SUMMARY:Tutunov & Friends features: Kinga Augustyn\, violin & Alexander Tutunov\, piano
DESCRIPTION:The Tutunov Piano Series is pleased to welcome violinist Kinga Augustyn on Friday\, Nov. 3\, 2023. She will perform in a combined concert with Dr. Alexander\, piano\, at the Southern Oregon University Music Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m. A livestream is available for this performance. \nKinga Augustyn \nPolish-American Kinga Augustyn is a versatile New York City-based virtuoso concert violinist and recording artist. “Stylish and vibrant” (The Strad Magazine)\, and “beyond amazing\, one hell of a violinist!” (The Fanfare Magazine)\, Augustyn has performed as a soloist with orchestras in the United States\, Europe and Asia\, and they include the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra\, Queens Symphony Orchestra\, Catskill Symphony Orchestra\, Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin\, Magdeburg Philharmonic Orchestra\, the Chamber Orchestra Leopoldinum\, and the Wrocław Philharmonic Orchestra. She has toured China and performed at China’s most prestigious venues\, such as Beijing Poly Theater and Shanghai Oriental Art Center. As a recitalist and chamber musician\, Kinga has appeared at the Stern Auditorium and the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall\, Alice Tully Hall\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The Aspen Music Festival\, the Chicago Cultural Center\, Teatro Ristori\, and Gran Teatro La Fenice. In addition to concerti with orchestras and recitals with piano\, Ms. Augustyn frequently performs unaccompanied solo violin recitals and is also a member of the Baroque Virtuosity trio with lutist Christopher Morrongiello and harpsichordist Rebecca Pechefsky. \nAugustyn is often praised for her musical interpretations\, profundity\, deft phrasing\, beautiful tone\, mastery of the bow\, perfect intonation\, and for unique programming ideas. “With completely secure technical control\, she couples a tapestry of tone color to her innate musicality” (The Fanfare Magazine). Music Web International describes her recording of the Bruch Violin Concerto with Janacek Philharmonic as “extremely moving and expressive\,” characterized by “beauty\, richness and smoothness of her tone\,” and as “music she responds to on a deeply personal and emotional level.” \nAugustyn’s repertoire includes music both standard and lesser-known\, stylistically varied and ranging from early baroque to contemporary. Kinga is an advocate of new music and has performed and recorded multiple world premieres of works written especially for her. She also researches and brings awareness to lesser-known composers\, including those of her native Poland. Up to date\, Augustyn has recorded three albums of Polish music. Grażyna Bacewicz: A Portrait was released in 2022 on Centaur Records. The other two albums\, released on Naxos\, are world premieres by the contemporary Polish composer Romuald Twardowski (b. 1930)\, recorded with the Torun Symphony Orchestra and Mariusz Smolij\, and the Polish Violin Music\, a highly praised\, “fascinating” (The Strad) album of lesser-known Polish works. \nIn 2021 Augustyn released on Turning in Time on Centaur Records\, a critically acclaimed album featuring 20th and 21st century unaccompanied solo violin works by Krzysztof Penderecki (world premiere of Capriccio)\, Debra Kaye (world premiere of Turning in Time)\, as well as other works\, significant in the violin repertoire\, by Elliott Carter\, Luciano Berio\, Isang Yun and Grażyna Bacewicz. Gramophone calls the album “remarkable” and praises Augustyn for “vibrant intensity\, caressing the phrases and bringing bold focus to the electric unfolding of creativity.” \nAugustyn’s expanding discography also includes the Paganini Caprices\, which music critics consider as convincing as Perlman’s or Midori’s\, and an “an enduring benchmark” (Classical Net); La Pasión\, featuring 6 Tango-Etudes for Solo Violin by Astor Piazzolla; Telemann 12 Fantasias for Solo Violin (Centaur Records)\, in which “her interpretations are convincing in every piece here\, and the Baroque spirit of the violin and Telemann’s mastery abiding throughout” (Music Web International); and Glen Roven’s Runaway Bunny Concerto performed with Catherine Zeta-Jones as a narrator and featuring Kinga Augustyn’s Solo Violin Cadenza (GPR Records). \nAugustyn has won international awards\, including First Prizes at the Alexander & Buono International String Competition (USA)\, Artist International Presentations (USA)\, and the J. S. Bach String Competition (Poland)\, as well as other top honors that include prizes at the Johannes Brahms International Competition (Austria)\, the Kloster Schoental International Young Artist Competition (Germany)\, Michael Hill International Violin Competition (New Zealand)\, and the Kosciuszko Foundation Wieniawski Violin Competition (USA). \nAugustyn studied at The Juilliard School with Dorothy DeLay\, Cho-Liang Lin\, and Naoko Tanaka\, and earned there both the Bachelor and the Master degrees as a full tuition scholarship recipient. She holds a doctorate from the Stony Brook University\, where she was also awarded a full-tuition scholarship and assistantship and worked with Phil Setzer and Pamela Frank. \nOn a regular basis Augustyn plays a violin made by Joseph Gagliano in 1774\, generously on loan to her from a private collector. When playing early music in a historically informed style\, she plays Lukas Wroński’s uniquely designed violin inspired by the famed statue Venus de Milo. \nAugustyn currently serves as Violin Faculty at Queens College Aaron Copland School of Music. \nDr. Alexander Tutunov \nAlexander Tutunov is widely recognized as one of the most outstanding virtuosos of the former Soviet Union. First Prize winner of the Belarusian National Piano Competition and winner of the Russian National Piano Competition\, Tutunov’s playing was described by Soviet Culture\, Moscow\, as “exhilarating and inspired\, and which demonstrated a unique talent”. \nTutunov maintains a busy performing schedule in Europe\, China\, Mexico\, and the United States as a recitalist\, soloist with orchestra\, and on radio and television. Dr. Tutunov is also in demand as an adjudicator for piano competitions. \nTutunov’s recording of the Abeliovich Piano Concerto was featured as part of the Emmy award winning soundtrack for the History Channel documentary\, Russia: Land of Tsars\, and his CD of the Tchaikovsky Concert Fantasy with the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra was produced in January 2008. Other recordings include: Concerto for Piano & Orchestra by Peter Sacco with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra (Albany Records) and the solo piano works of Lev Abeliovich Sonatas & Frescoes\, Trio\, Songs (Altarus Records). \nTutunov graduated magna cum laude from the Central Music School of the Moscow Conservatory (studies with Anna Artobolevskaya and Lev Naumov) and University of North Texas (piano studies with Joseph Banowetz). Awarded his doctoral diploma with honors in concert performance from the Belarusian State Conservatory\, Dr. Tutunov has taught at the Minsk College of Music\, the University of North Texas\, and Illinois Wesleyan University. \nTutunov now lives in Ashland\, where he is Professor of Piano and Artist in Residence at Southern Oregon University. A successful piano pedagogue\, he continues to prepare award-winning students. Tutunov is Artist in Residence at the University of Alaska Southeast\, Artistic director of the SOU International Piano Institute\, Director of the Tutunov Piano Series at Southern Oregon University\, and was recently named the Director of the Chinese-American International Piano Institute in Chengdu\, China.

