OPINION

Protect Bend’s Culture

by JAMES GROSS, President, Bend Radio Group

Recently the Bend City Council met to discuss curbing concerts and events on private land by significantly limiting Temporary Certificates of Occupancy (TCO) by location. The tip of this spear is pointed at GoodLife Brewery, Volcanic Theatre Pub, and the concerts my company produces at Century Center. Why is this issue so important? Because drastically limiting TCOs will cripple Arts, Entertainment and Culture in Bend. Such a change in policy will negatively affect jobs, businesses, our economy and the nonprofits who depend on these fund raising and awareness generating opportunities. Finally, the draconian limits on TCOs advocated by some Councilors will actually increase noise and serve to further crowd neighborhood streets as who is left of our culture creators are forced to open parking lots across the city. Is there really a problem in need of this kind of a solution? By way of example, consider Century Center and the entertainment we produce there.

In over 30 shows and events at Century Center, Bend Radio Group has incurred one sound violation in six years. Beyond the lack of violations, videotaped sound measurements at last year’s Pepper and Tribal Seeds' performances confirm compliance with the City’s noise ordinance. The City’s own crowd sourcing study proves our concerts and fund raising events (like the Subaru Outside Games) are not an issue for the neighborhood next to Century Center. At the Riverwest Neighborhood Association meeting November 16 not a single neighbor raised the issue of noise. In fact police records indicate the overwhelming percentage of all complaints in 2017 came from just two residents from the adjoining neighborhood to Century Center. So what kind of community citizen have we been?

Over the years Bend Radio Group, GoodLife Brewing, and Volcanic Theatre Pub have had excellent relationships with the City’s relevant departments. In the case of Bend Radio Group’s concerts and events we have been responsive and engaged on every level: unilaterally investing in sound proofing; patrolling and picking up trash in the neighborhood; ending all concerts before 10pm; staffing those concerts with overwhelming security; voluntarily reducing shows from seven to five a year; creating bike valets, and operating without noise variances. We’ve even offered free hotel rooms to any frustrated neighbors.

The concerts and the events Bend Radio Group produces at Century Center have also donated well over one hundred thousand dollars and more than a half a million dollars in marketing to the nonprofits we support. And the overall local economic impact?

Conservatively speaking, over two million dollars a year. By way of comparison, the estimated impact of 3,700 people attending the 2014 Sisters Folk Festival alone was over 1.5 million dollars. Now get out your calculators, put on your thinking caps, and consider the economic impact to our community from everyone who creates the culture that is Bend. It is staggering.

So why are some members of the Council trying to hamstring our culture? How can Councilor Moseley see “events and the noise they produce transforming Bend into Party Town USA; causing congested and damaged streets”? Why were the three Councilors we met with in November uninterested in the results of their own recent crowd sourcing study, our several thousand signatures of support, videotaped sound measurements, our excellent record or our neighborly efforts? We're having no luck getting answers from the Councilors to these or the other questions we’ve asked. Bend Radio Group and the businesses who create entertainment at Century Center are understandably concerned and troubled. Everyone should be. This affects all of us.

If you love the culture that is Bend … if you depend upon it, or benefit from it in some way … please write all of your elected officials on the Council. They need to hear from you. They need to hear from all of us. You can find their email addresses by searching the Bend City Council.

Cascade Arts & Entertainment invites Mr. Griffiths, City Councilors or anyone in the community to submit their opinion. jeff@cascadebusnews.com Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | March 2018

Library Foundation’s Author! Author! Literary Series

I

n 2012 the Author! Author! literary series began with a very lofty goal: Bring some of the brightest literary minds to Central Oregon four times a year to share their books and engage audiences in discussions and thought-provoking ideas regarding their work. Now entering its sixth season, Author! Author! has successfully lived up to its goal. The extraordinary line-up for the 2017/18 season features award-winning authors who have all spent time on best-seller lists: ELIZABETH STROUT| Friday, March 16 | 7pm | Bend High School Auditorium Elizabeth Strout is the author of six books, including her 2009 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Olive Kitteridge. Her debut novel, Amy and Isabelle, won the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize. Her short stories have appeared in numerous publications, including The New Yorker. Her most recent novel, Anything is Possible, was called “…a shimmering masterpiece of a book,” in a review from The Guardian. Strout lives in New York City.

The Author! Author! series began in 2012 as a way to expand the literary landscape in Central Oregon while raising funds for the Deschutes Public Library Foundation. With four best-selling writers visiting with each annual series, Central Oregon played host to numerous authors who have won Pulitzer Prizes, National Book Awards, Edgar Awards, MacArthur Fellow and other various awards.

“The community response to Author! Author! has been amazing,” says the program’s project director, Chantal Strobel. “Ticket sales have increased with each season, which speaks volumes about Central Oregon’s engagement in and commitment to the literary arts. Being able to bring such a high caliber of authors to the region—year after year—is really a testament to our community and the value they place on books, learning and conversation.” dplfoundation.org

Oregon Cultural Trust Tax Credit Expiration

by CHRIS COLEMAN, Board President, Cultural Advocacy Coalition

Y

ou know how essential arts and culture are to our quality of life here in Oregon — they enrich our community, preserve our history and foster greater creativity and imagination. You also understand, given recent threats, how precarious funding for arts and culture can be. But, there is something you can do.

Our symphonies, museums, theatres, performing arts, arts education programs and heritage centers all matter so much. An important piece of their continued success comes from state funding. Here in Oregon, it also comes from our innovative Oregon Cultural Trust.

