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:Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas

SUMMARY:Artist Reception & Social Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Emerging artists from around the state spark creative conversation in a diverse range of concepts\, media\, and stylistic explorations. Come join The Reser as we ring in the new year with a celebratory reception on Friday\, January 5th from 6 – 9 pm. Artists will be in attendance to share their work\, concepts\, techniques\, and give viewers an opportunity to discover new dialogues from these creative voices. \nGuests are invited to join PNCA graduate student\, Jessica Joner as she features a participatory community engagement element to her installation Of What Was. 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

SUMMARY:FILIPPO GORINI
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.

SUMMARY:National Geographic Film: "The Space Race"
DESCRIPTION:THE SPACE RACE weaves together the stories of Black astronauts seeking to break the bonds of social injustice to reach for the stars\, including Guion Bluford\, Ed Dwight and Charles Bolden\, among many others. In THE SPACE RACE\, directors Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Lisa Cortés profile the pioneering Black pilots\, scientists and engineers who joined NASA to serve their country in space\, even as their country failed to achieve equality for them back on Earth. From 1963\, when the assassination of JFK thwarted Captain Ed Dwight’s quest to reach the moon\, to 2020\, when the echoes of the civil unrest sparked by the killing of George Floyd reached the International Space Station\, the story of African Americans at NASA is a tale of world events colliding with the aspirations of uncommon men. The bright dreams of Afrofuturism become reality in THE SPACE RACE\, turning science fiction into science fact and forever redefining what “the right stuff” looks like\, giving us new heroes to celebrate and a fresh history to explore. \nLELAND MELVIN – EXECUTIVE PRODUCER\nLeland Melvin is an engineer\, educator\, former NASA astronaut and NFL wide receiver. He served on board the space shuttle Atlantis as a mission specialist on missions STS-122 (2008) and STS-129 (2009)\, helping to construct the International Space Station. Upon hanging up his space boots\, Melvin led NASA Education and co-chaired the White House’s Federal Coordination in STEAM Education Task Force\, developing the nation’s five-year STEM education plan. After 24 years with NASA as a researcher\, astronaut and senior executive service leader\, he shares his life story as an athlete\, astronaut\, scientist\, engineer\, photographer and musician to help inspire the next generation of explorers to pursue STEAM careers. Melvin holds six honorary doctorates for his service in education\, the sciences and philanthropy. In May 2017\, Melvin released his memoir\, “Chasing Space: An Astronaut’s Story of Grit\, Grace\, and Second Chances.” In “Chasing Space\,” Melvin shares his personal journey from the gridiron to the stars and examines the intersecting roles of community\, perseverance and grace that align to create opportunities for success \nSponsored by Umpqua Bank

