A turning point for modern western music. There is no greater transformative turning point for classical and modern western music than the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the music written to celebrate it. This Lenten-themed concert will include Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata No. 4, which he wrote for Easter in 1707. Cantatas were written for church services, and in honor of Christian holidays, and are marked by an emphasis on vocal presentation, with an instrumental accompaniment. Bach wrote more than 200 cantatas in his lifetime, which were critical in the development of both vocal and instrumental music, and are considered to be some of his best work.

Robbie Austin’s Memories are uncertain friends. features paintings on field book survey papers encased in bamboo frames, and will be open from March 30 through May 27 in the second floor gallery. Robbie Austin is a local artist who’s been active since the early 2000s. Robbie was born in Lake Charles, but was educated in Southern California at the California Institute of the Arts. Since Hurricane Laura in 2020, he has been experimenting with field book paper in his art, “I began working with field books after a hurricane blew my tree and treehouse onto a neighbor’s property, exposing a trove of material. She had boxes and boxes of these old books. I was enchanted. The paper is stormproof. It’s infused with resin and has an inherent object-ness.” The original code-like markings along with the irregular contours of the pages make for dynamic springboards of compositional play. Robbie takes advantage of these irregularities to create something truly unique.
