An Evening with Clarice Assad
A benefit for NW Piano Trio & PDX Contemporary Ballet

Join us for an evening with Grammy-nominated composer and vocalist Clarice Assad. "Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a serious triple threat", Assad is a highly prolific and commissioned composer. Carefully crafted colorful textures permeate her vibrant and soulful musical world, which embraces a wide variety of styles, including her own original concepts." Join us in this intimate setting to hear a performance by Clarice, and get an inside look into her new work for piano trio and dance: "Iara". Commissioned by NW Piano Trio and PDX Contemporary Ballet, the work will be premiered May 11-13 (more information below). Enjoy wine, hors d'oeuvre and dessert and a chance to meet Clarice,
the choreographer and members of the trio!

This event is a benefit for NW Piano Trio and PDX Contemporary Ballet.

Some of the feedback we've received from our spring series: 
"Such beautiful music! Also loved the construction of the program... a wonderful, diverse but complimentary collection of composers and their music! Very, very impressive! Keep up the great music and experimentation."

"... angelic music in an inspired setting."

"Stunning first performance! I enjoyed the personal introductions, which enriched the experience."

"It was so wonderful to experience the beautiful music of three lovely women in a Frank Lloyd Wright house. Can’t ask for more than that!"