In Paris\, he was strongly influenced by jazz and Latin-American music which characterizes his compositional work\, in addition to Brazilian styles. He performed with great success at 9ème Festival de Jazz de Paris that allowed him to perform in Germany\, France\, Switzerland\, Denmark\, Italy\, Austria\, Canada\, and the United States. His compositions and playing have won awards in important international contests such as Spain’s Concurso Andrés Segóvia in Palma de Mallorca and Concurso Francisco Tárrega in Valencia. He has recorded over a dozen albums. In addition to performing internationally\, Marco is a professor in the Composition Department at the federal University of Rio de Janeiro. His compositions are published by Editions Lemoine\, Paris\, and GSP (Guitar Solo Publications)\, San Francisco\, and have been played and recorded by important guitarists all around the world. \nMinnie Marks\nMinnie Marks is not just some blazingly electrified guitar-playing freak of nature. She is also a rare and triple threat: Singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.    Relentlessly performing across the globe\, equipped with an old Goldtop in her hands and a revolutionary Farmer Foot Drum at her feet; Marks consistently pushes musical limits with her mind-blowing\, dynamic guitar wizardry and her insanely powerful voice\, that roars out her truth through song as if her own life depended on it. And\, if that’s not enough\, she simultaneously\, creates bone marrow-shaking grooves with spare limbs on her Foot Drum kit. Finally\, all three beasts are married together to forge a mammoth-sized wall of sound. From winning the world-renowned ‘Bluesfest Busking Competition’ in 2011\, to taking out the People’s Choice Award’ at both Blues At Bridgetown and Nannup Music Festival\, plus earning the winning place of ‘Best Guitarist’ for the Open Arms Festival competition\, Marks is no stranger on the block. \nHere’s what a few master musicians have to say…. \n“Minnie Marks\, she plays guitar like nothing I’ve ever seen before\, she sings like\nJanis Joplin\, she’s going to blow the world apart.” – Kim Churchill \n“I’m shakin’ in my boots. One word\, PRODIGY!” – Sarah McLeod (The\nSuperjesus) \n“One of the finest young guitar players in the country” – Julz Parker (Hussy Hicks) \n“Damn\, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a female shred harder than you in the flesh” –\nDallas Frasca \nOver the past twelve years\, Marks has paved her musical journey around the world with three studio albums and one live album recorded in Stuttgart\, Germany. The award-winning troubadour shows no sign of slowing down. Her new twelve-track album will be out for release in 2022. In 2024\, Minnie will make her North American debut with International Guitar Night. \nArts For All tickets are available.

SUMMARY:The Evolve Experience
DESCRIPTION:For two shows only\, The Reser and the Red Door Project present The Evolve Experience\, an award-winning series of monologues that inspire true dialogue. Afterward\, a chance to reflect together to deepen perspective and foster understanding. \nIt’s a simple\, powerful idea. See and hear real-life stories from racially diverse police officers\, judges\, and community members. Emerge moved and prepared to evolve the conversation about race and justice. \n\nDirected by Co-Founder and Artistic Director\, Kevin Jones\, The Evolve Experience makes a compelling statement about the complexity of racial profiling from a wide variety of perspectives. “Through the telling and hearing of stories\, we can understand\, and perhaps even appreciate\, the similarities in who we are\,” says Jones. “We don’t have to like or even agree with what we hear\, but through our common humanity we will build the world we want to live in\, and that begins with listening.”\n\nHands Up: 7 Playwrights\, 7 Testaments premiered in 2016\, commissioned by The New BlackFest in the wake of police shootings of Mike Brown in Ferguson and John Crawford III in Beavercreek\, among many others. The Red Door Project created Cop Out: Beyond Black\, White & Blue in 2018\, which reflects the complicated personal and professional experiences of police officers in our country today\, based on interviews with law enforcement personnel.\n\nThe Evolve Experience includes monologues from both Hands Up and Cop Out alongside newly added judicial monologues commissioned by the National Center for State Courts. The goal is to stimulate conversation and equip participants with the self-awareness necessary to help overcome this seemingly intractable divide.\n\nArts For All tickets are available. Discounts for groups of ten or more are available.\nPlease contact the box office for more information. Email boxoffice@thereser.org or Phone (971) 501-7722.

SUMMARY:The Triplets of Belleville w/ a live score by Benoit Charest
DESCRIPTION:The Triplets of Belleville Cine-Concert\nBenoit Charest\, Composer-Conductor \nIn 2003\, the animated French feature The Triplets of Belleville swept the globe\, raking up dozens of awards and nominations—not to mention the hearts of countless admirers—along the way. Much of it came down to the Oscar-nominated score by Benoit Charest\, which grabbed audiences by the ears and dragged them into the streets of 1920s Paris and Le Jazz Hot. Benoit is back; with Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville he recreates live the original score as the film itself is beamed onto the big screen. \nSaddle up for the misadventures of a kidnapped Tour de France cyclist\, his would-be rescuer grandmother\, and the titular trio of larger-than-life divas\, all accompanied by the speakeasy slick sounds of un orchestre sans pareil. \nFeaturing Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville with composer Benoit Charest \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 Reser Family Foundation
