Flutes in the Garden

Composer Deena T. Grossman brings her “elegant music [to this] equally graceful setting:” (East PDX News) the Leach Botanical Garden. With musical soundscapes directly inspired by the plants, trees, and spaces of this special place, Grossman celebrates a universal interconnectedness and the importance of environmental stewardship in true Oregonian style. The concert features Amelia performing Grossman’s solo music, and two World Premieres of pieces for flute sextet, created especially for performance on the garden’s Aerial Tree Walk: the beautifully atmospheric Circular Bridge, and Thrice Burned Forest, a sonic response to the stark landscape left behind by the immense wildfires at Mount Adams (2008 Cold Springs fire, 2012 Cascade Creek fire, and 2015 Cougar Creek fire) that reflects mysterious sounds of women’s voices and percussive rattling that the composer heard while hiking there. Proceeds from this concert equally benefit both the garden and Columbia Riverkeeper where Grossman is composer in residence. 

Tickets: $30 advance; $36 at the door.
