“There’s an amazing wealth of great romantic Russian music, and this summer we present many masterpieces which we were unable to perform five years ago, the last time we had a Russian-themed festival,” says violinist Maria Bachmann.

Bachmann is one of three members of Trio Solisti; the acclaimed chamber musicians return to Telluride for their 14th year this summer with programs replete with works by Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Beethoven, to be performed at the Mai home over three remaining evenings: Sunday, June 29, Wednesday, July 2 and Sunday, July 6 (the first program was June 25).

The concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. Among the highlights:

Sunday, June 29 Romantic Russia Pieces by Beethoven (the String Trio “Serenade” in D Major, Op. 8), Liebermann (Piano Trio No. 3), Prokofiev (Five Melodies for Violin and Piano, Op. 35) and Arensky’s Piano Quintet in D major, Op. 51 are on the bill this evening.

Beethoven’s work, published in 1797, is music for a light evening’s entertainment in a social setting, according to lutenist Howard Posner, who annotates programs for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Salzburg Festival, yet this piece nevertheless possesses “clever touches that mark [it] as the product of a giant at

play.” There are also “foreshadowings of the later Beethoven,” perhaps most notably in the short-short-short long motif the great composer “used so often in his ‘Middle period’ works – most famously in the Fifth Symphony – [which] makes an early appearance in the March.” Maria Bachmann, Trio Solisti’s creative director, calls Arensky’s piano quintet “a rarely heard gem” with “gorgeous melodies and virtuosic piano writing.” Guest artists include Joana Genova, on violin, and Hsin-Yun Yuang on viola.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 2 Pictures From Russia Works this evening include Mussorgsky’s famous “Pictures at an Exhibition for Piano Trio,” Tchaikovsky’s “Souvenirs de Florence,” String Sextet Op. 70, and the Colorado premiere of a work composed by Trio’s new pianist, Adam Neiman: his Concerto for Piano and String Quartet. “Full of beautiful melodies and majestic harmony,” Bachmann has said she can detect influences of Russian composers such as Rachmaninov in Neiman’s music – in this piece in particular. Tchaikovsky’s piece, considered one of his greatest works, was inspired by one of his favorite vacation spots. He composed it after his last visit there, and knew he was on to something. “What a sextet – and what a Fugue at the end – it’s a pleasure!” he wrote to his brother, Modest, of Souvenirs. “It is awful how pleased I am with myself; I am embarrassed not by any

Aama Harwood Reads Tuesday, July 1 for Talking Gourds The Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds Poetry Club features Aama Harwood of Durango, whose father is Mysto the Magi, a performer wellknown to Telluride audiences, at its Tuesday, July 1 reading at Arroyo Fine Art Gallery and Wine Bar, 220 E. Colorado Ave., at 8 p.m.

Harwood is a Colorado girl, born and raised, currently attending the University of Colorado at Boulder, majoring in Integrated Physiology with aspirations of becoming a Naturopath Physician. But she has always been a poet at heart. Her love of words dates back to age 4, when she wrote her first song. She believes words are a powerful median, giving eyes to how we each create, feel, think and connect to one other For July and August Talking Gourds has been moved back two hours, to give folks a chance to enjoy the extended daylight.

lack of ideas, but by the novelty of the form.” Guest artist Genova plays violin, and Toby Appel and Kathryn Lockwood will play viola. Edward Arron, a guest at last year’s Musicfest, returns on cello.

SUNDAY, JULY 6 Russian Fireworks Trio Solisti’s final program of the season features sizzling works by Beethoven (“Piano Trio in E Flat Major” Op. 1 No. 1), Arensky (String Quartet in A Minor, Op. 35), and a “brilliant” work (Piano Quintet, Op. 63) by the composer and pianist Sergei Mikhalovich Lyapunov which is

rarely heard outside of Russia. Arensky’s piece is a memorial to his friend and mentor, Tchaikovsky. “He uses Russian folk melodies, Russian church music and in the 2nd movement, he writes variations on a song written by Tchaikovsky…an unusual and moving work,” Bachmann notes.