SUMMARY:Rogue World wassailing open rehearsals
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wanted to sing for fun? Have you ever wanted to discover your singing voice? Rehearse with us for Rogue World Wassailing this Dec. 1 and 16! \nRehearsals are held 2 to 4 p.m. Saturdays\, Oct. 28 to Nov. 25\, at Aryze Hot Yoga Studio\, 330 Oak St.\, Ashland. \nRuth Hoffecker\, of Ashland School of Uncovering the Voice\, brings her two major passions together for this project: traditional folk songs that celebrate the turning of the seasons and creating a singing community where all people feel welcome. Folk traditions like Wassailing were born out of a time when all people sang as part of daily life. We invite you to come experience singing in community\, lifting each other up with our voices\, making a joyful noise! \nWe will meet for five weeks to learn winter\, Christmas\, New Year’s and traditional Wassailing songs. Each session will begin with gentle exercises to warm up our voices.\nWith music in our hearts and rhythms in our feet\, we will serenade the community\, first in two public street events\, and later going door to door offering blessings of health and happiness for the New Year. \nAll singing experience levels are welcome – including folks who have always thought ‘I can’t sing.’ \nAll ages are welcome. All voices are welcome. Participation levels of all types are welcome. (Singing everything\, singing just the choruses\, clapping along\, humming\, etc.) \nYou don’t have to attend every rehearsal. Attend as many or as few as you’d like. \nParticipation is free.

