This Sunday afternoon, when it might be in the 80s, you can attend a concert of chamber music or an orchestra concert. Both programs contain new music.
Celebration Works: Upbeat/Downtown with the Alder Street Sextet
The Alder Street Sextet (Maria Choban, piano; Janet Bebb, flute; Ann van Bever, oboe; Nanita NcIlhattan, clarinet; Boyd Osgood, bassoon; David Crane, French horn) present an eclectic program of works for winds and piano, including: “Six Bagatells” for wind quintet by Gyorgy Ligeti, an homage to Bartok and Stravinsky; “Miniatures” for flute, oboe and piano by WIlliam Grant Still, inspired by folk songs from around the world; and the world premier of “Chehalem Sketches,” a work for piano and winds by George Fox University composition professor Brent Weaver. “Chehalem Sketches” was written specifically for the Alder Street Sextet and was inspired by the scenery and ethos of the Pacific Northwest.
Violinist Marya Kazmierski, violist Hunter Petty, cellist Betsy Goy and bassist Marc Bescond will join the wind players in two nonets: “Mouvements Perpetuels,” Op. 14 by Poulenc; and “Nonet” by Bohuslav Martinu.
Concert venue: First Presbyterian Church, 1200 S.W. Alder
Tickets are sold at the door. Adults: $10. Students/Seniors: $8. Free parking in underground garage at SW 12th and Morrison. For more information, please contact the church office during normal business hours (503) 228-7331.
