The great river flows, an irresistible force, and though you can’t swim against the current, you can embrace the journey. You can experience life in unexpected ways, like a wilderness kayaker on a breathtaking ride down wild rapids, or a slow meander over deep, still pools.

Featuring the Oasis Ensemble—Dawn Weiss (flute), Austin Bennett (violoncello), and Tung Nguyen (piano); and the music of Cascadia members Adrienne Albert, Greg Bartholomew, Sarah Bassingthwaighte, Rex Bell, Lisa Ann Marsh, Liz Nedela, Walter Saul, Dawn Sonntag, Greg A Steinke, and Linda Woody—this program will take you on a transformative voyage from the here and the now to the next great thing. So, eyes forward, get ready for the challenge. Enjoy the journey at one of these five shows!
