We play music while audience works on their art projects. Second half, musicians improvise new music as inspired by the new art!
If you’ve never created your art while listening to live music, you’ve got to try this!
Art and Music Together
Bring your art supplies — all mediums are welcome — and prepare for an evening of music to inspire your drawing, painting, collaging, whatever your medium.
Corey Adkins, bass, and I, saxes, will play music while you draw, arrange flowers, sculpt. We’ll be playing some Bach and Telemann, some Classical style music, some jazz and a few original works for the first half of the event.
Inspiration is a Two-Way Street
When we return from our break, it’s our turn to be inspired by you! We’ll create new music on the spot using your art as our Muse.
Doors open at 6:30pm. RSVP to reserve your seat: (503) 788-2064. $10 suggested donation.

Sensory Friendly Concert
2016-02-21 15:00 - 16:30 | Marylhurst University, St. Anne’s Chapel, Furman Drive, Marylhurst University, Lake Oswego, OR, 97034, United States
Join the Portland Wind Symphony and the Marylhurst Music Therapy Student Organization for a sensory friendly concert.
Typical public concert venues are inaccessible to those who are unable to sit still or be quiet. Experiencing live music in the fine arts is totally elusive to the growing number of people in our society on the autism spectrum. This is not okay. – – – The Musical Artist
Sensory Friendly means:

lights up inside the performance hall
lower volume and consistent sound level
audience members are free to talk and leave their seat
props such as scarves are provided
audience members are welcome to bring and use headphones

The Marylhurst Music Therapy Student Organization will provide special activities before, during and after the show.
Music includes classic wind symphony repertoire, trumpet fanfares, tunes from Mary Poppins, Peter and The Wolf, and music from Star Wars.