Beethoven’s Piano Trios in Op. 1 “took this popular form of musical entertainment and enlarged its dimensions – these are in four movements each, when three movements was the prevailing standard – and its technical and expressive demands, particularly for the string players, who see t rio solisti on p age 16

Mysto the Magi Friday, July 18, 4:30 p.m.

Mysto the Magi has been practicing magic since the age of 10, after meeting a friend’s Uncle Harry, who demonstrated magic at Jack’s Joke Shop, in Boston. “My brother and I used to go down there and spend all afternoon watching Harry,” he says.

Two years later, “I did my first professional show for $5.”

At 14, he remembers, “I performed my first stage show,” floating a kid in the audience. “It was a benefit for the cancer society. I made $200, and raised $1,000 for the Cancer Society.” He continued to perform magic through high school; in college, at the University of Texas, “I started doing street magic on 6th St.,” where his show “became much more adult.” He went on to perform at street fairs and Renaissance festivals.”

Today, Mysto has a variety of shows for different groups and situations: a wonder-filled birthday show; an educational program for schools and libraries; a 45-minute comedy show out of a briefcase for comedy clubs a 90-minute

solo stage show for small theaters; and a 90-minute stage illusion show with five illusions, two dancers, and a juggler with me for large performing arts centers.

Mysto, a longtime fixture on the Telluride magic scene, has recently moved from Durango to Denver.

“My show is fun,” he says.

“I keep an air of fun in my show, mostly through my character and the musical choices that I make. My show, like a play or a concert, has its highs and its lows, and its grand finales. Through careful scripting, musical choices, acting, staging, lighting, and what effects I choose to perform and when, I bring the audience with me from laughter to magic to mystery to awe and to wonder.

It’s a magical journey.”

Peter Davison: The Poet of Motion Friday, July 11, at 4:30 p.m. at the Palm Theatre

Peter Davison’s childhood idols were Alexander Calder and Batman, influences that led to training in visual art, juggling, and dance.

While a teenager, Davison began his professional career street performing in Los Angeles. He also worked as a variety artist for Hollywood films, including a role as one of ten jugglers in the film Xanadu with Gene

Kelly and Olivia Newton-John.

Davison moved to Boulder in 1980, to serve as co-director of the Boulder Ballet Company. Dancer, juggler and physical comedian, Davison is a one-of-a-kind artist who transforms the stage into a magical world of motion.

With virtuoso abilities (he’s also former National Juggling Champion and winner of the Ballet Builders Award for New Choreography), Davison brings ordinary objects to life in surprising, humorous and often poignant ways.

It’s a kinetic celebration of life unlike anything you’ve seen before!

Davison, the Poet of Motion will be on stage at the Palm Theatre with a special “Palm Kidz” presentation of: Tossed and Found. Tickets are $5 for kidz of all ages.

Lights, Camera, Auction!

The Ah Haa School’s Ever-Popular Art Auction Now in Its 22nd Year The popular Ah Haa School Art Auction, which is the school’s annual fundraiser, has been delighting audiences for 22 years. In a lively auction, Art lovers and community members bid against one another on a vast range of work created by artists from near and far, and on silent auction items donated by the region’s artists, businesses, service providers and individuals.

This year’s auction, with its theme of Lights, Camera, Auction! – takes place Friday, July 18, from 6-10 p.m.

It’s inspired by the fact that two major film festivals – Telluride Mountainfilm takes place over Memorial Day Weekend and the Telluride Film Festival transpires over Labor Day weekend – bracket Telluride’s summer season.

This year’s auction will bring together all facets of the Telluride community’s collective love of film, from its film-related festivals and prominent local and visiting filmmakers.

On Thursday, July 3, during Telluride Artwalk, the Ah Haa School’s Daniel Tucker Gallery will display items scheduled for the July 18 auction, 5-8 p.m. Early bids will be taken; buynow options are also available. Auction artwork will be on display for early bid-

Telluride Historical Museum Voices of Wartime

Telluride During World War II The Telluride Historical Museum’s new Voices of Wartime; Telluride During WW II, runs through March 2015. It explores the history of the Second World War through the unique lens of Telluride and its residents.

