From the Mantis Shrimp—who engages in a one-on-one , matador-like challenge with a threatening octopus—to the Green Sea Turtle—who allows schools of fish aestheticians to clean its shell of unwanted algae—Deep Sea focuses on the remarkable and often surprising alliances struck between some of the world's most unusual creatures.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

WALTERS CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES FEATURING RED SNEAKER, THE OREGON RENAISSANCE BAND, DE ORGANOGRAPHIA AND THE PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT Hillsboro, Oregon – The Walters Cultural Arts Center is proud to announce a new concert series called the Walters Chamber Music Series (WCMS). This absolutely unstuffy series is a feast of classical music for listeners of all ages.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Walters Chamber Series season tickets are also available: all eight shows for $99 or any four for $49. The Red Sneaker family friendly concert “Tales and Scales,” in September, will be an evening of narrative music. Red Sneaker musicians will share the stage with actors to weave together music and story in a performance that is perfect for classical music enthusiasts of all ages. Neist and his chamber players’ quest to bring classical music to everyone will draw you into the world of classical music with this engrossing program. It is sure to be a memorable and fun filled evening. Friday, September 18th at 8pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show.

Friday, October 16th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In November, Red Sneaker will bring a rich American tapestry of sound with “American Composers.” A melting pot of cultures is reflected in this concert as Red Sneaker explores America’s search for a musical identity influenced by folk, jazz, blues, and pop styles.

The Oregon Renaissance Band will join us in December for “An Early Christmas from Many Nations” featuring Renaissance and Early Baroque Holiday Music.

This group will be directed Philip and Gayle Neuman and sponsored by the Early Music Guild of Oregon. Friday, December 18th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. The study of a composer’s personal correspondence gives us deep insight into his musical work, which is the purpose and appeal of Red Sneaker’s “Letters” performance in January. Join Neist, his chamber players, and some guest actors on this exploration of several different composers’ letters in connection with their music written during those periods. Friday, January 15th, at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Please join us in February for “A Coming of Spring” performance with De Organographia.

In March, Red Sneaker will be joining the WCMS again to celebrate the year 1924. This was the most explosive decade of the century, especially for art, fashion and music. Friday, March 12th at 8 pm. Tickets are only $15 in advance and $17 day of show. We will conclude our 2009-2010 season of the Walters Chamber Music Series in April with The Portland Cello Project. This concert is “suitable for all demographics: boogie-ing grannies, head nodding hipsters, budding middle-school musicians, and everyone in between.” Witness the phenomena on Friday, April 23rd at 8 pm. Tickets are only $15 in advance and $17 day of show. We hope you join us for one or even all eight performances. These are not ordinary, sleep-inducing concerts – they are vibrant musical events presented by outstanding musicians – some in red sneakers!

From the Mantis Shrimp—who engages in a one-on-one , matador-like challenge with a threatening octopus—to the Green Sea Turtle—who allows schools of fish aestheticians to clean its shell of unwanted algae—Deep Sea focuses on the remarkable and often surprising alliances struck between some of the world's most unusual creatures.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

WALTERS CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES FEATURING RED SNEAKER, THE OREGON RENAISSANCE BAND, DE ORGANOGRAPHIA AND THE PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT Hillsboro, Oregon – The Walters Cultural Arts Center is proud to announce a new concert series called the Walters Chamber Music Series (WCMS).

Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Walters Chamber Series season tickets are also available: all eight shows for $99 or any four for $49. The Red Sneaker family friendly concert “Tales and Scales,” in September, will be an evening of narrative music. Red Sneaker musicians will share the stage with actors to weave together music and story in a performance that is perfect for classical music enthusiasts of all ages. Neist and his chamber players’ quest to bring classical music to everyone will draw you into the world of classical music with this engrossing program. It is sure to be a memorable and fun filled evening. Friday, September 18th at 8pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show.

Friday, October 16th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In November, Red Sneaker will bring a rich American tapestry of sound with “American Composers.” A melting pot of cultures is reflected in this concert as Red Sneaker explores America’s search for a musical identity influenced by folk, jazz, blues, and pop styles.

This group will be directed Philip and Gayle Neuman and sponsored by the Early Music Guild of Oregon. Friday, December 18th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. The study of a composer’s personal correspondence gives us deep insight into his musical work, which is the purpose and appeal of Red Sneaker’s “Letters” performance in January. Join Neist, his chamber players, and some guest actors on this exploration of several different composers’ letters in connection with their music written during those periods. Friday, January 15th, at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Please join us in February for “A Coming of Spring” performance with De Organographia.

