SUMMARY:Hear & Now Free Concert
DESCRIPTION:“HEAR & NOW: Creating a place with music” is a gift to the community from Central Oregon-based professional musicians Gary Ruppert\, piano and Ryan Zwahlen\, flute and oboe. The concert is free with donations gratefully welcomed. All proceeds benefit Sunriver Music Festival’s Steinway Piano Fund. \nThis concert of beautiful programmatic music is 2pm Saturday\, January 20 at Sunriver Christian Fellowship\, 18139 Cottonwood Road. In the performers’ words\, “Listening to music is a creative process in which each listener constructs their own meaning from a musical experience. This program will help guide you\, as a listener\, in developing multiple options for what each piece might mean. What do you hear now\, in this place\, that creates meaning for you?” Compositions by Florence Price\, Maurice Ravel\, and more grace this program with abundant opportunities for creative listening and musical imagery. \nMore About the Performers: \nRyan Zwahlen is a musician\, educator\, and entrepreneur.
