Composers proudly presents “Perceptions of Sound,” a Cascadia and Friends
production. Tickets will be available at the door for $20 (general admission), $10

Oregon 97401.
CASCADIA COMPOSERS is a non‐profit membership chapter of
NACUSA (National Association of Composers USA) based in Portland Oregon and
dedicated to the promotion and support of regional composers. Cascadia has
produced concerts, workshops, and presentations promoting new classical music
by Northwest composers for eight years.
This third Eugene Cascadia Composers concert entitled
“Perceptions of Sound” will challenge the ears with a variety of works that
take advantage of the unique acoustic properties of the First Christian
Church’s parabolic dome. Many pieces
will be “in the dark” for the listener to immerse themselves in sound, sometimes
from various corners of the space. Dance, video, electro acoustic and other
multimedia collaborative works will be on the program.
The program will showcase pianist Alexander Schwarzkof,
soprano Nancy Wood and percussionist Todd Bills among many Eugene musicians. Composers represented include Eugene’s Paul
Safar and Portland ‘s Daniel Brugh, Jeff Winslow and Lisa March. Jennifer
Wright will electrify us with amplified harpsichord and John Beredzen will
usher in the concert with his one of a kind instrument “the Robohorn.”
Get ready for this new genre bending multi media experience
set in the unique space of First Christian Church in Eugene.
