Kulshan Chorus Presents: Carmina Burana
2020-05-02 19:00
Kulshan Chorus, Cantabile Chamber Choir, Kulshan Youth Choir, Sno-King Community Chorale, and orchestra join forces under the artistic direction of Dustin Willets to perform Carl Orff’s masterpiece cantata, Carmina Burana. Orff selected twenty-four poems from the medieval collection, Carmina Burana, covering a variety of familiar topics: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of Spring, and the pleasures and perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling, and lust. Together these poems and music describe activities along the great “wheel of life” or “wheel of fortune.” As the wheel spins, we may be uplifted in the world. But just as easily, the wheel of life may crush us. The moral is that no one of us is greater than any other, no matter their status. We should treat one another as equals, each struggling for purpose and meaning in the great wheel that is life. We belong to each other.
Tickets ranging from $22-35, with select discounts available.

How to be prepared!
– Find a quiet place so the other end of the line will not struggle to hear you.
– Do a test run to make sure links are working, microphone is on and at the right volume, and that you’re not sitting too close to the screen.
– Pay attention to details such as lighting, background, noise, among others.
– Rehearse your elevator pitch.
– Be on time so attendees don’t get distracted.
– Make sure you have your professional information available to share, like your LinkedIn account, social media channels of your business and website link.

The Long Way Home: Dana Roberts - Oil Paintings
2020-06-19 00:00 - 2020-07-10 00:00
WaterWorks Gallery presents
06/19/20 – 07/10/20
Dana Roberts represents a generation of mature women painters whose works personify a small and quieter world.
For Dana abstract painting occurs outside and beyond words. A color suggests itself; a shape appears. An emotion is felt. The painting responds and shift, and this does not end until the painting has a sort of bounce. With this jump, the painting bridges the threshold from an inanimate object to a dynamic object.