SUMMARY:What Makes a Cheese?
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what makes a Cheddar different from a Swiss? (Hint: it’s not just the holes.) \nMany cheeses we’re familiar with in the grocery store start with the same basic ingredients\, so what about the cheesemaking process results in such a wide range of flavors\, textures\, and smells? Jackson County Library Services invites you to sample a variety of artisan cheeses while learning about the science and culture that contributes to making them truly distinct. \nFor dietary considerations\, all cheeses provided will include dairy and will be vegetarian friendly\, most will be produced from cow’s milk. \nThis program is free of charge.

SUMMARY:Windows in Time: Back from the Ashes: The Malmgren Garage
DESCRIPTION:Most people think a building has to be perfectly restored to garner listing in the National Register of Historic Places\, but the Malmgren Garage\, one of the oldest concrete buildings in Talent\, and the only structure on its block to survive the Almeda Fire\, was considered eligible for listing in the register even through the fire destroyed its roof\, windows and all its wooden elements. \nHear from George Kramer\, the project restoration specialist\, how a determined property owner\, her architectural team and builder\, have worked together to bring the Malmgren Garage back from the ashes and maintain its historic character\, and demonstrate to the State and the National Park Service that it deserved National Register status. \nAshland resident George Kramer\, with a background in history and architecture\, has worked to document and restore historic buildings throughout the Pacific Northwest for over three decades. He wrote the nomination documents for downtown Grants Pass\, downtown Medford\, and all four of the historic districts in Ashland\, along with the Ashland Springs Hotel\, Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville\, Medford’s Porter’s Restaurant and more than 80 projects in downtown Medford. His current work in the valley includes interior design for the SOHS Event Center and on-going restoration of the Holly Theatre in addition to the Malmgren Garage. \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.

For five years\, he also worked for The California Fire Program of the Wilderness Society. Rich has a degree in forestry and holds a Master’s degree in planning. He currently owns a small forest management company. He and his wife live in the mixed conifer forest of the Applegate where they do a considerable amount of under burning. \nThe Friday Hike and Learn sessions will take place in the Ashland Food Co-op Community Classroom at 300 N. Pioneer in Ashland from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The classroom is one block toward downtown from the grocery store on North First Street. \nFriends of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is a nonprofit organization\, and our mission is to support the protection\, restoration and conservation of the monument through service\, advocacy\, and education. Our Hike and Learn programs are designed to introduce the public to different topics and locations within the Monument.

SUMMARY:The Ghost Forest: Racists\, Radicals\, and Real Estate in the California Redwoods with author Greg King
DESCRIPTION:“The Ghost Forest” provides the entire history of redwood logging and protection efforts\, from the mid-19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. \nI tell this story as a journalist and historian\, but also as an activist: In 1986 I quit my reporter’s job to spearhead the fight to save the last islands of ancient redwoods still in private hands. In 1987 I discovered and named 3\,000-acre Headwaters Forest\, then the largest ancient redwood grove still standing outside of parks. \nGreg King\nPresident/Executive Director\nSiskiyou Land Conservancy \n“The Ghost Forest is the book I’ve long wished someone would write\, and Greg King has done it luminously well. He tells the epic story of the destruction of 96% of the primeval redwoods in California—including the criminal and bankrupt horrors of ‘liquidation logging’ done in the 1980s and 90s by corporate raider Charles Hurwitz and the Maxxam Corporation. And he tells the story of activists and protesting tree climbers (including himself) who put their lives on the line to save the Headwaters Forest Reserve\, a jewel of the redwood realm.” — Richard Preston\, author of “The Wild Trees” and “The Hot Zone” \nHeld 7 to 8 p.m. Friday\, Nov. 8.
