| | Portland String Quartet:
Point of Departure
This program explores moments when composers stepped beyond the familiar to chart new artistic territory. Anton Webern’s Langsamer Satz reveals a lyrical, late-Romantic voice rarely associated with his later atonal work. Ken Benshoof’s Sweeter Than Wine blends classical form with American folk and jazz, creating music that feels both intimate and fresh. Eleanor Alberga’s String Quartet No. 2 bursts with rhythmic drive and bold contrasts, drawing on African-Caribbean roots. Prokofiev’s String Quartet No. 2, written during wartime exile, transforms folk melodies into something strikingly original.
Each piece reflects a turning point - a departure from the expected - inviting listeners to experience the spirit of creative risk and reinvention.
Callie Brennan, Sophia Szokolay, violins; Brianna Fischler, viola; Kelly Knox, cello

Castle of Our Skins:
And, Perhaps, To Bloom
And, Perhaps, To Bloom explores the driving will cast deep in the heart and blood of a people seeking freedom, life, humanity, and peace. Their mass exodus - be it to swamps to form maroon societies or the Great Migration to the north and midwestern cities like Detroit - were arduous journeys to find a place where, perhaps, they may bloom.
Where there would be no more weeping or crying. Where shouting, glory and freedom would be bountiful. Where something like a great day, dreamed up and willed into existence through prayer and song, would await.
Castle of our Skins is a Black arts institution that centers Black arts, culture, and history in each curated event, musical selection, and artistic collaborator chosen.
