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

DESCRIPTION:For the 24th annual tour\, Brian Gore has assembled a lineup of three IGN favorites and an exciting newcomer. LUCA STRICAGNOLI (Italy)\, the amazing acoustic rock interpreter\, will be returning for the 4th time. THU LE (Vietnam)\, whose nylon string artistry stretches from classical to contemporary) was on the IGN 2022 tour. MARCO PEREIRA (Brazil)\, the master composer and performer\, first toured with IGN in its early days and returns for his final go-round in 2024.  And MINNIE MARKS (Australia)\, the irrepressible blues slide guitarist and singer\, not only is new to IGN but will be making her North American debut. We are grateful and honored to present them all. \nLuca Stricagnoli\nWith his music videos exceeding 100 million views and bookings in every corner of the globe\, Luca Stricagnoli is considered one of the most interesting acoustic guitarists in the world. \nUsing up to five guitars in the same piece\, modified capos\, and self-conceived stratagems\, Luca continually leaves his audiences in awe and wondering what’s next for the up-and-coming guitarist. In addition to his musical abilities\, Luca brings an enthusiastic energy to the stage that makes him a true entertainer. \nHis latest invention\, a custom Triple Neck Guitar\, obtained once again a viral success with over 40 million views online. His performances with this instrument have been featured in magazines everywhere and even grabbed the attention of famous bands such as “Red Hot Chili Peppers”. Luca has played in more than 20 countries and in front of audiences up to 12\,000 people \nThu Le\nI am an International award-winning classical guitarist and certified guitar teacher. My love affair with the guitar began at the age of four thanks to my father\, Le Hanh\, At the age of five I gave my first public performance in Vietnam under his tutorship. I passed the entrance examination for the National Conservatory of Music\, Hanoi at the age of only seven\, making me the youngest ever student to be admitted to this prestigious establishment. To further enhance and develop my talent\, I took master classes with world-renowned guitarists such as Manuel Barrueco\, Nikita Koshkin\, Hubert Kaeppel\, Pavel Steidle\, Thomas Offermann\, Marcin Dylla\, Denis Azabagic\, Judicael Perroi\, and Gabriel Bianco. \nMy passion for guitar has seen me perform solo as well as hosting a series of successful master classes across several continents including North America\, UK and Europe\, the Middle East\, and Asia. And of course\, I stay close to my cultural roots performing regularly in Vietnam\, my beloved country of birth. \nIn 2018 I performed and held master classes at the prestigious Guitar Federation of America (GFA) convention held in Louisville\, USA. In addition\, I was a performing artist and jury member at the 2018 Alma Hanoi International Guitar Festival.  I also perform regularly at the famous Joaquin Rodrigo Guitar Festival in Spain and the renowned International Guitar Festival in Kolkata\, India. Besides my solo career\, I also collaborate and perform with orchestras\, string quartets\, vocalists\, violinists\, flutists\, and in guitar duo.  \nMarco Pereira\nMarco Pereira is an internationally renowned Brazilian composer\, guitarist\, and\nuniversity professor. He has performed and recorded with many top popular Brazilian singers/composers like Tom Jobim\, Milton Nascimento\, Edu Lobo\,\nPaulinho da Viola\, Gilberto Gil\, and Wagner Tiso. He has performed in North America on several occasions with International Guitar Night. He returns again for International Guitar Night XXIV in 2024. Marco was born in Sao Paulo and got classical guitar lessons with the Uruguayan master Isaias Sávio and music theory lessons at the Music and Drama Conservatory of São Paulo. He lived in France for five years and received a classical guitar master’s degree in performance from the Université Musicale Internationale of Paris\, and a master’s degree in Musicology from the University of Paris-Sorbonne with his thesis Hector Villa-Lobos and his guitar work (Editora Musimed – Brasília – Brasil). 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Beethoven Mass in C\, Op. 86
DESCRIPTION:Choral Arts Ensemble welcomes the Sunnyside Symphony Orchestra for a special performance of Beethoven’s colossal Mass in C major. Inhabiting the dramatic world of the symphony\, this beautiful Mass is one of the most significant works in the choral repertoire. \nWhile often overshadowed by his subsequent Missa Solemnis\, this “long-underrated masterpiece” is the first of Beethoven’s two masses and set the standard for Mass settings in the 19th century. Commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II to celebrate his wife’s name-day in 1807\, Beethoven’s Mass in C contains some of the composer’s most sublime music for voices. \nThe Mass was written while Beethoven was composing another work in C … his Fifth Symphony. The resulting structure of the Mass is powerfully symphonic. With a combination of spirituality and humanity\, Beethoven treated the text and sentiments of the Mass as they had never been treated before. Anchored in the Haydn-Mozart style of Mass\, Beethoven goes beyond it\, adding to their grace a muscular strength\, a festive tone and the personal feel that distinguishes almost all of Beethoven’s music. The work’s grandeur\, power\, and spiritual depth make it an enduring masterpiece that continues to inspire and move audiences. \nCurrently celebrating its 55th season\, CAE is Portland’s choir\, both geographically and in spirit. We uphold our tradition of choral excellence\, sharing a passion for our art while having a little fun along the way. As one of the region’s premiere choral ensembles\, we continue our tradition of building community\, educating\, enriching\, and entertaining our audiences with exceptional performances of unique and diverse programming performed at the highest artistic level. We are singers who represent a variety of professional occupations and diverse singing experiences\, but we have all joined for a simple reason –passion – for music\, for our fellow singers and for our audiences. Through artistic excellence and creative collaboration\, we are committed to creating inspiring concert experiences. \nStudent tickets $5\, to purchase please contact The Reser Box Office – boxoffice@thereser.org\, (971) 501-7722.\nAdd 8 or more tickets to your cart for a 20% group discount on Standard tickets.