It’s a simple and effective idea that allows you to have the power to direct some of your own tax dollars to provide greater funding for the things you care about. Yet, every time the legislature gears up to make important budget decisions, the existence of the trust is threatened.

The Tax Credit that funds the Trust expires soon and from our past experience we know, there are those who would rather see the Oregon Cultural Trust simply vanish. We can’t let this happen. And we need your help.

We believe it is imperative that the state continues to fund arts and culture in Oregon.

We are in a legislative session right now and

sculptor Isamu Noguchi to Portland’s Japanese Garden...it’s funding that allowed Ethos Music to touch the lives of 3,000 children in 19 small rural Oregon schools without music programs... it’s funding that fosters the work of Oregon’s most accomplished writers through Literary Arts... it’s funding that makes possible more dance, more music, more art, more words – it makes possible a better Oregon.

Please join us in ensuring that these possibilities and opportunities are kept alive.

The Oregon Cultural Trust is such a great example of democracy in action. Today, I ask you to make your cultural voice heard loud and clear in Salem by making it possible for the Cultural Advocacy Coalition to be on the ground, speaking to those in power on behalf of your values, and of the truly valuable and essential work of our artists, historians, teachers, and cultural leaders.

Please help us continue to fight for the unmatched importance of art, heritage, and the humanities in this magnificent place we live.

Help protect state funding of the arts in Oregon by making your contribution today to keep the Cultural Advocacy Coalition working on behalf of the arts, every single day. oregonculture.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | March 2018 5

your contribution today will help the Cultural Advocacy Coalition continue full-time advocacy for arts and culture in Salem.

The stark reality is that when priorities are set, resources so often go to those with the loudest voices or deepest pockets. This is when the arts lose out.

And this is where the Cultural Advocacy Coalition comes in — to give a voice to the importance of arts and culture — to ensure that the arts receive its fair share by protecting funding to our state partners and the Oregon Cultural Trust — for state grants to the cultural community.

This critical state funding plays such a vital role in building stronger communities in Oregon.

It’s funding that brought the work of celebrated

our Guests are Ghosts, put on by the High Desert Theatre Company, will be coming to the Madras Performing Arts Center March 15-18.

Lin Fletcher and Jim Stoddard, two young law students, answer an ad for a part-time position at the Peaceful Rest Retirement Home and soon discover a retirement home for ghosts. First, a cantankerous old neighboring farmer named Zeke Washington arrives, warning them of vandals and strange goings-on and insists that the house has been vacant for over 20 years. He leaves and the “tenants” start to appear. Lucy, the owner of the Peaceful Rest Retirement Home; Heloise, a gum-snapping flapper from the roaring twenties; her ne’r-do-well boyfriend, Andrew Andrews III; Colonel and Lady Smedley, two ver-r-r-y proper English aristocrats; Lavendar LaRue and her maid; Tenderson, an Edgar Allen Poe-ish writer; Willoughby, a hammy Shakespearean actor; Circe, a witch who says she was burned at the stake in Salem in 1693; and Tex, a former wild west rodeo star. Not knowing whether Lucy and her friends are all loony or worse yet, really ghosts, Jim and Lin reluctantly agree to spend the night and end up uncovering Zeke Washington’s devious plans to turn the home into a miniature golf course.

Museum at Warm Springs 25th Anniversary Celebrating a Quarter Century of Culture, History & Community

O

n March 14, 1993, The Museum at Warm Springs opened its doors as a living repository and center to perpetuate the culture and heritage of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Its mission is to preserve, advance and share knowledge of the cultural, traditional and artistic heritage of The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. This year, The Museum will celebrate 25 years as a community treasure and key cultural resource. To mark this milestone, The Museum will present a year-long program of special events and activities, which will be integrated into its regular offerings.

A Vision Comes Alive The dream of a tribal museum for the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon began fifty ago. In 1968, the tribal leadership and community recognized that private collectors or off reservation institutions were buying much of their material culture. Soon thereafter, the Tribes began to allocate $50,000 every year for the purchase of artifacts from individual tribal members and families of the Warm Springs community. The effort represents perhaps the most aggressive acquisition program ever undertaken by an American Indian group. The collection includes family heirlooms, trade items from other tribes, bestowed gifts and keepsakes that have been passed on from generation to generation making the collection one of the best and most complete material collections owned by an Indian tribe. In addition to artifacts, The Museum’s collection boasts 5,000 photographs dating from the 1850’s to the present. The third component of the collection consists of important tribal documents and many books on a wide range of subjects on American Indian history, art and culture.

COVER ART The support of the Warm Springs community and the commitment behind The Museum are the hallmarks of the project. After 20 years of preparation, the Tribes began focused planning for The Museum in 1987 with the hiring of the first Executive Director. In October 1988, tribal members voted to appropriate $2.5 million for Museum construction. The Tribes then added over $726,498 making their total contribution $3,226,493. In the fall of 1988, the Tribes raised an additional $3.1 million from foundations, corporations and individuals for the construction, education program and museum endowment.

The total project costs were $7,728,900. The Museum is the first tribal museum in the state of Oregon. Stastny & Burke Architecture of Portland, Oregon designed the building and the permanent exhibit was designed by Formations, Inc., also of Portland. Construction began May 7, 1992 by S.M. Andersen Construction, Inc. of Portland. The grand opening celebration for the general public was March 14, 1993.

