Live or Recorded: Live Event

In a season of stories told through dance, we finish by creating our own. For this program we ask, “What have you heard about Portland, and how does it make you feel?” To explore this theme, we have commissioned renowned choreographers from near and far to share their vision of our city: Princess Grace Award winner Rena Butler, Guggenheim Fellow Helen Simoneau, push/FOLD Founder and Director Samuel Hobbs, and OBT’s own rising star, Makino Hayashi. This is only the tip of the iceberg as we invite Portland artists — musicians, painters, writers—to explore what it means to live in this city through a fully immersive theater experience.

Father and son, Mando and Orlando, are living different versions of the American Dream. Honduran-born Mando built a successful janitorial business, and can pay for his son’s fancy private school. Over-privileged Orlando enjoys the fruits of his father’s labor, but is embarrassed by his old-fashioned ideas and line of work. When the business faces turmoil just as Orlando is going through a crisis of his own, the two must face tough truths about citizenship, business, love, and the importance of family, in order to keep their dreams alive in a society that won’t let them truly belong.

Ah, love! That most universal of human emotions. It can engender so much: beauty, happiness, transcendence, confusion, heartbreak, resentment, murder…and children. Join one of Portland’s newest vocal groups, the Radix Vocal Ensemble, for an eclectic, entertaining celebration of love in all of its manifestations.

Delight in the lush, intricate perfection of medieval motets by Dunstable and Machaut; savor the beauty of time-tested folk melodies in “Durme, Durme” (arr. Parker) and “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme” (arr. Coates); pat your foot to Taylor Kuntz’s absolutely swingin’ close-harmony jazz arrangement of “Shiny Stockings” or the laid-back groove of “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” arranged by Radix member Naama Friedman. Hear fundamental truth in musical form in Ysaye Barnwell’s “On Children”; ponder the dark side of sisterly love in a new setting of the folk ballad “The Singing Bones” by Radix director Amy Stuart Hunn; and our closer will have you dancing in the aisles (sorry, you’ll have to come to find out what it is)!

The Jewish Community Orchestra is proud to present our 48th season finale. This concert is dedicated to our Principal Bassoon and long time Board member, Cara Brauner, who passed away suddenly on April 20th. Her cheerful spirit, deep love of classical music, and dedication to the Jewish Community Orchestra of Portland will be sorely missed.

We’ll start the evening with the Overture to “Die Fledermaus” by Johann Strauss. This iconic piece sets the tone for an evening of musical magic, with its lively rhythms that will transport you straight to the halls of Vienna.

Following this, we are honored to perform the world premiere of the Folksong Suite for Strings and Timpani, written by Frederick Naftel. This is an incredible opportunity to witness a brand new composition by a living Jewish composer. Frederick received an award from the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Foundation in May 2020, having been nominated for a prize by Sir James MacMillan.

The season finale culminates with the magnificent Symphony No. 2 in D, op. 73 by Brahms. From the soaring melodies to the intricate harmonies, this piece is a testament to the power and beauty of classical music.

Whether you are a long-time member of our audience or brand new, we are excited to share this concert with you and look forward to seeing you on June 11th!

Poetry and music, two of the most evocative art forms, are often intertwined to create an interdisciplinary experience called art song.
