Jacobsen Series: Sphinx Virtuosi Concert Broadcast @ Broadcast online via Schneebeck LIVE
Tickets
Feb 5 @ 7:30 pm

Sphinx Virtuosi is one of the nation’s most dynamic professional chamber orchestras, comprised of 18 top Black and Latinx classical soloists. This broadcast is part of a multi-event residency with Sphinx, a Detroit-based national organization dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts.

Led by Puget Sound’s School of Music in partnership with African American Studies, Tacoma Public Schools, Tacoma Youth Symphony Association, and the Tacoma Youth Chorus; this concert is the first of two public performances and numerous community events. The residency is made possible through support from the Matthew Norton Clapp Visiting Artists Endowment.

The Sphinx Virtuosi chamber orchestra will be performing works by Xavier Foley, Jessie Montgomery, Antonín Dvo?ák, Andrea Casarrubios, Leonard Bernstein, and Michael Abels.

The concert is free to all. Optional tickets in support of music scholarships and community outreach are available for those who wish to support the School of Music in this way.

We hope you will join us for this dynamic and engaging event!

Eternal Light: A Composition for Tacoma @ Symphony Tacoma Youtube Page
Tickets
Feb 6 @ 7:30 pm

Eternal Light is a “musical collage” of original works by local students inspired by Lux Aeterna, a movement in Mozart’s Requiem that expresses words of comfort and hope. It will premiere on Symphony Tacoma’s YouTube channel at 7:30 pm on Saturday, February 6, 2021. Preceding the premiere will be a Facebook Live conversation with the creative team facilitated by Symphony Tacoma Music Director Sarah Ioannides at 6:30 pm.

Over the summer, thirteen local students ranging in age from 10 to 17 accepted Symphony Tacoma’s invitation to create original music, lyrics, drawings and poetry that reflected their interpretation of “eternal light.” Maestra Sarah Ioannides, the project’s producer, has taken these submissions and weaved them into a new audio and visual composition to be performed and recorded by the youth who submitted as well as participants from Tacoma Youth Chorus, University Place Presbyterian Church’s Alleluia Singers (children’s choir) and Symphony Tacoma musicians.

“We hope this special project will bring joy to the hearts of many during these difficult times,” says Ioannides.

Do you desire to connect to your own creative natural juiciness?

Give yourself the gift to create from your sacred soul.

Grow and Bloom in a non-judgmental circle of love that supports and inspires you.

Become part of a trusted community of women who want to share and connect through art.

An Intuitive Painting circle is a time to be fully immersed in a process designed to help you become aware and listen to your innate wisdom.

During an Intuitive Painting session images show up. Sometimes we understand them but most times we are surprised at what gets painted. Feelings get expressed that have been hiding. Little people, animals or men with mustaches and big top hats appear on our canvas. Sometimes flying purple horses appear. All that is painted is there to help us release whatever wants to be released.

Colors can assists us with feelings, sometimes we splatter paint and other times we move the paint back and forth with our precious paint brushes.

We do not need to think just feel and let go of our minds. Easier said than done, you might say! Our minds always want to understand what is happening but in intuitive painting that is not necessary.

Explore and express an inner voice not often heard. You know it… it is the aliveness, the spark, the vital self-desiring nourishment, safety and encouragement to come forward.

We will:

* begin with a meditation

* have a creative exercise to begin

* paint in silence to deepen the experience

* one on one facilitating will be provided during painting with Zoom breakout rooms

Just show up, be present and create from the heart.

Supplies needed:

* Tempera Paint a variety of colors (Amazon has PRANG for $25.00)

* White Butcher paper or large white paper

* Brushes

* Rag & water container

Organ at Noon Series: The 30th Annual Bethel Schneebeck Organ Recital @ Kilworth Memorial Chapel Broadcast online via Schneebeck LIVE
Tickets
Feb 21 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Join us as American concert organist Wyatt Smith performs music by Florence Price, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Dietrich Bustehude, and more, streaming live from Kilworth Memorial Chapel. Mrs. Bethel Schneebeck and her late husband Edwin Schneebeck generously supported the University of Puget Sound for decades. In recognition of the family’s ongoing commitment to Puget Sound, in 2002 the university named its main music performance venue in honor of the Schneebecks, who also were major contributors to the construction of the Fritts organ in Kilworth Chapel, dedicated in 1989. Mrs. Schneebeck is the mother and grandmother of Puget Sound graduates, and in 1982 she was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Arts degree.
