community may19 Top Classical Guitarist to Perform in Clatskanie The Clatskanie Arts Commission (CAC) is pleased to present world-re- nown classical guitarist, Scott Kritzer, on Sunday, June 5, at 3:00 pm at the Clatskanie Birkenfeld Theatre located in the Clatskanie Cultural Center, 75 S. Nehalem. This performance is part of CAC’s Sunday Series and is sponsored by the Columbia County Cultural Coalition, the Oregon Cultural Trust and the Na- tional Endowment for the Arts. From concert halls in London, New York, Frankfurt and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., classical guitarist, Scott Kritzer will perform his Clatskanie debut in the beautifully restored Birkenfeld Theatre. One of America’s top classical guitarists, Kritzer will perform some of the great- est loved works for classical guitar in his program called Romance, featuring that popular repertoire that has brought both the casual listener and aficionado to the instrument. Guitarist Kritzer’s musical legacy comes from the late Andres Segovia through one of the maestro’s favorite pupils and Kritzer’s teacher, Michael Lorimer. Kritzer has been actively tour- ing for the past three decades across two continents, including performances in Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C., Sapporo, Japan, Munich, including Kritzer’s debuts at New York’s Carnegie Recital Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall and Lutheran Hall in Sapporo, Japan. He was also chosen to represent his State of Oregon in a performance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Wash- ington, D.C. In addition to an active performing and recording career Kritzer is a highly sought after teacher. Some of his past students have gone on to attend such no- table institutions as The Julliard School, The Royal Conservatory of Music in London, and his alma mater, The San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In addition, some of his past students have won regional, national and international guitar competitions. Kritzer’s program, Romance, is based on the early Segovia repertoire with a salting of later 20 th century ro- mantic works. Segovia introduced audi- ences in every part of the world to his instrument. One of Segovia’s favorite pupils was guitarist, Michael Lorimer. Kritzer states: “Michael Lorimer became the single most influential teacher in my career. His teaching and 2016 17 performing reflected the beauty of his teacher, Segovia, in a modern ‘ism. This program, Romance, is about those ‘first love’ pieces created by Segovia that first caught my ear - and also that reflect my early years working with Lorimer.” Kritzer will feature romantic works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Joquin Turina, Wil- liam Walton, Isaac Albeniz and others in an engaging program of ‘first love’ works for the classical guitar. All tickets are $10 and may be purchased at Hump’s Restaurant and at the ticket booth which opens at 2:30 the day of the performance. Tickets may be reserved by calling Elsa at (503) 728- 3403 and leaving your name and the number of tickets you would like re- served. Bridge Street Bits By Karen Miller I hope April showers brought you your May flowers and gardening starts. As for me I finally got my faucet working on my back deck and I have been busy trying to keep chipmunks and squirrels out of my birdfeeder. So far, the ol’ squirt gun routine hasn’t worked, or the cayenne pepper suet, “guaranteed” to keep them at bay, or the flyswatter “scare,” he just sat there till I got close enough to swat him off the deck.