SUMMARY:Spring Concert
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Beaverton Symphony’s 40th anniversary by welcoming Music Director finalist Pierre Chevalier and violinist Nelly Kovalev for the Spring Concert. The program includes Rossini’s Overture from “The Italian in Algiers\,” the Glazunov Violin Concerto\, and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8. The melancholic Glazunov Violin Concerto pairs beautifully with the unrestrained joy of Dvorak’s 8th Symphony. These tremendous pieces capture the transition from the end of winter to the beginning of spring. \nPierre-Alain Chevalier  \nConductor and educator Pierre-Alain Chevalier has worn many hats in his career\, crossing the entire country while performing with numerous ensembles and teaching students of all ages. With a community-centered approach toward programming and performance\, Chevalier made a name for himself as music director of the Baytown Symphony Orchestra\, ultimately winning third in the American Prize in Orchestral Conducting in 2019 and Orchestra Performance in 2021. Chevalier is currently the Marketing and Administrative Coordinator for the renowned Oregon Repertory Singers in Portland. Dr. Chevalier holds degrees from the Moores School of Music (DMA)\, The Hartt School (MM) and Willamette University (BM). \nNelly Kovalev  \nA magnetic violinist\, Nelly Kovalev shines in vibrant performances\, full of “thrilling life and deep feeling.” (San Francisco Classical Voice) With her bold approach and signature chic style\, Kovalev exudes warmth and vivacity\, both onstage and off. Her “precise\, yet effortless playing… [is] just plain gorgeous” (Oregon ArtsWatch) and translates equally well in front of the orchestra\, on movie soundtracks\, and in concert stadiums. Kovalev thrives across genres\, and is especially adept in pop and rock environments\, contributing high-caliber skills with star power. She has toured Asia and across Europe (including in her home country of Latvia)\, with performances in Radio City Music Hall\, The Kennedy Center\, Nokia Theater\, The Hollywood Bowl\, and most recently\, playing the national anthem to open a Trailblazers game at the Moda Center in Portland\, Oregon. Her session work includes scores for Frozen\, Renfield\, Outlander\, Ben Hur\, The Age of Adeline\, as well as Halo and Spider-Man video games\, and albums for Alesana\, Federale\, and Pink Martini. \n  \nPre-concert talk at 6:45 pm.

SUMMARY:In the Realm of Nature
