The National Endowment for the Arts has withdrawn more than half a million dollars worth of grants that arts organizations all over Oregon were relying on. Portland Playhouse got a letter that said it would not get $25,000 meant for its production of August Wilson’s and Joe Turner’s "Come and Gone" that was to open the next day. Other organizations that saw their funding pulled include All Classical Portland, Oregon Children’s Theatre, NW Children’s Theatre, Passinart: A Theatre Company, and Profile Theatre. Portland Playhouse donors quickly made up the theatre’s lost $25,000 grant, but future federal funding is looking bleak to many Oregon arts organizations. Many of them met this week with Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, who vowed to do everything in her power to get federal funding restored. Claire Willett is a Portland-based playwright, artist and grant writer. She’s been following the NEA funding cuts for Oregon Arts Watch and joins us to share the latest developments.

Angela and Joshua interview Adam Eccleston, internationally renowned flutist and Chair of All Classical Portland's "Recording Inclusivity Initiative (RII)." Drawing upon his Caribbean heritage and desire to program and perform works by composers of African descent, Eccleston details the origins and process of the RII, a collection of never-before recorded compositions from the African diaspora now made available to radio stations and media outlets the world over in October 2022 via All Classical Portland.Song Selections: "Sonata for Flute and Piano (mvt 1)" by Coleridge Taylor Perkinson, feat.

"Muse" is the name of the debut recording by cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and his sister, pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. The siblings have recorded together before, in the 2020 release, "Carnival of the Animals", and have performed live many times. "Muse" includes two major 20th century cello sonatas, by Samuel Barber (1932); and Sergei Rachmaninov (1901), as well as shorter pieces by both composers. Sheku and Isata share the joys of performing as siblings (there is no rivalry, both say), and the challenges that have become all too familiar in these times. Hear the rest of the story in their conversation with All Classical Portland's Program Director John Pitman.

John Pitman, All Classical Portland's Director of Music and Programming, interviews pianist Seong-Jin Cho about the sixth and latest album. Returning to the music of Frédéric Chopin with Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2, Cho's CD was recorded in April of 2021, in Hamburg and London. Seong-Jin shares with John the process, and the special challenges, of recording in a studio with an orchestra during the pandemic and offers his insight into the young Chopin's approach to the concerto form, as well as to the four Scherzi, which were written at various stages in the composer's life.

John interviews Randall Goosby, whose debut on the Decca label, "Roots," was released this summer (and is being played on All Classical Portland regularly). The disc is an exploration of music written by Black composers and of composers inspired by Black American culture. Randall tells John Pitman about the importance and responsibility of bringing underrepresented composers into the repertoire, finding balance between violin study and sports; and the mentorship of the great violinist Itzhak Perlman, whose summer camp in New York is on, naturally, Shelter Island.

John Pitman, director of Music and Programming at All Classical Portland interviews Portland composer Kenji Bunch about an important world premiere happening a few states away, at the Moab Music Festival in Utah, on September 4. Inspired by the autobiographical accounts of the incarceration of United States citizens – Japanese-Americans, in World War II – “Lost Freedom: A Memory” is a chamber music piece that is woven with words spoken by a man who, as a boy, was one of those citizens forced from their homes and made to live in desolate camps thousands of miles away from where they had lived: Actor George Takei (Star Trek) will take part in the premiere at Moab Music Festival, reading his own words to Kenji's newly-composed score. Both Kenji Bunch and George Takei join John for this special Arts Blog conversation about the premiere:

Tune in to the latest #AllShineNoFlash conversation with Suzanne Nance, president and CEO of All Classical Portland, one of the nation's most renowned classical music broadcast stations. We talk about Suzanne's upbringing and journey to becoming an acclaimed opera performer, common misconceptions about classical music and the diverse programming on All Classical Portland. 

We have missed all of the live music in our lives over the length of the pandemic but one thing we should recognize is the efforts by broadcasters to keep sending the music our way. It hasn't been easy, as I can attest from my own show on KMHD but we do it because we love it and we know you need the music. With me today in the Artichoke Café is Suzanne Nance, CEO of All Classical Portland, also an on-air host there and a vocalist in her own right. What have they had to do to keep themselves in fresh programming? What does the future look like? It's always a delight to talk with her and today, no doubt will be too since we do see some daylight. Welcome back Suzanne Nance.

The Recording Inclusivity Initiative (RII) was created by All Classical Portland, a public radio station based in the Pacific Northwest, in collaboration with N M Bodecker Foundation and Naxos Records.

With your nominations, we will work together to change America’s playlist by producing new high-quality recordings of classical music by underrepresented composers.

All Classical Portland launched yesterday a new radio station -- this time aimed at children. The International Children’s Arts Network, or ICAN, is a new station on 89.9 HD-2 and online, which will feature music, poems, and literature, and much of it will be presented on air by kids. We talk with Program Manager Sarah Zwinklis, and youth reporter Emma Clarke, who tell us all about the new network and producing radio for kids.

Early in her career, violinist Hilary Hahn took on music that many before her wouldn't approach until they were a little older.  She chose three of the six unaccompanied violin works of J.S. Bach, a set regarded as the pinnacle of solo violin repertoire.  Now, 21 years later, Hahn returns to complete the set.  Naturally, her interpretation may sound different, but one constant remains:  Hilary Hahn is very much at home with these 6 pieces.  She shares more about it with All Classical Portland's program director John Pitman.

More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/praise-love-platos-symposium-meets-bernsteins-serenade. Plato’s Symposium is arguably the most memorable philosophical work ever written on the subject of love. It is also the inspiration for Leonard Bernstein’s gorgeous violin concerto, the Serenade. What would Plato think of Bernstein’s Serenade, especially given his criticism of art and poetry? Is Bernstein more interested in what one of Plato’s drunken characters calls “vulgar love”? Or is he inspired by Platonic love – the highest form of love? How does Bernstein explore these themes through his music? In this special episode featuring violin virtuoso Anne Akiko Meyers and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, John and Ken talk to Brandi Parisi from All Classical Portland radio about love – its nature, its origin and its purpose – and music.

Once again we’re in World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th & Glisan for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation. Today it’s a real star in Oregon’s Classical Music world, Suzanne Nance came to Portland to be the Program Director for All Classical Portland, our state-wide Classical Music service …not just radio…and now around two years later, she’s been named CEO at All Classical. That’s quite a change from her daily show and from wrangling on-air talent. How is she adapting? Does she miss doing her show? What about her new Sunday show? And when is she going to sing for everyone publicly here. Yes, she’s also a singer. What can’t she do? That will not be a line of inquiry. All Classical is riding a wave of popularity and she’s right in the middle of it. Let’s meet Suzanne Nance.

Feat. Suzanne Nance of All Classical Portland, we talk about the future of classical radio, and how she is engaging and reinventing how we listen to it. Drinking Sam Adams 'Double Bock', a 9.5% ABV beer packed full of flavor, listen to our conversations from Portland to Portland about all things classical radio. Cheers!