Voices of Wartime offers a revealing look at how daily life in Telluride changed – and did not change – during World War II, capturing the experiences of local residents through oral histories, preserving their stories for current and future generations. Artifacts and photographs collected from local families, and, through the museum’s recent Smithsonian Affiliate status, from collaborating Affiliate partners, including the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, are on display as well. The loaned artifacts tell powerful and often tragic stories, helping put the local oral histories into their global context. The exhibit includes period radio programs, newspapers and see MUSEUM on p age 16

Ouray Artist Ann Cheeks Helps Kids Discover Their Creative Spirit B y S a mantha W r i g ht

Walk into Ann Cheeks’ studio in downtown Ouray and you’ll wish you were a kid again, just so you could go to art camp with her.

In one corner, she’s got a box full of soft stone that’s ready for carving into amulets. In another, she’s got a plastic bag full of raw wool; she can’t wait to show her students how you can take something that looks like a complete mess, and transform it into a beautiful creation – like, for example, the creamy white felted handbag she holds up that is artfully adorned with a fringe of chicken feathers.

Cheeks, who moved to Ouray from Charlottesville, N.C. with her partner a year and a half ago, is teaching art to kids in Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray this summer through three different programs – Voyager Youth Program, Weehawken Creative Arts and Ah Haa School for the Arts.

Her studio is playing double-duty lately as a staging area for art camp and her upcoming one-woman show, featuring her stunning oil paintings of local landscapes. The show opens at La Cocina de Luz in Telluride in early July.

A table in front of the window is com-

pletely covered with beaded jewelry that she makes “just for fun.”

Cheeks has just gone through a very prolific period preparing for the upcoming show, and it’s easy to see how the new landscapes of the west have inspired her as an artist.

The paintings are at once vividly realistic and yet somehow still seem to pulse with the soulfulness of the painter who has made them. Her work is infused by deep blue skies, vast spaces and the life that resides within them. Sometimes color and pattern drive the painting. Sometimes it’s about the depth and form of the space.

“Either way, I am painting to capture the intense feeling that I get from being in such awe-inspiring places,” she said.

“Places that are becoming more and more precious as time moves on.”

In her paintings, Cheeks’ favorite recurring theme is water – be it in the form of a sparkling ocean, a forest creek, or a spray of waterfall droplets dancing in sunlight.

“I love water – the way it moves, the light on the top and underneath,” she said.

Cheeks is something rare among professional fine artists in that she actually loves teaching children. She first discovered this affinity when her own sons (now in their early 20s) were little, and has continued to both work with kids and pursue her own career as an artist.

For 10 years in the Charlottesville area prior to moving to Ouray, Cheeks and her partner ran a very successful summer art camp for kids called the Pathfinders Art and Nature Camp.

“It was a very full time – we had 20 kids per week all week long,” she said.

“We did rock carving, painting, print making, weaving.... It was fun!”

Although she loves working with kids of all ages, her favorite age range is the 7-to-12 year old set.

“I give them the tools, show them the skills, and leave them alone and let them play and experiment,” she said.

“That is huge. Kids have way too much

Testroet, Sjerven Bring Night of Comedy July 5 MONTROSE – Canyon Creek Bed and Breakfast’s summer of comedy rolls on Saturday, July 5, when comedians David Testroet and Mike Sjerven take the outdoor patio stage in downtown Montrose.

Every month during the summer, Canyon Creek hosts an evening of big city laughter that’s now become a mainstay on the downtown Montrose entertainment scene. Opening the July 5 evening of comedy is Sjerven, a Denver favorite since he was a finalist in the prestigious Comedy Works New Talent contest in 2006.

Now a Comedy Works regular, Sjerven has shared the stage with national performers like Bill Burr, Bob Saget and Kathleen Madigan. He has performed at Red Rocks Amphitheater as part of its Film on the Rocks series and is a regular performer with Monkey’s Uncle Comedy Improv.

