Watch Oregon Koto-Kai perform Strings Across Time & Space @ Lakewold Gardens
Tickets
Sep 4 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Experience storytelling through live music at Music from Home, a monthly series of house concerts featuring repertoire which reflects and honors the lived experience of each artist.

Oregon Koto-Kai invites you on a special musical journey in the beautiful and peaceful Lakewold Gardens. Watch and listen as Mitsuki Dazai, Josh Faber-Hammond, Amy Shoemaker, and Rena Takahashi perform a new program of koto ensemble music in 3 parts. The three parts are classical Japanese music, contemporary music, and Western music.

The Koto, or 13-string zither, has over a thousand-year history in Japan. The structure of the instrument is simple yet has so many possibilities. At Strings Across Time and Space, Music from Home guests will learn how koto music has adapted through the flow of time, tradition, and space itself.

Guests will also get to enjoy a delicious bite from Uwajimaya provided by Food from Home sponsors. Get your ticket today!

Graham Nash – An Intimate Evening of Songs and Stories @ Pantages Theater
Tickets
Sep 29 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

TICKETS: $29, $49, $69, $85

The legendary Graham Nash, a founding member of both The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash, is a two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee who has seen rock history unfold at some of its seminal moments – from the launch of The British Invasion to the birth of the Laurel Canyon movement a year later. An extraordinary Grammy Award-winning renaissance artist – and self-described “simple man” – Nash was inducted twice into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, for his work with CSN and his work as a solo artist, beginning with two landmark albums, Songs For Beginners and Wild Tales.

The original classic union of Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young) lasted but twenty months. Yet their songs are embedded in our DNA, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express,” “Pre-Road Downs” and “Lady of the Island,” from the first Crosby, Stills & Nash LP (1969). On CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970), Nash’s iconic “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” (for Joni Mitchell) beseeched us to hold love tightly, to fend off the madness that was on its way.

Towering above virtually all that Graham Nash has accomplished in his long and multi-faceted career, stands the litany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of our lives for nearly six decades.
