SUMMARY:Pacific Lutheran University: The Light in the Piazza
DESCRIPTION:The Light in the Piazza the musical \nMargaret Johnson\, the wife of an American businessman\, is touring the Tuscan countryside with her daughter\, Clara. While sightseeing\, Clara – a beautiful\, surprisingly childish young woman – loses her hat in a sudden gust. As if guided by an unseen hand\, the hat lands at the feet of Fabrizio Naccarelli\, a handsome Florentine\, who returns it to Clara. This brief episode\, charged with coincidence and fate\, sparks an immediate and intense romance between Clara and Fabrizio. Margaret\, extremely protective of her daughter\, attempts to keep Clara and Fabrizio apart. But as events unfold\, a secret is revealed: in addition to the cultural differences between the young lovers\, Clara is not quite all that she appears. Unable to suppress the truth about her daughter\, Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara’s future\, but her own hopes as well. \nJim Brown\, Director \nAmy Boers\, Music Director \nAdmission is free to PLU students with ID.

SUMMARY:NAfME Webinar: The Music Director’s Goal-Setting Blueprint
DESCRIPTION:Behind every thriving ensemble is a director with a plan. This interactive webinar guides music educators through a structured\, practical approach to goal-setting that can help any program (large or small) grow intentionally and sustainably. Participants will explore a framework designed specifically for music programs\, focusing on four key areas of development: Musicianship\, Program Growth\, Community Support\, and School/Administrative Relationships. Using examples from band\, choir\, orchestra\, and jazz settings\, the session connects big-picture vision with actionable weekly planning strategies. Attendees will receive goal-tracking templates\, reflection prompts\, and planning tools they can immediately apply to improve rehearsal focus\, communication\, and long-term program development. This session empowers music educators to move beyond “survival mode” and take measurable\, meaningful steps toward stronger programs\, healthier ensembles\, and more balanced professional lives.

SUMMARY:Oregon Symphony: Copland & Rachmaninoff
DESCRIPTION:Fasten your seatbelt as Alessio Bax tackles Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3\, a creation of massive power and drive and one of the hardest-to-master works in the repertoire. After its premiere in New York City\, a critic wrote that “its great length and extreme difficulties bar it from performances by any but pianists of exceptional technical powers.” Its quiet start leads into an astonishing unleashing of notes and hurtles to a riveting conclusion. Copland’s Third Symphony also was first presented in the U.S. Its spirit is undeniably “American”—vital\, optimistic\, and big-hearted—triumphantly exclaimed in the finale’s stirring “Fanfare for the Common Man.”

SUMMARY:Portland State University: PSU Steinway Piano Series: Recital by Dmitry Rachmanov
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating its 10th Anniversary Season\, the PSU Steinway Piano Series welcomes the “suave and gifted pianist” (New York Times) Dmitry Rachmanov in a spring residency. Praised by Brussels’ Le Soir as an “indisputable musician\,” Rachmanov is Chair of Keyboard Studies at California State University\, Northridge\, and has appeared at major venues including Carnegie Hall and Southbank Centre. In his recital Mystics and Romantics\, Rachmanov explores the expressive breadth of the Romantic tradition\, pairing beloved works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Frédéric Chopin with the evocative sound world of Russian composers including Alexander Scriabin and Sergei Rachmaninoff\, alongside rarely heard music by Varvara Gaigerova and Bogdana Filz. Known for performances of exceptional color\, focus\, and emotional depth\, Rachmanov brings this rich repertoire vividly to life. \nThis event is part of the PSU Steinway Piano Series\, which brings internationally recognized performers and educators to Portland for a weekend of public recitals and master classes each year. Acting as a bridge between world-class stages and the college classroom\, the series elevates awareness for PSU’s outstanding music program while providing students and concertgoers with access to a broad spectrum of the highest level professional pianists performing today. \nLearn more about all events included in this Steinway Piano Series.

SUMMARY:Oregon Symphony: Copland & Rachmaninoff
DESCRIPTION:Fasten your seatbelt as Alessio Bax tackles Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3\, a creation of massive power and drive and one of the hardest-to-master works in the repertoire. After its premiere in New York City\, a critic wrote that “its great length and extreme difficulties bar it from performances by any but pianists of exceptional technical powers.” Its quiet start leads into an astonishing unleashing of notes and hurtles to a riveting conclusion. Copland’s Third Symphony also was first presented in the U.S. Its spirit is undeniably “American”—vital\, optimistic\, and big-hearted—triumphantly exclaimed in the finale’s stirring “Fanfare for the Common Man.”