The summer exhibition, “Memory of the Land: The Treaty of the Middle Columbia River Tribes and Bands” will feature the 1855 Treaty. The exhibition will and explore the history of the Treaty, its impacts today and into the future. The Museum at Warm Springs exhibit will include educational panels and activities to educate the public about the importance of the US Treaties with Indigenous Nations. Sovereignty is the least understood aspect of the treaty negotiations, and treaties with American Indian Tribes are the Supreme Law of the Land.

Government, and Federal Administrators of the Pacific Northwest region; and assist teachers and educators of Oregon to understand Treaties and history of Oregon Tribes for the mandate of teaching American Indian history in schools; provide essential education for the all-present and future citizens of Oregon regarding Tribal Sovereignty and co-management of Natural Resources. The symposium begins the work of building understanding and connecting people in a network to continue their work with a foundation of appropriate information on which to build both conversation and curriculum.

Upcoming Exhibition Explores the Sport & Spirit of Climbing

A

new exhibit showcasing the dynamic history, evolution and culture of climbing and mountaineering in the West will open to the public at the High Desert Museum on April 28. Curated by High Desert Museum staff, Ascent: Climbing Explored tells the story of how technology pushed the sport to new heights over several decades, explores the geology of the High Desert region and shares the vibrant culture climbers cultivated along the way.

Curator of Western History Dr. Laura Ferguson spent the better part of a year researching the sport as she developed the exhibit. “The climbing community has been incredibly generous, and I’ve loved having a chance to learn more about the history of climbing from those who played a key role in shaping it,” said Dr. Laura Ferguson.

The exhibition takes an incredible journey back in time, tracing modern-day climbing to its early mountaineering roots, when people began exploring peaks in pursuit of scientific discovery. It explores the rise in mountaineering expeditions that followed as people began to climb for the sheer joy of it and the development of rock climbing. Along the way, it highlights technical advances from evolving shoe styles to the advent and improvement of safety gear.

The exhibit also features beautiful artwork, including an original sketch by Thomas Moran, on 14 March 2018 | www.CascadeAE.com

Ascent: Climbing Explored Opens April 28

loan from the Smithsonian Institution. Geology of the region will be highlighted, including Smith Rock, which became a national destination in the 1980s.

“It’s exciting that Smith Rock, which has played a significant role in the world of climbing, is right in our backyard,” said Dr. Ferguson. The exhibition also addresses the importance of balancing adventurebased, outdoor recreation with environmental stewardship. There will be a climbing wall for kids and other hands-on experiences.

“Ascent provides a connection between the past and present, exploring climbing from its humble beginnings through the enthusiastic following the sport has today,” said the Museum’s Executive Director, Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. “Climbing culture

runs deep in our region and we’re pleased to be able to expand our visitors’ knowledge through this exhibit.”

It was climbing culture combined with innovations in gear that sparked the creation of several major outdoor gear companies.

Ascent is an informative, interactive exhibition that has something for all ages. Visitors will not only learn about the history of climbing, but will explore artifacts from different time periods, get a unique look inside the sport’s unique culture and test their skills with ropes and knots. Exhibition runs through September 3, 2018.

The High Desert Museum opened in 1982 and brings regional wildlife, culture, art and natural resources together to promote an understanding of the natural and cultural heritage of North America’s high desert country. The Museum uses indoor and outdoor exhibits, wildlife in natural habitats, and living history demonstrations to help people discover and appreciate the high desert environment. The Museum is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and is a Smithsonian Affiliate.

Exhibit made possible by GreenLoop IT Solutions, OPB, NW Travel Magazine and SELCO Community Credit Union and with support from Bend Magazine, Chubb and the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation. highdesertmuseum.org

ARTS New Website Showcases Bend’s Public Art Collection AIPP’s impressive new website capturing Bend’s Public Art Collection

A

rt in Public Places (AIPP) announced today that it has launched a new website to showcase Bend’s public art collection with spectacular colorful images.

Stunning photography of Bend’s public art collection showcases Bend’s entire collection of roundabout sculptures, standalone sculptures and other works of art including some drone photography of the collection.

“We are thrilled to capture new photography of the entire collection and debut our new website,” said Sue Hollern, President of AIPP. Art in Public Places has been placing art in our community since 1973 and the new website takes viewing Bend’s public art collection online to an entirely new level. The website was designed by Art and Marie Wirth of The Garage, a Bend Oregon Advertising Agency specializing in website design and development, online marketing campaigns, identity design and traditional advertising.

The photography on the AIPP website was taken by Senneh O’Reilly of Heirloom Images Photography.

Recent roundabouts sculptures include Gilded River at Murphy & Third Street and upcoming Three Rising at 15th & Reed Market in Spring 2018.

Visit Bend, an economic development organization to develop and build Bend’s tourism industry, created the Roundabout Art Route as a cultural tourism

driver. The Roundabout Art Route is a self-guided, interpretive tour of Bend’s extraordinary collection of over 20 pieces of public art on display throughout the city.

AIPP’s financial support primarily comes from The Bend Foundation, established by Brooks Resources Corporation, Brooks Scanlon, Inc. and shareholders of those companies, from the Be Part of Art campaign, and from private donations. Works of art are gifted to the City of Bend or other such entities such as Deschutes Public Library, Bend Parks & Recreation District, Central Oregon Community College and St. Charles Foundation.

Art in Public Places creates an enhanced visual environment for Bend residents and promotes tourism and economic vitality in the city through the artistic design of public spaces.

