Fire & Music Project
Apr

Fire & Music Project

Join the Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival for the Fire and Music Project: a series of six concerts across North State California. The concert experience will feature live music, poetry, and videography accompanying stories of fire ecology, indigenous land management practices, and history of California's relationship with fire suppression and prescribed fire. The program features a group of artists who have begun the transformation into fire practitioners. Their stories and performances create an immersive experience that invites audiences to examine their own relationship with fire. The Fire and Music Project was conceptualized by violinist and fire practitioner Ellen McGehee. A co-founder of the Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival, McGehee saw the potential of integrating natural resource work with cultural events. “As we reinvigorate the arts in our rural communities, we have an opportunity to do so in a way that highlights the issues those communities are facing. For us in the North State, fire adaptation and resilience are perhaps the most urgent.” The musical component of these shows will include selections for strings, piano, and reed organ by classical and modern composers. Historical works by Schubert, Dvořák, and Beethoven, will anchor the program, and will come into clear relief when heard alongside recent music by Danny Clay and Julie Zhu. Zhu's work Solastalgia, a place-based piece written for the project, centers listening and stewardship in the music as inspired by the group’s work with indigenous fire practitioners. Poet Silvi Alcivar will share work written on-the-spot at prescribed burns, as well as aid in conducting the evening’s presence and audience interaction. Live projections of video and imagery will show the musicians and artists returning prescribed fire to Northern California's landscapes, and create an immersive atmosphere. The Fire & Music artists have come together from varied backgrounds with a shared love for our musical craft and our responsibilities as custodians of this planet. They have participated in immersive experiences exploring the world of fire and land management, and they now will explore the intersection of fire and music, weaving together forces that are larger than life to bring awareness in new ways to our most precious elements. Hosted by the Watershed Research and Training Center, the project is supported by funding from the Upstate Creative Corps through the California Arts Council, the Regional Forest and Fire Capacity grant awarded by the California Department of Conservation, the California Klamath-Siskiyou Fire Learning Network, and the Watershed Center. This broad support has afforded access to a statewide network of community-based burning partners, and the project has been pleased to collaborate with the Tribal Eco Restoration Alliance and their Ecocultural Fire Crew, the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve, the Butte Creek Ecological Preserve, Verbena Fields, the Butte County Prescribed Burn Association, the University of California Cooperative Extension, the Cultural Fire Management Council, and the Mid Klamath Watershed Council. The Watershed Research and Training Center is an equal opportunity provider.

Pianist Oliver Moore

Pianist Oliver Moore

Oliver Moore, dramatic young pianist and frequent PAS performer will present "Magic of Chopin" with a display of forms such as Impromptu, Scherzo, Nocturne, Mazurka, Ballade, Waltz, Etude and Sonata. Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) revolutionized the possibilities of the piano. Born in Poland, Chopin assimilated the folk music of his homeland as well as the music of masters such as J.S. Bach, Mozart, Italian opera composers, and salon composers. In 1830, he would leave Poland, never to return due to Russian oppression (after his death he would be buried in Paris, with his heart returned to Warsaw). Composer Robert Schumann described Chopin’s music as containing “cannons buried in flowers.” On the surface, his music displays great refinement, beauty, and charm, but underneath can be found deep passion and revolutionary fervor.

Introducing Anna Jae and her debut, 12-song album It Hurt, But I’m Glad I Felt It! Anna Jae (the stage name of Hannah Danielle Johnson) is an up and coming singer, songwriter and guitar player from Redding, California with a suitcase full of songs, hippie tendencies, and wanderlust. She began honing her chops singing and playing guitar in pubs and venues in Scotland while studying abroad which has now led to her first solo studio effort. Her sound blends acoustic indie pop with a hint of rock-country vibes remnant of coffeehouses to commercial FM radio with catchy cadences and choruses inspired by Johnny Cash, Etta James, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Stevie Nicks, and Freddie Mercury.
She has the energy, grace and just enough recklessness to be an everyday name with this relationships don’t always last themed album that finds beauty amongst the weeds. With Anna Jae on vocals and acoustic guitar, she is joined by powerhouse musician and producer Bruce Turgon on multiple instrumentation, her live performance partner David Harris on electric guitar, and special guest Jonathan Foster on harmonica for a couple of songs including the gritty and beautiful tune Train. It Hurt, But I’m Glad I Felt It comes out of the gate with the first single, Crazy, that hooks you in and continues with upbeat songs and fleeting moments including the edgy Broken “I’m in love with a boy who’s too broken to love” and the self-explanatory Little Mess. Rounding out this long-player is the social justice laden Humanity, Sweet Goodbyes “you can break a heart but it won’t be mine”, and the optimistic smile to the legend Patsy Cline.

Robin Montgomery, is known best for her strong vocal presence and emotional lyrics. She expresses through music as a singer, songwriter. She would say her inspiration for performing comes from having grown up in a rural area of Northern California, off grid. “Because there was a lack of entertainment, she became the entertainer in her family, alwaysh singing and dancing.
Robin is a performer who has played throughout Northern California, she has shared the stage with Country music icons such as Kelly Pickler and Joe Nichols, currently she can be seen playing her original music as well as covers, in her home town.
