SUMMARY:Siskiyou Singers Holiday 2023 Concert: “Ancient Melodies”
DESCRIPTION:Join Siskiyou Singers for the holidays as we explore the origins of the music we’ve come to love during this special time of year\, along with contemporary interpretations of many other seasonal favorites. \nPerformances of “Ancient Melodies” will be at SOU’s Music Recital Hall in Ashland on Friday\, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday\, Dec. 9 and 10\, at 3:00 p.m. General admission is $25 ($5 for students and Oregon Trail Card holders). Tickets are available from choir members\, at Music Coop or Paddington Station in Ashland\, online\, or at the door. \nThe first half of the program will begin with two Spanish villancicos (Christmas carols) from the 16th century. These sprightly pieces will contrast Rachmaninoff’s “Bogoroditse Devo\,” and “Videntes Stellam Magi” (“The Wise Men Saw the Star”) by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina\, a spectacular telling of the story of the wise men written for two antiphonal choirs. \nWe will also perform contemporary settings of ancient texts\, including “O Magnum Mysterium” (“O Great Mystery”) by Morten Lauridsen. Also featured will be a neo-Renaissance piece by well-known local composer William Ashworth and a traditional black spiritual\, “See Dat Babe\,” in a great concert arrangement\, by Stacey Gibbs. \nIn the second half of the concert we will perform holiday favorites set in exciting ways\, including “The Holly and the Ivy” in a heart-warming setting by Alice Parker\, and jazz arrangements of “Let It Snow\,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas\,” and “Winter Wonderland.” The program will end with a profound setting of “Silent Night” by Ivo Antognini and\, as always for our choir\, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas\,” as arranged by John Rutter. \nRogue Valley musicologist Ed Wight will present a free pre-concert lecture about the music one hour before the Dec. 8 and 10 performances. \nDon’t miss this exceptional holiday celebration!

SUMMARY:The Problem of Evil in a God-Centered Spirituality with Byron Belitsos
DESCRIPTION:Is “evil” winning the battle? Is unfathomable corruption here to stay? Or is “the arc of the moral universe” bending toward justice? \nWe are entering an era marked by economic collapse\, genocidal wars\, climate catastrophe\, and planned epidemics. What sort of God\, if there is one\, allows such extremes of tragic suffering and cataclysmic destruction? \nThis talk focuses on practical ways to cope with “the problem of evil” during the darkest of times\, especially for those interested in God-centered spirituality. We’ll draw strength from ancient and modern wisdom about the origin\, nature\, and types of evil\, and look forward to solutions now on the table\, including radical reform of the United Nations and futuristic revelations pertinent to the needs of the post-collapse era. \nByron Belitsos is the author of the new book; Truths About Evil\, Sin\, and the Demonic (Wipf & Stock\, 2023). He holds a BA (Honors) in history of ideas from the University of Chicago and an MA in systematic theology from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. \nFor several decades\, Mr. Belitsos has been an independent scholar and an award-winning book publisher\, editor\, and author. His previous acclaimed books include Your Evolving Soul (2017)\, Healing a Broken World (2014)\, A Return to Healing (2009)\, and One World Democracy (2005). \nA student of The Urantia Book for over four decades\, Mr. Belitsos was also an inaugural member of Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute \nFREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland\, OR.