Seattle Artist Anna McKee Examines Receding Glaciers in Bend Art Center’s March Exhibit

A

nna McKee, a Seattle-based artist who has traveled to Antartica, continues her exploration of ice landscapes with her exhibit, “Glacier: Persistent Ice in Motion” opening at Bend Art Center in March.

McKee began sketching alpine glaciers about ten years ago near her home in the Pacific Northwest. Over the years, she has noticed a distinct decline in their extent.

McKee’s prints, drawings and gallery installation celebrate the beauty of these unique environments, and provide an Recession I by Anna McKee outlet to contemplate change and the grief associated with loss. There are sequenced drawings that project into a future imagined landscape, with shrinking ice and newly formed moraines. Other drawings focus on ice falls and crevasses within a glacier. Using both realistic renderings, and distorted abstractions, McKee’s work captures both a static point in time, as well as the dynamic nature of these changing masses of ice.

McKee will give an Art Talk on Saturday, March 3 at 5 pm. She will discuss her current work and share details of her project, Deep Ice, Deep Time. McKee will

elaborate on her sources of inspiration: field sketches, photographs, and scientific imaging of glaciers and ice cores. A recipient of the National Science Foundation Artist and Writers Program, McKee maintains ongoing dialogs with several prominent glaciology scientists to inform her work.

Also on display in March, Featured A6 Member Robin Thomas creates underpaintings with collagraph prints and ventures into bold color and abstraction with her new collection of mixed-media works. Thomas will be printing in the studio on First Friday, March 3, from 5-7 pm.

Art In The Atrium, Franklin Crossing

Divergence II

A Day Dream III

rt in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing, will be featuring acrylic paintings and monotypes by Michelle Lindblom through April 1. The artist will attend the March 2 First Friday opening.

Michelle Lindblom moved to Bend in 2015 and notes the impact of the move upon her art. She elaborates, “I acquired a renewed energy, depth and vibrancy within my work. With time to wander and wonder, I began to experience the subtleties of the high desert environment which seem to intuitively influence my art.”

Her solo exhibition at Franklin Crossing during March features mixed media artworks executed as monotypes, collages and acrylic paintings on canvas. Lindblom’s monotypes (numerous in the exhibition), as well as other presented artworks, reflect both in hue and expressionistic imagery the “intuitive influence” of her new environment. She remarks, “A reverence for and dialogue with my psyche and awareness of the nuances of everyday experiences are what my images portray.”

Lindblom’s move to Bend marked not only a shift in the artist’s

imagery and palette but a major career shift. During some prior 24 years of teaching art, initially in secondary schools and then higher education, the artist also earned a BA in Visual Art in New Orleans, and both a MS in Education Administration and a MFA at the University of North Dakota.

With two master’s level degrees, she taught at Bismarck State College, progressing through the tenure process from an Adjunct Visual Art Instructor to a full Professor of Visual Art. Concurrently, the artist exhibited in juried shows in both the US and Europe.

Leaving that nearly quarter-century of achievement and teaching others, Lindblom now works as a full time artist using her extensive formal experience plus intuition and spontaneity to instruct her own artistic evolution.

During First Friday, Noi Thai serves wine and appetizers and the Johnathan Bourke Trio performs with Bourke on guitar, Mark Karwin on bass and Kyle Pickard on drums.

Red Chair Member Artist, Janice Rhodes

B

end artist, Janice Rhodes is an encaustic artist that has had to explain to almost everyone that views her paintings what her paint medium is. Encaustic is a word that is new to most people, but it is an art form that has been around for centuries.

Encaustic is a Greek word meaning “to burn in”. Fayum mummy portraits from Ancient Greece can still be seen in museums today. The process has greatly improved over the centuries especially with the invention of electricity. Jasper Johns and Diego Rivera are two of the better known contemporary artists that painted with encaustics and brought the technique into the 20th century.

“I really enjoy explaining the encaustic process to people because it sets up a dialogue.” She explains that she melts pure beeswax and damar resin in a slow cooker. This clear medium is then brushed onto a birch board that has been primed with encaustic gesso. She has a pancake griddle of small tins of pigment that she now adds the medium to. “ This is my pallet. I paint layer upon layer and after each layer I heat with a heat gun or propane torch so that the layers fuse with one another.”

The wax medium cools immediately and has to be constantly Owl by Janice Rhodes warmed. Many artists use collage at this point, incising or texturing. Rhodes has included one or more of these techniques in many of her works.

“The process is a bit difficult to master, especially when your style is more realistic but I enjoy the challenge.” She says the idea that you begin a project with can easily become something else, but sometimes the unexpected is more interesting, often better.

Says Rhodes,“I like the small gifts that come with each surprise”. When you end up with a painting with luminous color as well as depth and texture, she believes it’s very much worth the effort.

Janice Rhodes is a Member of the High Desert Art League and a full time Member Artist at the Red Chair Gallery, 103 NW Oregon Ave. redchairgallerybend.com

Abstractions is an exploration of non-representational art. With a variety of Central Oregon artists participating in the show, they explore different interpretations of the term “abstract.” The dictionary defines the term as, “Emotional expression of an idea rather than a picture of a physical object.”

Another definition states, “Achieving an effect by grouping shapes and colors in satisfying patters rather than by the recognizable representation of physical reality.” Whatever an individual’s take is on the subject, this show provides a variety of creative artistic interpretations.

by David Wachs the past 24 months traveling the West, exploring from Taos, New Mexico to Big Sky, Montana and the Leavenworth, Washington environments.