Sjerven has also covered the lighter

side of Denver sports for the sports site SB Nation Denver. His comedy has been described as “likeable, but with an edge.”

Headlining the July 5 show is Testroet, a true veteran comedian with the biography to prove it.

‘It has to be this way’ in their lives – too much brainy stuff. You need to turn your brain off.”

Even with children, she finds that it is not an easy thing to do. “Starting younger and younger now, we are expecting them to do things well all the time,” she said.

“You have to try and be willing to mess up a couple of times.”

Cheeks found her way to Ouray with

her partner, Rick, who has lived in Colorado on and off for years. As soon as she came here, she said, “The area felt like home. It just did and it still does.”

It’s not just the landscapes that she loves. It’s also the simplicity and lack of pretension. She has begun to find a place within the community of fine artists who live in the area.

And of course, among the kids.

“I love kids,” she said. “I don’t get people that don’t like kids. I find myself much freer with them. They are more honest and don’t have anything to prove to themselves or to me. They feel much more calm and real.”

Throughout the month of June, Cheeks has been teaching afternoon art classes to kids in the Voyager Youth Program’s Summer Enrichment Program in Ridg-

Born in Iowa, Testroet delivers jokes with an easy midwestern delivery. With a quick laugh and a shift of an eyebrow, he has soon drawn you into his world. From comedy clubs and theaters across the United States and Canada to flying across seas for five different tours to entertain the U.S. Military, he’s provided fast and funny shows anyone can enjoy.

His material twists from Darwin to grizzly bears and he has sharp improvisation skills developed with over 20 years of stage experience. A well-established harmonica player, Testroet has incorporated this into his act – from rock and roll to his original songs like the “Big Guy Blues.”

It’s a strong closer that even further separates Testroet from other comedians.

Pickin’ Productions Brings Five Nights of Free Music To Ridgway’s Hartwell Park Headliners Play Again, at the Sherbino, After Dark B y Watch Sta ff

The Paonia-based Pickin’ Productions, self-described purveyors of fine live music in western Colorado, brings five nights of great music to Ridgway’s Hartwell Park, Thursday nights (from 6 p.m. until dark), starting with Paper Bird with Chimney Choir, on Thursday, July 3. Known for their songwriting, musicianship and aversion to trendiness, the seven-member band has described the music they like to play as “joyful.” Chimney Choir’s music is played on banjo, fiddle, guitar and piano, with three-part harmonies and layered with electronic drones. Thursday, July 10 brings Halden Wofford and The Hi-Beams’ Tribute to Dylan and the Dead, offering a stylish take on the honkytonk genre, followed by Park City musical power group Lash LaRue. Orgone hit the stage Thursday, July 17, for a rhythmic, grooving down-anddirty dance party, followed by Califor-

nia artist Andy Frasco’s party blues with a touch of barefoot boogie.

The next week brings Zongo Junction, from New York City’s exploding Afrobeat scene, with five horns and a six-piece rhythm section, with Scottish indie-pop group The Royal We, on Thursday, July 24.

The month of fun wraps up with bluegrass legend Peter Rowan, known for his original songwriting and for his musical diversity. From his early years playing under the tutelage of Bluegrass veteran Bill Monroe, to his time in Old and in the Way to breakout as a solo musician and bandleader, Rowan has built a devoted, international fan base through a solid stream of records, collaborative projects, and constant touring. Performing alongside Rowan is mandolinist Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen, emerging bluegrass/newgrass stars.

“I am thrilled to bring bluegrass leg-

end Peter Rowan in July, and a cool aspect of that show will be that Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen will serve as Peter’s backup band,” says Pickin’ Productions’ founder Rob Miller. Coming on stage after Rowan et all is Bruce Hayes, who plays rhythm and Celtgrass music, a fusion of musical styles that combines acoustic and electric instrumentation with elements of Rock, Bluegrass, Celtic and R&B music, performing original songs and arrangements on mandolin, guitar, dobro, footboard and his latest creation, the Stratoba.