SUMMARY:Windows in Time — The Mayor’s Gift: The Enduring Legacy of Clarence Meeker
DESCRIPTION:Clarence Meeker was a Medford product through and through. \nComing to Southern Oregon in the 1890s at the age of 12\, he graduated from the city’s first high school and became a prominent downtown merchant. A natural leader and civic booster\, he also served two terms as a city councilman\, and as Medford’s wartime mayor. Like many of his contemporaries\, Meeker was fascinated by stories of the early settlers\, and in his efforts to preserve Jacksonville’s historic county courthouse\, laid the groundwork that enabled the Southern Oregon Historical Society to gather and preserve one of the largest regional history collections in the country. His life and work form\, detailed in the December Windows in Time Presentation\, “The Mayor’s Gift: The Enduring Legacy of Clarence Meeker\,” is a fascinating but little-known chapter of Rogue Valley history. \nLarry Mullaly is a retired educator and community college administrator with a love for sharing history. He serves on the coordinating committee of the Window’s In Time program\, is a frequent contributor to the Southern Oregon Historical Society Quarterly\, and long-time host of the Windows In Time monthly lectures. \nThe monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people\, values\, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services. Programs are presented in Medford (first Wednesdays\, in-person and online) and again in Ashland (second Wednesdays\, in-person). Recordings of Medford presentations are available on the JCLS Beyond YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Susanne Homes - Art Opening 2nd Floor
DESCRIPTION:The Sculpture/4D Collective is an ever rotating group of artists focused around the Southern Oregon University Sculpture Program in the DeBoer Sculpture Building. We are interested in making experimental artworks that take up physical and/or time-based space. \nOverall\, these student artists have been encouraged to joyfully hone technical and aesthetic skills to communicate big ideas about what is important to them and the questions that they have. In this show\, we have sculptures from a variety of students at a variety of different artmaking levels: art majors and non-art majors\, introductory\, intermediate\, and graduating senior thesis work. \nThis year we began a long term collaboration with SOU’s Honors College\, where we have turned the top two stories of the Susanne Homes dorm building from unused space due to major plumbing issues into a most amazing classroom. \nThe classroom affectionately dubbed “Suzy Two” has transformed the space for creativity and a chance to make an innovative art installation. Thirty-one SOU students have created “They just can’t make holes in the floor.” These installations were part of the 2023 “Art Beyond\,” an initiative curated by the Schneider Museum of Art\, and we are delighted to open it to the public. \nCome see us on Dec. 13 for a look at this creative art\, in an unconventional space at Susanne Homes. Free and open to the public. \n(This event has been rescheduled from Dec. 6\, and the spelling of the building name has been corrected.)

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Humanism
DESCRIPTION:Many people are uncertain what is meant by the term “humanism.” \nSome may think of psychological or perhaps literary\, cultural or renaissance humanism. Others consider humanitarian aid services\, while still others may dread a “godless” amoral humanism or even imagine a diabolical or pernicious humanism. Nonetheless\, there are philosophical\, ethical\, religious and Christian humanists worldwide. \nOn December 17 we will explore and discuss the many varieties of humanism with an emphasis on Secular Humanism. We will meet from 3 to 5 p.m. under the balcony at RVUUF. Please see our website Humanism Explorations for reading and resource links. \nHUMANISM EXPLORATIONS is part of the Center For Inquiry \, CFI Rogue Valley Humanists and Freethinkers and RVUUF

SUMMARY:In Times of Softest Snow
DESCRIPTION:The 60-voice Southern Oregon Repertory Singers will perform their annual holiday concert\, “In Time of Softest Snow” on at 7:30 p.m. Saturday\, Dec. 16\, and at 3 p.m. Sunday\, Dec. 17 in the SOU Music Recital Hall\, 450 S. Mountain Ave.\, Ashland. \nAs is their custom\, Repertory Singers will perform a variety of musical styles from around the world\, singing in French; Old Dutch; Latin; Kituba\, an African dialect; and English\, of course. \n“I guarantee that you will hear music at this concert you have never heard before\, as well as new and fresh arrangements of traditional holiday favorites\,” says music director Dr. Paul French. \nDutch composer Jetse Bremer’s “In dulci jubilo” (In sweet rejoicing)\, with its colorful harmonies and driving rhythms\, is one of Dr. French’s favorites. The choir will sing a song by John Rutter\, who the New York Times described as “the composer who owns Christmas!” His carols are fantastic and his “What Sweeter Music” will be a concert favorite. The Marian poem\, “There is No Rose” has inspired composers since the late Middle Ages\, and the choir will sing an arrangement of it by Canadian composer Don Macdonald\, which is wonderfully atmospheric and haunting. \nDan Forrest is one of the most popular composers of our time\, and the Singers will perform his piece “See Amid the Winter’s Snow\,” that is sweepingly romantic. The arrangement will feature Grants Pass High School’s Chamber Choir\, under the direction of Taylor Pulsipher. This and many other songs in the concert will be accompanied by guest instrumentalists: Kathleen Strahm on violin\, Michal Pauzevitch on cello\, Sherril Wood on flute\, and Brian Jeffs on percussion. \n“Composer in Residence” Jodi French will premiere a new work she describes as “a tender lullaby.” Ms. French’s music is always a concert high point\, with her beautiful melodies that go straight to the heart. \nThe concert will also feature new arrangements of more popular holiday songs like “Away in a Manger\,” “Jingle Bells\,” and “Silent Night” as well as a “not to be missed” moment with a modern arrangement of the spiritual “Children go Where I Send Thee” including a rap solo by tenor Brandt Nakamura.