Long Ago and Far Away, watercolor by Dorothy Moniz

ART TAKES NATURE AS ITS MODEL ...and our two featured artists for March certainly personify this principle.

A piece of the beauty and nature that surrounds us can be felt and seen in each of these works of art.

J

oin us March 10 from 4-6pm and meet many of the 30 Artists’ Gallery local artists….enjoy some food and wine and soak in all the art! The Gallery has some new exciting artists and we’re continually making changes to our gallery design and every month brings a new look!

Marily Badger is a fourth generation Hawaiian who has been a glass artist for over 30 years. She has lived in Central Oregon with her husband and son since 2010 and joined the gallery in 2012.

In Marily’s words, “Everyone has a passion, and mine is glass. From stained glass in college, evolving to intricately etched and deeply carved office doors, lobby mirrors and windows….spanning over three decades, to fused glass which brings me back to the brilliant colors. The way the glass catches the light, and the endless design options. The predictable way that glass changes form at various temperatures and the chemical reactions between certain colors is endlessly fascinating to me. I think my current ‘tack fuse’ is my favorite by far because it allows me to create dimensional pieces with layers and jewels and other embellishments that add

uniqueness to the pieces I create.”

Dorothy Moniz is one of the original gallery artists and her work has been a collector’s favorite over these past eight years. Dorothy’s pieces are a combination of watercolors, fabric art and collage.

Pictured above is a watercolor titled Long Ago and Far Away. This piece was inspired by a photo she took while driving in Eastern Oregon on Highway 395.

It was an old home that was long ago abandoned. The sky was beautiful that day as were the hills and grasses. The piece is a combination of watercolor and colored papers.

Another piece featured at the gallery is all fabric and inspired by a single piece of fabric Dorothy saw in a quilt shop. It just called to her to use it to form the beautiful sky in this landscape piece and it just evokes Central Oregon’s beautiful landscapes.

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents Central Oregon Mountain Drama featuring acrylic paintings by David Wachs of Bend. The exhibit continues through May 20, 2018.

David Wachs set a personal residency record living in the Tumalo and Bend area since 1992, bound by the spectacular beauty of the high desert and painting dramatic natural scenes. Recently, the artist spent the past 24 months traveling the West, exploring from Taos, New Mexico to Big Sky, Montana and the Leavenworth, Washington environments.

His rural, alpine travels yielded great reference for new artwork yet he choose to return to Bend as “it is truly the best place I’ve found.” Wachs’ exhibit reflects his affection for Central Oregon, his chosen home base.

The artist’s current images including The Dirty Side of Jefferson and Looking East Toward the Prow reveal his “solemn commitment to the landscape that inspires me to search out these unique organic forms that become my compositions. I distill and translate random and chaotic patters found in the wild into images that communicate my passion for the land I explore.”

The artist employs a “loose, gestural approach to surface quality and texture, composing my paintings from a peripheral perspective not unlike what you might see out of the corner of your eye while driving.” His paintings invite both close observation, noting harsh edges, separation of colors and brush strokes, as well as distant contemplation of sweeping, vast areas such as those of the Cascade Range.

Involved in art from an early age and citing influences ranging from Mossimo Vignelli and Wayne Thiebaud to Gerhard Richter, Wachs studied at Portland’s Museum Art School, Indiana State University and finished at Montana State University, Bozman.

His work appears in private and public collections including Citi Bank, Bank of the Cascades, US Bank (Portland), MODA (Bend), the Bend Bulletin and Oregon Public Broadcasting.

His photographs capture the beauty of the landscapes he has travelled through, including Wyoming, Montana & Oregon.

Wine Dinner Pairing Perfection

DINING

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop

D

o the angels sing when great wines meet a chef ’s undeniable talent? I know I do. And I was sure singing at Currents’ Chateau Ste. Michelle wine dinner, during which some of Washington’s tastiest vintages were brilliantly paired with some of Bend’s best cuisine.

The evening, which took place in the private dining room, started out with flutes of Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut and pass-around appetizers of endive with blue cheese and white truffle oil along with tiny puff pastries topped with smoke salmon and caviar. Hello! Talk about a way to break the ice and help guests mingle before the main event.

After half an hour or so, we all sat at a long table to an amuse bouche of translucently tender poached lobster in a fluffy citrus cream with green onion ribbons. Lobster? Citrus cream? Perfectly paired sparkling wine that offset the shellfish’s slight sweetness? Really? If this had been a guy courting me, I would have already said yes.

Rich, velvety foie Gras Torchon with glazed apple, brioche and maldon salt followed. The dish was as balanced as the 2015 Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay it was served with, which somehow managed to hit buttery as well as crispy pear and apple notes.

I’m not much of a rabbit eater, but I did enjoy the rabbit tortellini in a light rabbit consommé (poured over the pasta from pitchers by the evening’s top-notch servers) and capped with pepper cress. While I didn’t love the dish as much as my friend Viv, who would order it monthly if Currents put it on the menu, I did downright adore how the peppery 2013 Canoe Ridge Estate Merlot played off the rabbit and the slightly bitter greens. I wasn’t the only one. “This paring is off the chain,” announced my friend Leah. I even loved the different glasses the wines were served in.

This double pairing perfection is not a coincidence. Currents’ manager Ben Edel chose

his favorite Chateau Ste. Michelle wines, then turned the menu over to superbly talented executive chef Michael Stanton. In the meantime, Ben and a friend tasted all the wines in a variety of glassware and figured out which pairings worked best on that front. (Note to Ben: I’d be more than happy to help you out with that next time.)

