SUMMARY:American Strings: An Evening with El Twanguero
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Bob Santelli\, rock historian and Oregon State University’s director of popular music and performing arts\, the American Strings series brings musicians from around the Americas for an in-depth look at the role stringed instruments play in folk and popular music. Each event includes a conversation and live performance from the invited artists. \nDubbed a “firebreathing guitar hero” by the press\, and called “the King of Twang” by Guitar Player Magazine\, Latin Grammy-winning\, guitarist/composer/performer Twanguero (Diego Garcia)\, is considered by many to be one of the finest guitarists in Spain. \nRenowned for his incredible versatility\, fingerpicking technique\, and distinctive ‘twang’ sound\, his music is an unusual fusion of classical Spanish guitar\, flamenco\, Latin rhythms\, country\, rockabilly\, jazz…and surf music. \nRolling Stone calls Twanguero “a journey into the heart of the music” and indeed his newest album\, Carreteras Secundarias\, Vol.2 (Backroads\, Vol.2)\, is exactly that: A stunning solo sequel to the award-winning Carreteras Secundarias\, Vol.1 (“Best World Music Album”at the 2018 MIN awards). \nInternationally renowned for his unique Latino-Twang sound\, which goes from Spanish guitar\, American folk\, flamenco\, and tango\, and for his impeccable fingerpicking style. He has six records so far: The Brooklyn Session (2011)\, Argentina Songbook (2013)\, Pachuco (2015)\, Carreteras Secundarias (2017)\, and Electric Sunset (2018) and won many awards\, including a Spanish Music award for Carreteras Secundarias (Best World Music Record 2018) and a Latin Grammy 2013 for his work with flamenco singer Diego El Cigala. \nJoin us for an exciting show and conversation with El Twanguero. \nRun time: 90 min.

SUMMARY:Haley Reinhart
DESCRIPTION:Haley Reinhart has one of those timeless voices that outlasts eras—one that would have felt as at home in the 1960s as it does in the TikTok age\, and one that resounds louder as time goes on. The platinum-selling singer and songwriter is heavily influenced by classic pop and soul acts—including the Beatles\, Janis Joplin\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and Sly and the Family Stone—and she exudes an empowering level of charisma and confidence earned by a quiet\, decadelong grind. Her dynamism has powered five solo albums—2012’s Listen Up!\, 2016’s Better\, 2017’s What’s That Sound?\, 2019’s Lo-Fi Soul\, and 2022’s Off the Ground. \nA sought-after talent\, Reinhart regularly collaborates with Postmodern Jukebox and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger\, and she duetted with actor-musician Jeff Goldblum on two tracks on his chart-topping jazz standards collection\, The Capitol Studios Sessions. \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 the Hillsboro Hops \n  \n \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Oregon International Ballet Academy kicks off the holiday season with their highly acclaimed rendition of The Nutcracker in two performances at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts. 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. The result is a high-quality\, cohesive\, and exhilarating experience that delivers non-stop holiday magic. \nMusic by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky\nChoreography by Xuan Cheng  / Ye Li\nafter Marius Petipa / Lev Ivanov \nThis year’s Nutcracker production features guest artists from the celebrated dance and performance studio Casa de Arte (Kumamoto\, Japan) dancing side-by-side with OIBA students as part of OIBA’s cultural exchange program. 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. A number of parents participate as party guests\, forming cherished memories of dancing with their children onstage. 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! For example\, Emily Song and Sophia Alicata (see photos in pdf press release attached) will dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. \nOregon International Ballet Academy\nThrough excellence in ballet instruction and uniquely nurturing mentorship\, OIBA teachers instill beauty\, confidence\, health\, love and responsibility\, inspiring students to fulfill their dreams. At once a world-class institution and a warm international family\, OIBA has produced original\, professional performances with live music every year since its founding\, including classical ballet and contemporary work. The experiences and connections of Directors Xuan Cheng and Ye Li provide students with a platform to perform on stages worldwide\, allowing each dancer to explore a similar journey of their own happiness onstage. Since the school founded in 2015\, OIBA-trained students have won positions in The School of American Ballet\, San Francisco Ballet\, Ballet West Academy\, Kirov Academy of Ballet\, and The School of Pacific Northwest Ballet School. Learn more and read director biographies at oiballet.org. \nCasa de Arte\nCasa de Arte is a celebrated dance and performance studio in Kumamoto\, Japan focused on both traditional ballet and Argentine tango\, founded by Hernan Gomez and Maki Fujita (a former member of the Stuttgart Ballet).

Having directed studios in both New York City and Japan\, Gomez and Fujita bring worldly knowledge to their performance and teaching.

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. Location and quantities may vary.\nPlease contact the box office for more information. Email boxoffice@thereser.org or Phone (971) 501-7722.

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: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.

Contributions to the work throughout the exhibition will continue in the upper Murdock gallery throughout the entire exhibition. \nOf What Was…\nOf What Was is a display of table settings that were used to host a gathering of people for a meal.  This event came about shortly after the end of the global pandemic as the artist and others renewed a passion for the value of personal community building and social connections. Dinner guests wrote statements identifying important aspects of community\, that later the artists embroidered. \nAs a way to extend the community engagement and connections\, small cloth napkins will be provided for guests to respond to the prompt: What is your favorite part of sharing a meal with friends?  The artist will embroider responses and add them to the installation throughout. \nImage: Of What Was by Jessica Joner \nList of Artists:\n\nOndrea Bell\nKatherine Curry\nJamie Dang\nKelsey Davis Hamilton\nMegita Denton\nAlexandra Easton\nNoelle Herceg\nJessica Joner\nTanner Lind\nConner Mowery\nIlsa Payne\nRae Sheridan\nEliza Williams\nHali Wilmunnson\nLeah Yao

DESCRIPTION:BERG Sonata\, op. 1 \nSCHUBERT Sonata in A Major\, D. 664 \n— Intermission — \nBEETHOVEN Diabelli Variations\, op. 120 \nOne of the piano world’s rising stars\, praised for “brave\, original playing” (Guardian) and performances “exploding with pure joie de vivre” (BBC Music Magazine)\, Filippo Gorini returns to PPI with a program exploring the vast range of human emotion. \nCharting a journey of tragedy and turmoil\, Berg’s only piano sonata is a work of searing intensity written at the crossroads of romanticism and modernism\, while Schubert’s bucolic Sonata in A Major lyrically evokes the beauty of summer in the Austrian countryside. And in his towering Diabelli Variations\, Beethoven uses a simple waltz as the springboard for daring feats of musical expression fueled by the composer’s boundless imagination.
