland Taiko’s first major theater production since 2019. After spending much of the last three years in virtual rehearsals and outdoor performances\, the members of Portland Taiko felt a need to reconnect: to each other\, to friends and family\, to longtime supporters and the greater community. \n“Issho\,” meaning “together” in Japanese\, represents a powerful return to the indoor stage. The performance will explore the connections possible with taiko – linking each performer with each other\, with their instruments and with everyone their sound reaches. \nThe performance will include pieces not performed in many years in addition to fan favorites. The world–class Patricia Reser Center of the Arts is the perfect space to present this wide range of compositions\, from intricate numbers featuring just two drummers\, to beautiful combinations of taiko with violin and flute\, to thunderous full ensemble pieces. \nPortland Taiko blends the tradition of Japanese taiko drumming with a sense of Asian American identity\, creativity and empowerment. The group has headlined at arts festivals and concert halls and performed at hundreds of schools and community events. In recent months\, Portland Taiko has performed at Oregon Rises Above Hate\, Portland’s Refuge Day Walk\, the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Memorial Service and the Rose Festival Starlight Parade. \nFor those who have never seen taiko before\, Issho will be an excellent introduction. Those already familiar with taiko can look forward to intricate rhythms\, exciting choreography and abundant energy and enthusiasm from the crowd and performers. \nPhoto by: Mark Shigenaga

SUMMARY:Brad Mehldau Trio
DESCRIPTION:One of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary jazz piano\, Brad Mehldau has forged a unique path\, which embodies the essence of jazz exploration\, classical romanticism and pop allure. From critical acclaim as a bandleader to major international exposure in collaborations with Pat Metheny\, Renee Fleming\, and Joshua Redman\, Mehldau continues to garner numerous awards and admiration from both jazz purists and music enthusiasts alike. His forays into melding musical idioms\, in both trio (with Larry Grenadier on bass and Jeff Ballard on drums) and solo settings\, has seen brilliant re-workings of songs by contemporary songwriters like The Beatles\, Cole Porter\, Radiohead\, Paul Simon\, Gershwin and Nick Drake; alongside the ever evolving breath of his own significant catalogue of original compositions. With his self-proclaimed affection for popular music and classical training\, “Mehldau is the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years” (The New York Times). \n

SUMMARY:Nella
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the 2019 Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist\, Nella brings her powerhouse voice and undeniable presence to The Reser for a special concert. Merging the folkloric roots of her native Venezuela with the sounds of her generation and influences from Spain’s Andalusia region\, Nella carries her songs around like essential supplies in a backpack and sings them with her soul. \nVenezuelan singer Nella has quickly become acclaimed for her powerhouse voice and her undeniable stage presence.

SUMMARY:Jad Abumrad: How to Talk to a Human
DESCRIPTION:How to Talk to a Human \nIn this innovative and timely talk\, Abumrad explores the art of conversation. For the last year\, he’s been deep diving into the art of interviewing.  Not just how journalists in his industry do it\, but how do therapists do it?  Salespeople?  Hostage negotiators?  Social workers?  What are the techniques we can all steal and use in our own lives when having difficult conversations with fellow humans? He’ll share insights\, play clips and even lead the audience through a few interactive games. \nMacArthur Fellow & creator of Public Radio’s Radiolab \nJad Abumrad is the creator and former host of Radiolab\, a public radio program broadcast on nearly 600 stations across the nation and downloaded more than 12 million times a month as a podcast. Abumrad hosts Everything. Together. Radio on Apple Music Hits. Each episode offers a kaleidoscopic mix of uptempo\, electro\, dance\, funk\, hip-hop\, experimental noise\, soul\, and everything in between. \nAbumrad employs his dual backgrounds as composer and journalist to create what’s been called “a new aesthetic” in broadcast journalism. He orchestrates dialogue\, music\, interviews and sounds into compelling documentaries that draw listeners into investigations of otherwise intimidating topics\, such as the nature of numbers\, the evolution of altruism\, or the legal foundation for the war on terror. \nHe’s won three George Foster Peabody Awards\, and in 2011 Abumrad was honored as a MacArthur Fellow (also known as the Genius Grant).  The MacArthur Foundation website says:  “Abumrad is inspiring boundless curiosity within a new generation of listeners and experimenting with sound to find ever more effective and entertaining ways to explain ideas and tell a story.” \nJad also created and hosted three seasons of More Perfect\, a series about untold stories of the Supreme Court\, which The New York Times called “…possibly the most mesmerizing podcast.”  And in 2019\, Jad Abumrad created Dolly Parton’s America (along with osm Audio’s Shima Oliaee) a Peabody Award-winning 9-part series that explores a divided America through the life and music of one its greatest icons.   Alongside his radio work\, Abumrad continues to work as a composer and remixer and is currently hosting a radio show on Apple Music. In April 2022 Jad began a joint appointment at Vanderbilt University as a Distinguished Research Professor of Cinema and Media Arts and of Communication of Science and Technology at the College of Arts and Science\, and he will have an advisory role with Vanderbilt’s Communications and Marketing team. \nSponsored by The Reser Family Foundation \nArts For All tickets are available.

SUMMARY:Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret w/ Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:We have added a second performance of Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret on Sunday\, November 5 at 7 pm. \nAlan Cumming (Cabaret\, The Good Wife) and Ari Shapiro (NPR’s All Things Considered\, Pink Martini)  both transport audiences to other worlds through their stories. Now\, they’re joining forces in SONG. Witness the exclusive debut of their new evening of tunes and tall tales titled “Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret”. Musical direction by Henry Koperski. \n“A friend of Ari Shapiro’s once told him\, unlike a musical revue\, a cabaret is visceral. It comes alive. It needs to evolve\, to go somewhere unpredictable and take the audience along for the ride…Perhaps after a pandemic-induced hiatus\, it’s a precious opportunity to spend time in a room laughing with strangers.” — Cristela Guerra\, WBUR \nIn a statement\, Cumming said\, “I’ve got to know Ari over the last few years\, both socially and when he interviewed me for a couple of events. The last time was an evening in D.C.\, and by the end of it I realized our chemistry and the unusual combo of us\, as well as the fact that Ari has an amazing voice\, would make for a really great cabaret show. And kapow! We’re doing it! What I love most is it’s fresh and ever-changing.” \nShapiro added\, “When Alan first suggested that we create a show together\, I didn’t quite believe him. Then as we started to dig in to this collaboration\, I realized how much our professional lives actually complement each other. We’re both storytellers who try to help audiences better understand themselves and the world around them. This show lets us explore those shared ideals on stage together\, through stories and songs.” \nSaturday\, November 4\, 7:30 PM \nSunday\, November 5\, 7 PM \nSponsored by U.S. Bank
