SUMMARY:LOVE? - A somewhat romantic opera & musical showcase (mostly) in english
DESCRIPTION:It is sometime in the late 1940s — or somewhere that remembers it.

SUMMARY:Classix Series | Mendolssohn Violin Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes\nSATURDAY\, MARCH 21: Doors 6:00 PM\, Concert 7:30 PM\nSUNDAY\, MARCH 22: Doors 2:30 PM\,Concert 4:00 PM \nLike a great masterpiece shaped by time and intellect\, the Reno Phil embarks on the pursuit of knowledge\, where music unfolds with curiosity\, discovery\, and profound insight. At the heart of the evening is Nathan Amaral\, the first prize winner of the 2024 Sphinx Competition\, whose artistry illuminates Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto—a work of exquisite elegance and fiery virtuosity\, as if the violin itself is searching for truth in every soaring phrase. The journey begins with Autumn Maria Reed’s Robin’s Eye View\, a vivid and imaginative exploration of the world from above. The night reaches its pinnacle with Brahms’ Symphony No. 1\, a work Robert Schumann once prophesied as part of Beethoven’s legacy\, declaring that Brahms\, wielding his “magic wand\,” would reveal “wondrous glimpses into the secret world of the spirits.” From its stormy opening to its triumphant\, hymn-like finale\, the symphony wrestles with struggle and revelation\, culminating in an exultant resolution—a testament to the brilliance that emerges when passion and intellect collide. \nON THE PROGRAM \nAutumn Maria Reed Robin’s Eye View\nFelix Mendelssohn Violin Concerto op. 64 in E minor\nJohannes Brahms Symphony No. 1 op. 68 in C minor \nTICKET INFORMATION \nTickets for 2025-26 Classix Series concerts at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts can only be purchased at this time as part of a Classix 6-concert subscription package.

I employ a personal vocabulary of marks and colors that reflects the natural world. My work varies from representational to abstract\, and I am continually moving between the two styles. I tend to work in series\, either with the materials I use or the exploration of imagery. Every painting is an experiment to me. My materials\, techniques\, and interests all direct me to a place that craves a connection to the world we live in. \n#abstractartist #artistinaction #darkshotcoffee
