Dia Do Choro
Friday March 6, 7:30pm
Walters Cultural Arts Center, Hillsboro
Friday March 6, 7:30pm
Walters Cultural Arts Center, Hillsboro
Choro is to Brazil what jazz is to the US—an urban hybrid of influences from Africa, Europe, and the Western hemisphere, with an emphasis on improvisation. Choro music evokes in turn the carnival of Rio and the cafés of France, Spain, and Portugal. To honor the music’s long tradition, music of legendary choro composers like Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, Ernesto Nazareth, and Antonio Carlos Jobim will take center stage, alongside more contemporary sounds, including syncopations derived from later interactions between choro and American jazz and other Brazilian musical forms like bossa nova and samba. Take this opportunity to sample one of the world’s richest musical traditions brought to you by world-class Northwest bands.

Caminhos Cruzados

PCC Rock Creek
Tuesday February 25, 7:30pm
PCC Rock Creek
Experience Music Series at PCC Rock Creek presents Caminhos Cruzados -- Jazz guitar, Spanish flamenco, Brazilian bossa nova and West African polyrhythms cross paths in this Portland-based trio. Caminhos Cruzados means "cross roads" or "paths crossed" in Portuguese and several disparate musical traditions do just that in this band. The trio features renowned jazz guitarist Dan Balmer, guitarist Nat Hulskamp, percussionist Israel Annoh, and special guest vocalist Lamiae Naki from Morocco. Dan Balmer has long been considered one of the finest guitarists, composers, and educators in the Northwest, and has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times as, “the model of what a contemporary guitarist should be.” Nat Hulskamp studied ethnomusicology at the University of Washington, and in addition to flamenco guitar plays the Arabic oud. He has studied flamenco extensively in Spain and performs with Shabava Persian Ensemble, the Nat Hulskamp Trio and the nationally known world music group Seffarine (with Lamiae Naki). Israel Annoh is a renowned master percussionist originally from Ghana. His style has its roots in Ghanaian and other West African music as well as jazz greats such as Max Roach. He has played with Highlife pioneer E.T. Mensah and Obo Addy. Lamiae Naki was born in the city of Fes and was drawn to music from a young age. She began singing, writing songs, and using every resource to find new music and influences from widely varying cultures. Lamiae has also studied Andalusian music and other forms of classical Arabic music in Fes, and has continued to creatively apply her expertise in Moroccan and Andalusian music to many other traditions. This is a public concert in conjunction with MUS 105 – Music Appreciation class. The series continues throughout the school year and is sponsored by grants from the Reser Family Foundation, the City of Beaverton Arts Program, the Cultural Coalition of Washington County and the Oregon Cultural Trust. ADMISSION Donations welcomed! All concerts are free for PCC students Concert starts at 7:30pm — PCC Rock Creek Campus 17705 NW Springville Rd Portland, OR 97229 / Building 3 / Forum / Parking is $2 (permits available at parking machines).

Steve HawkinsWe are sad to report the passing of PGS's faithful friend and board member, Steve Hawkins. Steve had been battling cancer on and off over the last few years, and succumbed to pneumonia in December 2019. Peter Zisa writes: "My friendship with Steve Hawkins spans 20 years. I fondly remember the story he told about his cat which inspired the piece he played at our first meeting. He was a storyteller. When my young students (Travis Johnson, Eric Kim, Nathan Taylor, Gracie Flowerday...) played he always expressed respect and encouragement to them. Last November, he was so very proud to pass his duties leading PGS Monthly Meetings to the young man he long admired, championed, and loved. When we began Season of Lights FREE Holiday Program, Steve agreed to do the sound at the Old Church at no charge. In each of thirteen years that followed, Steve did the sound with Ken Ewing with only one exception, the year he was seriously ill in the hospital. Steve will be dearly missed, but especially by those of us who knew him as friend. " |

James Kline
Tuesday, April 30th, 7pm
House of Doolescu
House Concert, NE Portland
Classical guitarist, composer, singer-songwriter, innovator of the 19 string arch harp guitar, James Kline is an artist who constantly renews and reinvents himself.
As a classical guitarist he studied in Spain under a full scholarship from the Spanish government. There he won a number of international awards, including the Ramirez Prize of Santiago de Compostella and the Tarrega Pize of Benicasim. He holds an ARCM diploma from The Royal College of Music of London and has performed throughout eastern and western Europe as well as the United States and Mexico. He has also gained recognition as a composer and was awarded an Individual Artist Grant in music composition from the Marin Arts Council of California.
As a singer-songwritter, James draws inspiration from a slightly more unusual life experience which includes years working as a commercial fisherman, working as a wilderness guide, extensive travel on four continents, and living among Mexico�s Tarahumara Indians. An interest in Renaissance and Baroque music led him to design his own version of the eleven string arch guitar, an instrument which combines the best qualities of the lute and the guitar. The urge to expand his horizons and dedicate more time to composing led James to co- found the neo Celtic group Bardou with whom he performs regularly. He has again reinvented his instrument to become the world�s only player of the 19 string arch harp guitar, a combination of lute, guitar, and Celtic harp.
A modern day troubadour, his performances reflect a wonderful diversity of life experience and musical intrigue and are often punctuated with story telling.