Tickets are only $15 in advance and $17 day of show. We will conclude our 2009-2010 season of the Walters Chamber Music Series in April with The Portland Cello Project.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

It is sure to be a memorable and fun filled evening. Friday, September 18th at 8pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show.

The study of a composer’s personal correspondence gives us deep insight into his musical work, which is the purpose and appeal of Red Sneaker’s “Letters” performance in January.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

Walters Chamber Music Series - Event ends April 23, 2010

WALTERS CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES FEATURING RED SNEAKER, THE OREGON RENAISSANCE BAND, DE ORGANOGRAPHIA AND THE PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT Hillsboro, Oregon – The Walters Cultural Arts Center is proud to announce a new concert series called the Walters Chamber Music Series (WCMS). This absolutely unstuffy series is a feast of classical music for listeners of all ages. In its debut season, the 2009-2010 series will consist of eight shows and feature Tylor Neist’s chamber ensemble Red Sneaker along with the Oregon Renaissance Band, De Organographia and The Portland Cello Project. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Walters Chamber Series season tickets are also available: all eight shows for $99 or any four for $49. The Red Sneaker family friendly concert “Tales and Scales,” in September, will be an evening of narrative music. Red Sneaker musicians will share the stage with actors to weave together music and story in a performance that is perfect for classical music enthusiasts of all ages. Neist and his chamber players’ quest to bring classical music to everyone will draw you into the world of classical music with this engrossing program. It is sure to be a memorable and fun filled evening. Friday, September 18th at 8pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In October, Red Sneaker’s “Fright Night” will give you chills in this strange holiday concert – powerful, haunting and surreal chamber music that is unlike anything usually experienced on a chamber music stage. Friday, October 16th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In November, Red Sneaker will bring a rich American tapestry of sound with “American Composers.” A melting pot of cultures is reflected in this concert as Red Sneaker explores America’s search for a musical identity influenced by folk, jazz, blues, and pop styles. Friday, November 20th at 8pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. The Oregon Renaissance Band will join us in December for “An Early Christmas from Many Nations” featuring Renaissance and Early Baroque Holiday Music. Thirteen musicians will sing and play period instruments including harp, recorder, sackbuts, curtal, bagpipes, lute, guitar, racket, violin, and others. This group will be directed Philip and Gayle Neuman and sponsored by the Early Music Guild of Oregon. Friday, December 18th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. The study of a composer’s personal correspondence gives us deep insight into his musical work, which is the purpose and appeal of Red Sneaker’s “Letters” performance in January. Join Neist, his chamber players, and some guest actors on this exploration of several different composers’ letters in connection with their music written during those periods. Friday, January 15th, at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Please join us in February for “A Coming of Spring” performance with De Organographia. This concert specializes in the music of four distinct periods: Antiquity, Medieval, Renaissance, and the 19th century – all performed on period instruments or faithful reproductions. This group will be directed Philip and Gayle Neuman and sponsored by the Early Music Guild of Oregon. Friday February 19th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In March, Red Sneaker will be joining the WCMS again to celebrate the year 1924. This was the most explosive decade of the century, especially for art, fashion and music. Friday, March 12th at 8 pm. Tickets are only $15 in advance and $17 day of show. We will conclude our 2009-2010 season of the Walters Chamber Music Series in April with The Portland Cello Project. This concert is “suitable for all demographics: boogie-ing grannies, head nodding hipsters, budding middle-school musicians, and everyone in between.” Witness the phenomena on Friday, April 23rd at 8 pm. Tickets are only $15 in advance and $17 day of show. We hope you join us for one or even all eight performances. These are not ordinary, sleep-inducing concerts – they are vibrant musical events presented by outstanding musicians – some in red sneakers!

Tylor is also a dedicated teacher and performs with the Portland and Eugene Symphonies. He currently lives in Hillsboro.

