Portland, OR
Sunday December 8th, CDZ Collegium Musica is holding its Season of Lights FREE Holiday Community Concert. SOL’s mission is to provide a meaningful and unifying celebration of the holiday season that all the members of the community can attend and enjoy. The spiritual theme of the program is peace, goodwill, and loving kindness. Drawing from the four corners of the Portland metro, the program and its featured artists represent a collage of the cultural and faith traditions of the community. In the spirit of unity and goodwill the program invites all in attendance to give generously to community charities: Catholic Charity and Jewish Family and Child Services, which provide aid and assistance to the needs of those needing food, shelter, and counseling.
This year’s program features seasonal, traditional, contemporary music from Japan, Ukraine, Middle East, Brazil, and Americas; that is, everything from plainchant to Jazz. Joining Peter on the program is Jazz Hall of Fame vocalist Shirley Nanette and pianist Vince Frates, Portland Shishimai Kai (Traditional Lion Dance) company, Cantor Sarah Faux performing Gregorian chant and Bach’s Sleepers Awake, Grace and Lucy Flowerday performing Tedesco’s Fantasia for guitar and piano, Brazilian flutist Gabriela Gimenes, Thousand Waves (koto, flute, and guitar). This is a program for the entire family.