We moved on to roasted quail with grains, dried cherry and cassis jus, perfectly accented by the 2012 Artist Series Red blend. In keeping with a food journey that featured tastes not often found in Central Oregon, we then enjoyed the ISR Lamb Saddle with black trumpet mushrooms baby leek and fig. The lamb was not overly gamey and impeccably prepared, and the combination, which initially struck me as surprising, was ridiculously delicious. Add in the accompanying 2013 Ethos Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon with its complex depth, and who could ask for anything more?

The evening closed with a chocolate tart with candied kumquat and a graham-cracker crust.

This decadence-on-a-plate was served with a delightful 2015 Widbeys Washington port. After finishing that glass, I just had to see what it tasted like with the peppery merlot. Winner, winner, winemaker’s dinner!

“To new friends, good wine and great food,” announced Chateau Ste. Michelle winemaker Raymon McKee at the start of the dinner that would so brilliantly showcase his wines. I’ll drink to that and to many more winemaker dinners at Currents, starting with the next one on April 12, in which Marietta Cellars’ Rhone- and Bordeauxstyle wines will be featured.

trio of young musicians, winners of the Central Oregon Symphony (COS) Association’s 2018 Young Artist Competition, will take the stage during COS’s winter season three-concert run, February 24-26, at the Bend High School auditorium. Shows will be Saturday at 7:30pm, Sunday at 3pm and Monday at 7:30pm. The symphony is a cooperative effort between Central Oregon Community College (COCC) and the nonprofit COS Association. Admission to the performances is free, but tickets are required.

“These are some of the most talented young performers throughout the Pacific Northwest,” said Michael Gesme, COS conductor. “Each of these three has amassed a resume of accomplishments that belies their relatively young ages.” Christopher Yoon, of Portland, third place winner, will perform Franz Liszt’s dramatic “Piano Concerto No. 1.” Second place finisher Violinist Nicholas Dill, from Hockinson, Washington, will perform the first movement of Felix Mendelssohn’s “Violin Concerto in E Minor.”

Jenna Tu, of Vancouver, Washington, with first place honors, will entertain with the third movement of Rachmaninoff ’s “Piano Concerto No. 2.”

The concert also features four orchestral works, including Franz von Suppe’s “Poet and Peasant Overture” and “Norwegian Rhapsody No. 1” by Johan Halvorsen. “Both of these compositions are filled with wildly contrasting sections,” added Gesme. Two intermezzos from the world of Italian romantic opera, by Giacomo Puccini and Pietro Mascagni, will round out the concert.

For additional information and tickets, visit cosymphony.com or call 541-317-3941.

MUSIC The Ten Tenors Sets U.S. Tour in Celebration of 20th Anniversary & Release of Wish You Were Here, #1 Album in Australia TTT Pays Tribute to Prince, Bowie, Lennon & More

T

he TEN Tenors, one of Australia’s most successful international touring acts, having performed in 29 countries to date, has announced a spring tour across the U.S. with performance dates in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington over the course of the next two months. The tour, set to play 22 cities in 26 dates, is in celebration of the group’s 20th anniversary, and the release of Wish You Were Here, an album of material associated with iconic performs who have passed on including Prince, David Bowie, Michael Hutchence of INXS, John Lennon, Amy Winehouse, Queen’s Freddy Mercury, Roy Orbison and others. Wish You Were Here will be released in the US by Sony Masterworks on March 2.

“We were rehearsing Bowie’s “Heroes” in Melbourne for the very first time when news came to us of his death,” said TTT producer D-J Wendt. “It had a marked impact on the band and performing that song has taken on a whole new meaning. While on tour just a few months later, we learned of the loss of Prince, another monumental talent, and as 2016 continued we knew our next album should pay tribute to those artists who departed before their time. We wanted to rise about the sadness to create a musical celebration to their respective lives and legacies.” Thus, the idea behind Wish You Were Here came forth.

Fun, impressive and with enough energy to power a mid-size city, The TEN Tenors bring to the USA their explosive 20th anniversary show, straight off a stellar national tour across Australia in 2017. On the heels of that tour, the group came to the States in December of last year and toured select markets for three intensive weeks with sell-out performances in Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York, South Carolina and Georgia.

The Wish You Were Here tour is a journey through some of the world’s greatest hits. From classic rock anthems of Queen and Bowie through Australia’s own Jon English and Michael Hutchence, and even unique “tenorial” take material by Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse. The tour’s repertoire is a true representation of the world’s most popular songbook.

Concertgoers will experience songs ranging from Leonard Cohen’s elegiac Hallelujah” to Michael Jackson’s soulful The Way You Make Me Feel, celebrating great artistry that transcends generations and genres.

The spring tour comes after last year’s sojourn across the US where the group’s eight consecutive sold-out shows at the spectacular McCallum Theatre in Palm Springs broke a thirty-year record held by the great Johnny Mathis. Over the course of just five years, the group has sold out 29 shows at the venue.

The TEN Tenors has previously released thirteen albums including the platinum smash Tenology, and the goldcertified Here’s To The Heroes. They have been a strong presence on music charts in Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and elsewhere. In the US, they have been guests on Oprah, The Today Show and have shared bills with Andrea Bocelli, Christina Aguilera and Keith Urban, becoming one of Australia’s best-loved touring attractions. In 2016, their album Our Christmas Wish broke the Top 10 on the Billboard Classical and Classical Crossover charts, and then broke the Top 10 the following year on the Billboard Classical Catalog chart.

