 Un Menu Musical, with guest conductor Dr. Bruce Browne
Saturday, June 2, 2012 8:00 pm Agnes Flanagan Chapel, Lewis & Clark College 0615 Southwest Palatine Hill Road, Portland, OR 97219 Sunday, June 3, 2012 3:00 pm Vancouver First United Methodist Church, Vancouver, WA 401 East 33rd Street, Vancouver, WA 98663 Resonance welcomes Dr. Bruce Browne back to Portland to conduct this French musical feast! Because our Artistic Director Katherine FitzGibbon will be away on sabbatical from Lewis & Clark researching German requiems in the Third Reich in Berlin, we have the wonderful opportunity to work with Bruce Browne, retired from Portland State University, Portland Symphonic Choir, and Choral Cross-Ties. Dr. Browne will take us on a musical journey through exceptional French literature, designed to mirror an extravagant multi-course French meal. The main course will consist of movements from Poulenc's anti-war Figure Humaine and works from Janequin to Ravel, but we promise to have some fun "amuse-bouche" to tickle your musical palate: French folk music, music from Haiti, and even some French chansons by none other than Leonard Bernstein. In true Resonance style, we are pairing each musical course with visual art projections, selected by Lewis & Clark art professor Benjamin David. Concert tickets are available online. To get you in the mood, we invite you to join us for our end-of-season French reception at an elegant nearby home prior to the June 2nd concert in Portland, with French wines, cheeses, and pastries. Assurément délicieux! Tickets for this special reception are $25 (ages 21 and over only, please). The reception begins at 6:00 p.m. and will include brief remarks by Benjamin David. Reception tickets are available online. Our June 2nd performance is funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council and Work for Art.   |
