In Good Hands

Saturday, July 18

Lincoln Recital Hall

1000 SW Broadway, Portland

Presented by Cascadia Composers

Pre-college students will perform pieces written by Cascadia Composers. Some will perform music written specifically for them; others will present works selected by their teachers from a score call to all 100+ Cascadia members. In either case, the composers collaborate with the students to develop their performance and further their understanding of the piece and of contemporary music in general—a unique opportunity for the students and a rewarding experience for the composers.

Cycles of Life is a concert of music for voice and piano, together and in solos, exploring the experiences and emotions we encounter as we navigate the path of life. 

The music is lyrical, dramatic, funny, and poignant, with works exploring the sleepless excitement of your first crush and the night before your wedding, the loneliness of losing a loved one or moving away from home, the joy of feeling at home in your body, the search for gratitude in the face of struggle, the loving protection of parents for their children during a time of climate crisis, and more.

Cycles of Life is a unique concert in that performers Dianne Davies, piano, and Lisa Neher, mezzo-soprano are also the composers of the music you will hear. They bring their perspectives as composer-performers and their lens as women creators to this program. Soprano Lindsey Rae Johnson joins them for several vocal duets and Kaleb Davies joins on percussion. 

Experience Cycles of Life in an intimate house concert venue in West Linn, Oregon, while enjoying appetizers and wine, and get to know the artists after the concert. Hosted by Linda and Connelly Woody.