The Fun Moves to the Sherbino After Dark Each Thursday-night headliner in the Ridgway Concert Series moves over to the Sherbino Theatre, once their set is done. Doors will open around 8 p.m., with the music starting around 9-9:30.

Two-time Grammy Nominee Kim Richey at the Wright Opera House “Richey entices you with sad and unembellished music that reveals an original spirit - and then she ensnares you for keeps by making you consider all the noiseless sensations that no songs can ever contain.” – Timothy White, Billboard Magazine Two-time Grammy-nominated Kim Richey is foremost a storyteller, a weaver of emotions who tugs at the heartstrings of her listeners. Her voice – pure, arresting and honest – is compelling. Her songs – tender, poetic and aching with truth – transport her listeners into her world, where her words paint pictures and her and melodies touch the soul.

The Zanesville, Ohio native came on the scene as a progressive country singer, with her albums (Kim Richey, 1995; Bittersweet, 1997 and Glimmer in 1999, all on Mercury) effortlessly showcasing her pop sensibilities thanks to her rich, rounded vocal tone and sophisticated songwriting.

In the years since, Richey has made her subtly psychedelic album Rise (Lost Highway), in Los Angeles, with producer Bill Bottrell; worked in London to with Giles Martin on the crisply orchestrated Chinese Boxes (Vanguard) and with her

cheers!

East Nashville-based bandleader and co-writer Neilson Hubbard, both on the indie-pop Wreck Your Wheels (Lojinx/ Thirty Tigers) and on her latest masterpiece of smart, sensual understatement, Thorn in My Heart (Lojinx/Yep Roc).

Thorn features an eclectic lineup of guests, including Jason Isbell, Wilco’s Pat Sansone, My Morning Jacket’s Carl Broemel, Will Kimbrough and Trisha Yearwood, returning the harmony-singing favor.

And the dozen songs themselves show that Richey’s still dreaming up fetching melodies that arc and bend in unexpected ways, and still discovering fresh angles from which to articulate matters of the heart.

Some of country music’s most established performers – including Radney Foster, Trisha Yearwood and Pam Tillis – perform her songs; you can also her on television, both on Bones and on with Gareth Dunlop on the ABC hit show, Nashville.

Richey plays the Wright Opera House Saturday, July 26; tickets $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Call 970/3254399 or visit www.thewrightoperahouse.org for more information.

ROCK IT OLD SCHOOL

90s LEFTOVERS: REHEATED Spoon is proof that Austin was producing great music long before all the attention it got for doing so. Carving out their own lane during an era dominated by bands like The Pixies was the result of mixing post-punk with pop sensibilities that alternative rock perfected during the 90s decade. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that the culmination of Spoon’s efforts saw commercial success.

Billboard charting and late night show performances has been consistent for the band from then until now, and their songs have been used on countless television shows (which you may know, but didn’t know it was them). If you’re like me, hearing Spoon play generational anthems like “The Way We Get By” is reason enough to check them out at The Ride Festival, July 12-13.

Sharing a hometown with Black Joe Lewis is four piece Austinites White Denim. While they also dabble in the art of rock, their expertise gravitates towards gritty, experimental sides of the genre that allow room for jamming and intense looping within song structures. The melancholy vocals of James Petralli reeks of 90s alt-rock

sentiments, but the technical and unpredictable instrumentation carves out a sound all their own. Being in command of their heaviness is the reason they have toured the world and shared tours with the likes of Wilco.

This highly sought after quartet will be one of the sleeper sets at The Ride Festival, July 12-13.

Two-time Grammy-nominated Kim is a storyteller; a weaver of emotions and a tugger of heartstrings. Tender, poetic and aching with life’s truths, Kim’s songs transport you to her world, where words paint pictures and melodies touch the soul.

And then there’s her voice. Pure, arresting and honest, it makes you take notice; Kim has the kind of voice where if emotions were ribbons, they’d be streaming in rainbow colours from your iPod.
