Holiday Magic 2018
2018-12-08 15:00, 2018-12-08 19:00, 2018-12-09 15:00 | Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St, Bend, OR, United States
The 2018 edition of the seasonal favorite, Holiday Magic will feature the world premiere of new music written specifically for the Cascade Chorale by Chorale Director, James Knox. The new work, “Ring Out, Wild Bells,” places the text of the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson in a dynamic, contemporary orchestral and vocal setting. Composer James Knox says, “When I first read the poem I immediately related it to the state in which the US is in right now and how we are viewed globally. In no way did I want to write something that had a political statement tied to it, but I felt compelled to compose and came up with a setting that had dramatic flair and creating a sound that made a bold statement.” Knox was surprised that the piece seemed to write itself in less than two weeks during a very tumultuous time in his life.
The concerts on December 8th and 9th, will showcase the musical talents of the Cascade Chorale and instrumentalists from the Central Oregon community and in addition to the premiere of Ring Out, Wild Bells, The Saturday and Sunday matinee performances feature the delightful, charming and talented Bend Children’s Choir. Saturday evening’s performance includes Bend Camerata – a talented Bend-based chamber ensemble that presents a wide variety of classic choral repertoire.
The Cascade Chorale and the Bend Children’s Choir are under the direction of James Knox.

Rick Bartow: Things You Know But Cannot Explain
2019-01-26 00:00 - 16:00
An exhibition featuring the vivid and engaging drawings, paintings, prints and sculptures of Oregon artist Rick Bartow (1946-2016) will open at the High Desert Museum on Saturday, January 26, 2019. Rick Bartow: Things You Know But Cannot Explain is an extensive retrospective of nearly four decades of Bartow’s work, an exploration of his extraordinary life and complex identity.
He was born in Newport, Oregon, where his family’s roots run deep, and grew up with close ties to the Siletz community. After studying art education at what is now Western Oregon University, he was drafted into the Army and deployed to Vietnam. The trauma he witnessed manifested as what we now identify as post-traumatic stress disorder and art became his path from the past to the present, a map back to himself and to the new self he would become.

Dutch Oven Night Cooking Clinic
2019-01-30 17:30 - 19:30
Heat up with Tumalo Creek this winter during the annual Dutch Oven Night!
At face value a Dutch oven is a thick-walled, usually cast iron cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. It could be likened to a campfire slow cooker. During their innumerable river rafting and kayaking trips, Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe staff have developed a myriad of culinary methods and recipes designed specifically for Dutch ovens. Pineapple upside-down cake, apple pie, chicken and dumplings, eggplant parmesan, roasted veggies and Owyhee bacon loaded cornbread are just some of the dishes sampled at past Dutch oven cooking clinics. Join Tumalo Creek for an evening of tasty exploration and share in the possibilities of campfire cooking on a river trip, during a campout or in your own backyard.
At the workshop we’ll answer questions like:
-How do you arrange the coals?
-How do you get the meal to cook all the way through, without burning the outside?
We’ll cook up some of our favorite meals on the back deck, and then share our secrets as we sample the meals and desserts inside the shop.