The TEN Tenors take Wish You Were Here on the road, across the US in February and March. The opportunity to experience the power and presence of The TEN Tenors live in concert is not one to be missed.

This multi-award winning group comes to Central Oregon from County Clare on the west coast of Ireland, the universal hub of Irish traditional music. Infusing their traditional heritage with their own youthful, personal flair has earned them accolades including “New Band of the Year” by the Irish Music Association.

The band is comprised of Aodán Coyne on guitar and vocals, and the accomplished Hayes brothers, Shane Hayes on accordion and Fiachra Hayes on fiddle and banjo. Each member is an accomplished solo musician in their own right with solo albums and performances in addition to awards. They have all earned the respect and admiration of their peers and critics alike for their modern and energetic approach to their music.

The group has embraced the United States, having been booked by every major Irish festival. Their onstage wit has captivated audiences around the world, and soon the worldwide “Sock Invasion” will continue in Central Oregon with two performances on Sunday and a musical outreach to local schools on Monday.

Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz to Welcome Taylor Eigsti Quartet

M

t. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz welcomes Grammy nominee, pianist Taylor Eigsti ( John Mayer, Joshua Redman, Christian McBride, Esperanza Spalding, Dave Brubeck, Chris Botti, Sting), who was acclaimed by Brubeck as "the most amazing talent I've ever come across,". At just 31 years old, Taylor Eigsti embodies the future of jazz. He swings, he harkens the masters, but his voice is all his own. Be prepared to simply be blown away. He was labeled a prodigy very soon after starting to study piano, at the age of 4. He has released seven albums as a band leader and received two Grammy nominations (Best Jazz Solo, Best Instrumental Composition).

Eigsti has composed music for symphony orchestras and played some of the world’s most iconic venues (Carnegie Hall, Hollywood Bowl, Vienna Konzerthaus). Taylor leads a quartet of virtuoso musicians that includes bassist Harish Raghavan (Kurt Elling, Billy Childs, Vijay Iyer, Benny Green, Ambrose Akinmusire), perhaps the most sought after drummer in the jazz world, multi-Grammy nominated Eric Harland (Betty Carter, Esperanza Spalding, Wynton Marsalis, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Charles Lloyd) on drums, and Grammy winning guitarist Julian Lage (Béla Fleck, Fred Hersch, Dayna Stephens, Gary Burton). Lage, 30, another child prodigy, was the subject of the 1997 film Jules at Eight. At age 13 he performed at the 2000 Grammy Awards, and he has been a faculty member at the Stanford Jazz Project since the age of 15.

5th Annual “The Gift of Music”

Cascade School of Music’s Gala fundraiser for children’s music education!

C

ascade School of Music’s 5th annual gala fundraising event promises to delight and inspire all who attend.

This year’s theme of “Painted Violins” will feature violins hand-painted by gifted, generous local artists and will be silent auctioned. Proceeds from this sale will go directly to our tuition assistance program.

A 5:30 cocktail hour featuring great wines and ales will be accompanied by a passed amuse bouche. Student ensembles will welcome guests, and a surprise musical opportunity will be provided to adventurous attendees.

During cocktail hour, the last raffle tickets will be offered for the donated new and iconic 1960’s style Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Guitar (raffle to be drawn at evenings end). If you are unable to attend the event, raffle tickets for the guitar, and gala event, may be purchased online.

A three course gourmet dinner is provided, accompanied by student cellists and violins softly playing, complemented by fabulous wines and a live auction filled with fabulous trip packages, an “instant wine cellar”, several heavenly wine dinners and much more.

“Our mission is to provide a continuum of extraordinary music education to Central Oregonians, regardless of their ability to pay” said Kate Hanni, Development Director. “Only 60 percent of the cost to keep our lights on comes from tuition paying students. The remainder comes from our community and this fundraising event, which is fundamental to our success . We never turn a student away.”

Cascade School of Music has recently partnered with organizations whose populations may not have access to music education, i.e. the Latino Community Association, REACH, Mountainstar Relief Nursery, and Bend Boys and Girls Club. Our expanded outreach is largely due to the generous donations, artist contributions, corporate sponsorships, table sponsorships, grants and most importantly attendance at this fundamental to our future programming event.

Tickets are $75 before April 6, $100 after April 6. Table Sponsorships are available at $1,000 (8 seats per table) A great way to support: “The Sound of Human Potential” cascadeschoolofmusic.org

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic

R

ecording both as Parliament and Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&B during the ’70s, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from several late-’60s acid heroes: Jimi Hendrix,Frank Zappa and Sly Stone. The Parliament/Funkadelicmachine ruled black music during the ’70s, capturing over 40 R&B hit singles (including three number ones) and recording three platinum albums.

Born in Kannapolis, NC, on July 22, 1941, Clinton became interested in doo wop while living in New Jersey during the early ’50s.

Inspired by Motown‘s assembly line of sound, George Clinton gradually put together a collective of over 50 musicians and recorded the ensemble during the ’70s both as Parliament and Funkadelic. While Funkadelic pursued band-format psychedelic rock, Parliament engaged in a funk free-for-all, blending influences from the godfathers ( James Brown and Sly Stone) with freaky costumes and themes inspired by ’60s acid culture and science fiction. From its 1970 inception until Clinton’s dissolving of Parliament in 1980, Clinton hit the R&B Top Ten several times but truly excelled in two other areas: large-selling, effective album statements and the most dazzling, extravagant live show in the business.