Canta y no llores (Sing and Don't Cry) - Day of the Dead celebration - Event ends November 15, 2009

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

Walters Chamber Music Series - Event ends April 23, 2010

WALTERS CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES FEATURING RED SNEAKER, THE OREGON RENAISSANCE BAND, DE ORGANOGRAPHIA AND THE PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT Hillsboro, Oregon – The Walters Cultural Arts Center is proud to announce a new concert series called the Walters Chamber Music Series (WCMS). This absolutely unstuffy series is a feast of classical music for listeners of all ages. In its debut season, the 2009-2010 series will consist of eight shows and feature Tylor Neist’s chamber ensemble Red Sneaker along with the Oregon Renaissance Band, De Organographia and The Portland Cello Project. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Walters Chamber Series season tickets are also available: all eight shows for $99 or any four for $49. The Red Sneaker family friendly concert “Tales and Scales,” in September, will be an evening of narrative music. Red Sneaker musicians will share the stage with actors to weave together music and story in a performance that is perfect for classical music enthusiasts of all ages. Neist and his chamber players’ quest to bring classical music to everyone will draw you into the world of classical music with this engrossing program. It is sure to be a memorable and fun filled evening. Friday, September 18th at 8pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In October, Red Sneaker’s “Fright Night” will give you chills in this strange holiday concert – powerful, haunting and surreal chamber music that is unlike anything usually experienced on a chamber music stage. Friday, October 16th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In November, Red Sneaker will bring a rich American tapestry of sound with “American Composers.” A melting pot of cultures is reflected in this concert as Red Sneaker explores America’s search for a musical identity influenced by folk, jazz, blues, and pop styles.

The Oregon Renaissance Band will join us in December for “An Early Christmas from Many Nations” featuring Renaissance and Early Baroque Holiday Music.

This group will be directed Philip and Gayle Neuman and sponsored by the Early Music Guild of Oregon. Friday, December 18th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. The study of a composer’s personal correspondence gives us deep insight into his musical work, which is the purpose and appeal of Red Sneaker’s “Letters” performance in January. Join Neist, his chamber players, and some guest actors on this exploration of several different composers’ letters in connection with their music written during those periods. Friday, January 15th, at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. Please join us in February for “A Coming of Spring” performance with De Organographia. This concert specializes in the music of four distinct periods: Antiquity, Medieval, Renaissance, and the 19th century – all performed on period instruments or faithful reproductions. This group will be directed Philip and Gayle Neuman and sponsored by the Early Music Guild of Oregon. Friday February 19th at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show. In March, Red Sneaker will be joining the WCMS again to celebrate the year 1924. This was the most explosive decade of the century, especially for art, fashion and music. Friday, March 12th at 8 pm. Tickets are only $15 in advance and $17 day of show. We will conclude our 2009-2010 season of the Walters Chamber Music Series in April with The Portland Cello Project.

Spoken Word Storytelling event

STORYTELLING PROGRAM AT ARTS CENTER FOR SPOKEN WORD Hillsboro, Oregon – For the November installment of the popular Spoken Word series, the Walters Cultural Arts Center is pleased to welcome storyteller Anne Penfound for a program titled, Sweet and Sour: Stories that Flavor our Lives. The audience will be invited to participate in the telling of these delightfully sweet and sour stories, which communicate history, diverse culture and life lessons. This is a free program, and takes place on Tuesday, November 17th at 7pm in the Arts Center gallery space. Anne Penfound, is a native of the British Isles and has been regaling Portland with her storytelling for the past decade. She grew up in an era when the milkman’s delivery came by horse and cart and the Rag and Bone man trolled the streets inviting you to bring out your cast off treasures with his distinctive cry “Rag ‘n bone, rag ‘n bone.” Stories were a part of her everyday life. She raised her own family on Scottish soil, where bedtime stories of monsters in the lock and wild Haggis were all-time favorites with her children. Today, Anne tells stories that reflect her experience and joy of life. She shares folk and fairytales from around the world that show diverse cultures and life’s lessons. She enjoys the humor in tall tales and personal anecdotes, and the shiver that a good ghost story imparts. Anne is a member of the National Storytelling Network, Toastmasters International and Portland Storytellers Guild. She is a performance artist and workshop presenter with Portland Storytellers Guild, the Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington Program and Storytellers 3.

Brush Up Your Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets have inspired numerous musical creations—especially during the Romantic era across Europe newly-available translations. Weber’s opera Oberon (after A Midsummer Night’s Dream) was his last work before he died in London. The ravishing Serenade to Music by Vaughan Williams, based on a passage from The Merchant of Venice, was written as a plea for peace during World War II. Verdi was drawn to Shakespeare’s understanding of the vulnerable human condition and Otello illustrates his mastery of dramatic theater as Coral Walterman joins us for Desdemona’s famous “Salce, salce” and the moving “Ave Maria.” Elgar’s Falstaff is a virtuosic symphonic portrayal of the Bard’s burley rogue as outlined in Henry IV Parts 1 & 2. Actor Bill Barry will recite salient passages before we perform the musical works that were inspired by these ageless texts.