The early ’90s saw the rise of funk-inspired rap and funk rock that re-established the status of Clinton & co. as one of the most important forces in the recent history of black music. Clinton’s music became the soundtrack for the rap movement, as artists from MC Hammer, to LL Cool J to Snoop Dogg depended heavily on the infectious groove of Clinton productions as the foundation of their recordings.

Clinton has received a Grammy, a Dove (gospel) , and a MTV music video awards, and has been recognized by BMI, the NAACP Image Awards and Motown Alumni Association for lifetime achievement. Clinton’s Partliament/Funkadelic

was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

In reviewing Clinton’s illustrious career and success as a producer / writer/ performer, perhaps his greatest achievement stemmed from his relentless dedication to funk as a musical form. Funk as a musical style had been around for what seems like forever, deeply rooted in the music traditions of New Orleans and the Blues of the Deep South. Following the lead – and commercial success – of James Brown and Sly Stone, Clinton took Funk to new heights, blending elements of Jazz, Rock, Pop, Classical and even Gospel into his productions, eventually developing a unique and easily identifiable style affectionately called “Pfunk.” Clinton’s inspiration, dedication and determination resulted in the elevation of “funk” music to complete recognition and acceptance as a true genre in and of itself.

On February 16th, 2012 George Clinton added to his list of accomplishments a Honorary Doctorate of Music from the renowed Berklee College of Music.

Parallel 44 Presents Donavon Frankenreiter & John Craigie at The Domino Room on March 7

onavon Frankenreiter’s new album, The Heart, officially marks the start of the singer-songwriter’s second decade as a solo recording artist. It’s been over ten years since the release of his self-titled debut, and in that time he has grown, not only as a musician, but also as a man. He’s raising a family and nurturing two creative careers-one onstage, one in the waves-but on top of all that, he’s still learning what makes him tick. And so, naturally, he named his album after his ticker.

“All these songs are as close to me singing from the heart as I can,” says Frankenreiter. “It’s a complete record; the songs are intertwined. I had to call it The Heart, that was the theme of the record.”

The songs here are seriously sentimental, without question the heaviest material he has released to date. Part of that inspiration came from his cowriter, the prolific songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips, with whom Frankenreiter had collaborated in the past on his album Pass It Around. He recognized the ease with which the two worked together and sent Phillips a handful of new tunes and ideas. He was astonished at the brilliance of the songs that came back, and so quickly, but also by one of Phillips’ suggestions in particular.

“Grant told me, ‘You should make the most intimate and honest record you’ve ever made,’” says Frankenreiter. “So these songs are simple and intimate and honest, they aren’t cheeky. There’s some ups and downs-I love writing positive songs and happy tunes, but there are some downers here. I feel like it’s where I’m at, 42 years old. Every one of these songs means a lot to me. They’re from the heart.”

The song Little Shack was culled from someone who shares Frankenreiter’s heartbeat: his 12-year-old son, Hendrix. “One night, at home in Hawaii, I was trying to write songs and my son was jamming on his electric,” he says. “I was like, ‘What is that song?’ and he said, ‘It’s just something I’ve been working on.’

He taught it to me, and I recorded it that night and sent it to Grant. Twentyfour hours later, Grant sent back the words. It kinda has that vibe of two people getting together: it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, I got everything I need right in front of me. It sounded like I wrote it, and Hendrix wrote the music. That was the first time that’s ever happened.”

A decade into his career, Donavon Frankenreiter has learned to listen to his ticker above all else. Doing so has allowed the light to come in from all the corners of his world, even those where there is darkness. Sharing the load with those he trusts, and especially with those he loves, he has seized the opportunity to take control of his craft, on his own terms, and to follow his own beat.

“I went into this album saying I wanted to make songs I love,” he says.

“Whatever feels right, go ahead and record it, and worry about what happens after, afterwards. I’m proud of it. I go back to the title of the album, and in the song ‘You and Me,’ that chorus: ‘It’s gotta be from the heart/for it to start’...

There’s so many things going on out there, everybody’s moving to the beat of a different drum, but I feel like all good things start from the heart.”

21+ Doors 8:30pm. Show 9pm. Advance tickets are $20 and will go up to $25 at the door. parallel44presents.com

New Perspective for March

T

his month starts out with the first of two Full Moons on the 1st and it brings opportunities. Conversations over the next few days will be cooperative and insightful. Dream big about the future on the 4th as past situations find closure. Speak from the heart on the 6th and realize you are asking for something new. Decisions are made on the 10th and realize the changes will be starting almost immediately. Notice how much support you have on the 11th and move forward with confidence.

Challenges on the 13th require faith and a willingness to let go of the past.

The New Moon on the 17th reinforces how important it is to believe in your choices. The Spring Equinox on the 20th brings attention to personal needs and whether you are making yourself important. Slow down on the 22nd and realize how necessary it is to listen. A flexible attitude will be helpful on the

24th as you are doing things that may feel unfamiliar. Be receptive to what the world is offering and be open to doing something different.

Relationships are changing on the 28th and an open mind will be helpful as you maneuver through the changes. A strong need for definition on the 30th could lead you to make more decisions. The second Full Moon or “Blue Moon” on the 31st invites you to take a chance. Open your heart to new relationships and remind yourself that you are ready.
